Sound Barrier

Author: admin Category: 5

The band was formed in 1980 and some time later, they recorded a four track demo that lead them to sign with MCA, who released their first album Total Control from 1983. The first album had a lot of Funk/Blues fusion with Metal, but it not sell as MCA expected, and they get dropped. In 1984 the band released the Born to Rock EP, by their own independent label, Pitbull Records. In 1986, they signed with Metal Blade and was released the album Speed of Light, with more Heavy Metal influences on its sound. After the Speed of Light release, a Italian guitarrist Alex Masi joined the band and took control of everything, leaving the remaining original members no option but to quit the band.

    Good to see Sound Barrier get some recognition. I have been listening to these guys for years. I wish one of these old school metal record companies would pick up SPEED OF LIGHT and re-release it on CD. It deserves to be on CD…along with MX MACHINE!!! I love this ORIGINAL metal band. Yes people, these guys were around before LIVING COLOUR. Hail Sound Barrier!! \m/
