Tailgunner - White Death
Modern NWOBHM named after the Iron Maiden track. Plays exactly what you expect. I do love actually listening to this on repeated listens though, I seem to find subtleties here and there, like the rhythm guitar doin its own thing during the solo. Bandcamp link below does not have this album but their followup.

So, turns out the guitarist (Rhea Thompson) left the band after having been replaced for upcoming tour shows without notification on top of some serious SA allegations against the bassist (Thomas Hewson). Not exactly sure what to make of that but it's disappointing to say the least. Source: https://www.loudersound.com/news/tailgunner-guitarist-rhea-thompson-steps-down-2026
Looking forward to see where Rhea Thompson puts her talents next as I think she was a real highlight for me on this record.
