WRATHCHILD

In 1984, the band recorded and released their debut studio album, Stakk Attakk. The album was well received and began to really show the band’s talent. It also spawned two singles; a cover version of the Gary Glitter classic “Doing Alright with the Boys” and “Trash Queen”, which really put them on the map, earning their first top 40 hits.

The band became big stars in the UK Metal scene, with Nukklear Rokket becoming a big hit. The promotional video was produced by Bruce Dickinson of NWOBHM giants, Iron Maiden. Bruce plays the protester in the video whilst the performance was filmed in the car park at his home in Chiswick. Ron Kennedy directed and edited the video as well as appearing as the mad professor. Meanwhile, Steve Prior was the cameraman. Finally, the band released their third, Delirium, in 1989, wasting no time in returning to the studio. It featured Grim Reaper’s Steve Grimmet on backing vocals.
