“Rock On”), a couple of upbeat melodic metal tracks (“One Way” \u0026amp; “State Of Emergency’), a  slower, more driving number (“The Young Men have A Vision”) and a pair of ballads (“The Answer” \u0026amp; “Surprise”).  And the band pulls it off without a hitch, which is a credit to the strength of the songwriting here. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA Man\u003cbr\u003eI Need You Love (Extended)\u003cbr\u003eRock On (Extended)\u003cbr\u003eThe Answer\u003cbr\u003eOne Way\u003cbr\u003eMomma\u003cbr\u003eStryken Show Intro (Live)\u003cbr\u003eCrush the Head of Satan\u003cbr\u003eSurprise\u003cbr\u003eThe Young Men Have a Vision (Live Intro)\u003cbr\u003eState of Emergency\u003cbr\u003eRiot\u003cbr\u003eI'll Be Home\u003cbr\u003eStryken Band (Intros and Message)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRRCD1641 STRYKEN - BLITZKRIEG CD 637405143454\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom the iconic band that released\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eFirst Strike\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes free Ltd and numbered Collector Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited to just 500 units!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1983 album -1st time ever album released as a CD!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes two new bonus tracks for the first time!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6-panel digiwallet with lyrics and band pics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemastered by Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBand authorized special reissue \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional write-up by Doug Van Pelt of \u003cem\u003eHeaven's Metal Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***STRYKEN: BLITZKRIEG (ABOUT THE ALBUM)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTRYKEN’s release of this 11 song BLITZKRIEG album, was born from the early STRYKER years.  In 1983, as STRYKER, Polygraph Records released this 10 song debut album titled BLITZKRIEG with fellow band members Joey Knight (Drummer) and David Kurowski (Bass Player).
