STAKK ATTAKK! Because everything's cooler with pyro and extra k's
As an avid metal head, one has to wonder how these dudes didn't make it bigger than they did. Lightning bolt shaped guitars and dressed to kill, it's WRATHCHILD in STAKK ATTAKK. Becides over using hairspray and the letter "k" these dudes are fucking awesome. These dudes pre-date motley crue by about 2 years, and are so high voltage that it hurts.
The pyro in this video is probably the highlight, with 7 explosions about a minute into the video, it's a wonder nobody has shrapnal wounds. The cheesy pentatonic riffage and predictable guitar solo attempt to spice it up, but luckily their vocalist totes a rocket launcher and lights off a couple sparklers to compensate for the lack of creative shredding. He literally shoots a rocket launcher into the crowd, which looks more like a t-shirt gun than anything. Somehow they manage to make this song last a whole 'nother minute. Cursed to look like David Bowie in labyrinth, Stakk Attakk fell into obscurity some years later, and broke up most likely on a big cocaine binge. High Voltage.
