AIRSTRIKE Initial Attack CD

Originally pressed in just 100 vinyl copies and 300 cassettes back in 1986, this ultra-limited release has become a true holy grail for collectors of obscure U.S. Metal, with original copies fetching up to $400 on the secondhand markets.

Formed in Lincoln, Nebraska, AIRSTRIKE quickly carved a name for themselves with their explosive live shows and a high-voltage sound that blended razor-sharp riffs, melodic hooks, and anthemic choruses — drawing comparisons to the likes of early DOKKEN, QUIET RIOT, and KEEL. Their only full-length album, "Initial Attack", captures the pure essence of American 80s metal, combining hair metal energy with hard rock swagger and a uniquely Midwestern edge.

Whether you’re discovering "Initial Attack" for the first time or revisiting a long-lost favorite, this is your chance to own a piece of heavy metal history — finally restored and made available to the world once again. Includes audio fully remastered from the best available sources, original artwork and rare band photos.
