SHIPPING DOMESTIC $ 6 PLUS $ 3 EACH ADDITIONAL OVERSEAS FIRST $ 16 Trident's single is yet another NWOBHM 7" release that has a terrific song on one side and a lesser number on the flipside. 'Destiny' is a great, energetic, anthemic song that is very similar to early Iron Maiden and Tokyo Blade. Fans of faster, guitar-driven NWOBHM such as Hollow Ground and the aforementioned Iron Maiden and Tokyo Blade will definitely enjoy this track. Sharp, fluid guitar work propels the song along, and the vocalist even sounds somewhat like Paul DiAnno. The B-side is has a 'party song' vibe that makes one suspect it was meant to be a sing-along number to get the crowd involved. Formed in North Wales in 1980, Trident started as a trio by John Owen (guitars/vocals), Dave Alexander (bass) and John Pritchard (drums). They released one of the most sought after and highly acclaimed British 7'' singles entitled "Destiny / Power of the Trident" back in 1983. Trident ended in 1985 and John Owen formed Filthy Rich, a great melodic hard rock / metal trio that also released a great single entitled "She's 17 / Love Ain't A Fool". you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9xOZi0nQHk impossible to find the original 1983 release new / never out of the plastic
