Overview

Heavy Medal is the GrundRecords reissue of early R-Mobil material — one of the Hungarian hard rock bands that came up in the early 1980s, when heavy guitar music was still pushing against the limits of what could be released at home. This edition pairs the studio album with a 1982 live recording, so you get both the polished and the raw side of the group.

The first part runs through the album proper: "Nem érhet baj," the title track "Heavy Medal," "Pléhkrisztus." The second part, "Kék, 1982.02.20.," is a live document featuring the ambitious "Honfoglalás" suite — a five-part piece on the Hungarian conquest — alongside rockers like "Rocktóber" and "Rock 'n' Roll."

A solid archival release for fans of Hungarian rock history, remastered and packaged for the 2023 reissue.
