There are times when a man needs some proper loud music and they don't make too much of it these days. Probably something to do with avoiding offending someone, but there is rather a lot of safe, polite music about these days.
"Nothing Comes Free" is proper loud music. There is some evil, all the way from the gates of hell guitar from Brian Tonner and some manic sixties' style organ from David Cowan to set the scene.
