Girlschool – Nightmare At Maple Cross – Cassette

Nightmare at Maple Cross is the sixth studio album by the British all-female heavy metal band Girlschool. It was released in 1986. Girlschool gained recognition in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement and were known for their energetic and hard-hitting music.

Nightmare at Maple Cross represents Girlschool’s brand of hard-hitting heavy metal with a touch of punk and rock ‘n’ roll attitude. The album features powerful guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and the distinctive vocals of Kim McAuliffe and Enid Williams, who were key members of the band.

Girlschool found themselves rejoining old-time partners-in-crime Motorhead at brand-spanking-new independent label GWR for the following year’s follow-up, Nightmare at Maple Cross.

Not that there’s any concrete evidence suggesting Lemmy and Co. had any influence on some of the better new tracks, namely “All Day, All Night,” “Play with Fire,” and “Turn It Up”, renewing their acquaintance with heavier riffs and proto-riot grrrl aggression, for a change.

But the presence of producer Vic Maile, responsible for both Girlschool’s and Motorhead’s early triumphs, was certainly a contributing factor. Ensuring that even the album’s more obviously commercial, singalong efforts came wrapped in a good bit of barbed wire.

Some of the tracks on the album include “Play Dirty,” “Burning in the Heat,” and “Surrender.” The lyrics often touch on themes of rebellion, love, and life on the road, which are common in heavy metal and rock music.

While Girlschool may not have reached the same level of commercial success as some of their male counterparts in the heavy metal genre, they garnered a dedicated fanbase and earned recognition for their contributions to the NWOBHM movement. “Nightmare at Maple Cross” is one of the albums that solidified their place in the history of heavy metal and is appreciated by fans of the genre.
