Data Insight
All five tracks are the band's, credited individually rather than to the group. Terry Glaze sings and Vinnie Paul has more writing credits than his brother, which reverses later. Nothing about this record sounds like what the name came to mean.
Metal Magic came out on the band's own Metal Magic Records in June 1983, when the Abbott brothers were teenagers. It sold around 5,000 copies.
