🔘The Natives Are Restless is the third and last studio release by the American speed metal band Hawaii and the only one to feature guitarist Tom Azevedo, formerly of Honolulu band Rat Attack. It is also the band’s only album to see an official overseas release, with France’s Axe Killer Records and Germany’s SPV/Steamhammer both issuing the record in Europe, using individual cover artwork. SPV would re-issue the album on CD in 1988; Axe Killer followed in 1997 and again in 2007. We all know about Marty Friedman’s long stint in Megadeth, coming out with impressive solos and riffs like “Hangar 18“, and some of us know that he has a solo career in Japan, but few of us know that he also had a stint in a band called Hawaii. Originally called Vixen, the band formed in their home state of Hawaii (no, seriously, there are metal bands in Hawaii) and produced two great albums before breaking up after 1985, when they released “The Natives are Restless.“ While it has some traces of radio compatibility, it still shows off Friedman’s talent quite well. The song “Beg for Mercy“ was originally recorded by Marty Friedman with his previous band Vixen for their 1983 Made In Hawaii EP. TRACKLIST_ 01. Call of the Wild 00:00 02.
