Total Knock Out – The Complete TKO

TKO’s 5CD box set brings together their three classic studio albums, as well as a posthumously released second album, Round Two. The set also includes numerous rarities, alternate versions, and demos.

Additionally, the box set features the EP from the post-TKO band, Suicide Squad, on CD for the first time ever. For many, Seattle band TKO needs no introduction. They are a pioneering US metal outfit that burst onto the scene with their first album, 1979's ‘Let It Roll’. This album established them as American metal leaders, at least a year before the NWOBHM acts from the UK started to make waves, and three years before the US power metal movement took hold Stateside.

Band leader Brad Sinsel guided TKO through several line-up changes in the 80s, leading them on an, at times, challenging path to success. Despite the obstacles, they became firm cult favorites with fans and highly influential among musicians. Icons such as Pearl Jam's Mike McCready and various traditional European metal acts still cite TKO as a major influence to this day.
