Lynx Caught In The Trap

80s classic heavy metal / hard rock reissued on night black vinyl with old school insert and art

Every once in a while, a treasure of the metal underground resurfaces, and "Caught in the Trap" by Lynx is exactly that. Originally released in 1985, this Swedish band's sole album captures the essence of the 80s metal spirit: soaring vocals, sharp-edged riffs, pounding rhythms, and that unmistakable touch of synthesizer that gives it a unique charm. Inspired by legends like Deep Purple and rooted in the melodic energy of the NWOBHM, Lynx carved out their place in the Scandinavian heavy metal scene. Their music is a perfect blend of melodic hard rock and driving heavy metal, appealing to fans who appreciate both precision and power.



Despite its undeniable quality, "Caught in the Trap" remained a hidden gem for decades. Songs like "My Own Way" and "Man Without a Face" showcase the band's ability to craft anthemic tracks with introspective depth, while "Master of Evil" and "Final Race" deliver relentless energy. Unfortunately, the band dissolved shortly after the album's release, leaving this masterpiece largely undiscovered by the wider metal audience. But the legacy of Lynx has endured among collectors and die-hard fans, who have kept the album's flame alive.



This re-release is more than just an album - it's a piece of heavy metal history brought back to the forefront.



Released on night black vinyl with heavy matte cover and insert, restored and recreated artwork keeping the 80s spirit. Comes in overbag with hype sticker, Cold Knife and Lynx trading card.
