Ivory Tiger was another band who came in the later years of the newer waves of heavy metal and NWOBHM and all that they gave us, was a demo and a great EP, Metal Mountain, consisting of 4 songs. Believe me, only 4 songs are truly enough to give us an idea of the potential of the band. Great compositions with traditional old school 'eavy riffs and, of course, a powerful voice, as needed for a band like this!
What we can possibly say, is that their style used to be similar to the glam metal bands that followed later, judging by the vocals and maybe the lyrics (I have not found the lyrics yet, so I'm just guessing from those I have made out). But do not get disappointed, their music is still heavy, their riffs are still what you want to hear and that EP surely belongs to the diamonds of that era.
Give it a go, so as to form your impressions and if you like it, go find it on vinyl, even though that's something difficult, as it is a rarity.
