Haven't got a clue but is it Judas Priest?

or possibly Marillion

Folks are skirting all round it, but not quite hitting the right name. No, not Priest either I'm afraid.
You are getting warm though.

It feels like Black Sabbath, but it's a bit better than their usual standard.

Not a bad stab.......................I'll let it ride a bit longer in case anyone else gets it.

In AJP tradition, here are some inspiring lyrics. Without foogling, can anyone name the group/song?

In the gloom the gathering storm abates
In the ships gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate

All summers long they drill to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master not your god
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flames
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
Drowning men no chance for a warriors fate
A choking death, enter hells gates

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
Oh the water is red
With the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

How long on this longest day
Till we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
Till we finally make it through

The rising dead, faces bloated torn
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
You still go on, to hell and back again

Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
The warrior tombs lie open for us all
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
Blood and sand, we will prevail
