The louder you play it, the better it sounds.
We were formed in January 1980 in the basement of the drummer's house in DeKalb County, Georgia. We debuted on December 6, 1980 at the Christmas dance at Shamrock High School. In the summer of 1981, we recorded two songs (In the Name of Rock and Roll and Queen for a Day) at Monarch Studios in Alpharetta, Georgia and submitted them for consideration by a local radio station (96rock) for inclusion in its Home Cookin' II LP. Out of over 1100 submissions, In the Name of Rock and Roll was one of the 12 songs selected for the album (released in the summer of 1982). In fall 1982, we recorded another eight songs at Monarch for inclusion on a demo. We disbanded the following year, but the 10 recordings were kept by our producer, Steve Starnes, and Monarch's engineer, Larry Turner. Steve and Larry were able to successfully digitally transfer the surviving copies of these songs to CD in 2007, and after obtaining the necessary U.S. copyrights, we were able (finally) to distribute them under the Catapult Distribution label to digital download sites like iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, emusic, and Amazon on June 1, 2009, where they are currently available for sale to the public.

Story behind the song
When Metalworks played a concert at Emory University at Oxford in Covington, GA, George Baisch met and became immediately (as in after the concert) involved with a young lady who was dressed rather dominatrixly in skin-tight black leather festooned with shiny metal chains. She was the only person (male or female) in the bandmembers' experience whose screams were louder than Metalworks onstage. George wrote this song about the experience....
Lyrics
She comes in the night with leather so tight, Lookin' the way that only she can, One look at me and she plainly sees I was destined to be her man She came to me and sat on my knee, Let me tell you that was all I could take! She said, "Lets go! For Ive got to know "About the love that were gonna make!" I know your aim is called satisfaction Because your chain brought on the reaction! I know your aim is called satisfaction Because your chain brought on the reaction! Take in her spell, my resistence fell, I found myself locked in the links of her love, Metal embrace, the look on her face, These are the things that my dreams are made of! I know your aim is called satisfaction Because your chain brought on the reaction! I know your aim is called satisfaction Because your chain brought on the reaction! Chorus It was a chain reaction, chain reaction, chain reaction...
