Red, Hot and Heavy is the debut studio album by the Danish hard rock/heavy metal band Pretty Maids, released in 1984 by CBS Records. It is the only Pretty Maids album to feature Rick Hanson (ex-Shylock, later in Pentagon and Cold Drop). After the album's release, Hansen was briefly replaced by early Mercyful Fate guitarist Benny Petersen, who moved on to start the band Jackal, which released four albums.[4]
The song "Night Danger" was used on the soundtrack for the horror film Demons (1985), directed by Lamberto Bava. In 2005, Red, Hot and Heavy was ranked at No. 437 in Rock Hard magazine's The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[5]
