DESCRIPTION
The follow-up to their 2018 comeback album "Hellbound", which gathered massive reviews (see below) sees the band maturing and refining their sound without compromising intensity and aggression, quite the contrary. The new release brings back a lot of the thrashiness, that has been somewhat absent from anything the band has done since their 1985 debut "Hellish Crossfire". On the other hand, the songwriting, the Read more [...] performances, and the overall package, everything has reached a new level in quality and with its clear (though not sterile) production, the band sounds fresh, hungry, and energetic.
"We wanted to improve in every way possible", says drummer Maximilian Behr and continues: "On one hand we wanted to even further go back to the sound of "Hellish Crossfire", but on the other hand we also wanted to play to our own strengths, rather than the ones of others and I think we really managed to do that. With "Emerald Eyes" we married the past with the present at last and now we set our eyes onto the future."
