Leírás
NWOBHM, Cult Heavy Metal, eredetileg 1985-ben jelent meg az album.
Remaszterizált Karthago Records újrakiadás verzió, 2014.
Karthago Records’ re-release of BLOODY CLIMAX’S cult favorite „Back To The Wall” is a well deserved tribute to a Heavy Metal classic that was on the brink of extinction but now may enjoy a second chance at life. Formed in Germany in 1983, BLOODY CLIMAX was at the center of the European Heavy Metal explosion that included bands like ACCEPT, VENOM, ANGEL WITCH, and others.
The dual guitar work of Frank Heller and Daniel Loesch, especially on „Bloody Climax”, gives any mid-1980s IRON MAIDEN song a run for its money and the underlying melodies and precision playing certainly influenced a generation of European bands who in later years would incorporate such elements into more extreme forms of Metal. Heavy guitar riffs are tastefully displayed and, while aggressive, most likely wouldn’t alienate the casual music listener in the same way that, say, VENOM would have. Although tracks like „Cinderella” contain enough 1980’s cheese to make anyone cringe, as a whole this is a pretty solid Hard Rock release.
