LIVING DEATH - Vengeance Of Hell LP (Red/Grey Vinyl)

German speed metal had quite a few models (Living Death, Running Wild, Helloween, Tyrant, Atlain, Iron Angel) to choose from back then… it was no wonder that it became such a wholesome genre literally overnight, and ruled the world for a bit before its rowdier brother thrash took over. And the Deaths joined the more aggressive fray, yes, but not before they released the godly “Metal Revolution”, the speed metal classic to end all speed metal classics. Who would have thought, at this early stage, that some of the band members would later take part in the execution of some of the most complex, most puzzling soundscapes ever under the cloak of Mekong Delta’s Ralph Hubert… no traces of any challenging music forms whatsoever here… it was all Satan, devils, hell and partying… and love; loads of love... and a non-stop mosh topped by a heart-rending siren.
