This is their debut album and AFM Records has signed here a very interesting and promising band. We are talking of typical German heavy metal here. As usual, Accept & Helloween (first years) are Rawhead Rexx influence. From speedy songs (Town Of Skulls) to more conventional heavy stuff (Opposing Force, Blood On My Hands), Rawhead Rexx doesn't forget Iron Maiden on Mr. Hyde or on Sons Of Mayhem. This is a promising debut album, but on the other hand their are so many bands out there delivering such metal since more than 20 years that Rawhead Rexx will have lots of difficulties to emerge out of this metal scene. The band is currently touring with Annihilator and Nevermore (opening act) and even though they play "an old fashioned heavy metal" music, I am sure lots of metal heads will be surprised by this band. I am a bit astonished by the production here. This album has been produced by Charly Bauerfeind (Helloween, Blind Guardian, Saxon,....) and I have heard much better production coming from this guy. Budget ? I can't really tell you, but Charly doesn't create this type of sound usually. Not a bad production, but a bit "oldish" actually. That's maybe Rawhead Rexx who wanted to sound like this. Last but not least, some personal Rawhead Rexx's words : "Hey folds, this fucking record is guaranteed without any fucking keyboards!". Couldn't say it any better. If you are like old stuff "à la" Accept, this one is for you. |
