Holy sh..! Denmark just wake up or what !!!. This country,
who was represented before by DAD, Pretty Maids or Mercyful
Fate, wasn't really active those years on the metal scene.
Now, after Manticora, there is a brand new melodic power/speed
metal band out of Denmark called Iron Fire and believe me
they will explode your metal heads. First impression on "Thunderstorm"
is this excellent sound : Well, with a producer called Tommy
Hansen, could it be different ? The music is a mix of Helloween
and Running Wild (who said 80's German power / speed metal
?). Very melodic, catchy, killing riffs and also VERY nostalgic.
From first listening I said to myself "I know this singer".
In fact, Martin Steene voice (very good by the way) is a mixture
of Chris Bay (Freedom Call) and .....Vince Neil (Motley Crüe,
first years). But this singer has another great quality :
he wrote the entire album (music & lyrics, except two
songs for the lyrics - can you believe this !!!). Running
Wild riffs and speedy Helloween guitars are everywhere confirming
one of Martin Steene's favorite German metal band (Running
Wild). It is not a new metal style or sound, but who gives
a shit. Wonderful chorus (full of metal hymns that will kill
us in live gigs) to "explosions" (we are talking about real
explosions "effect" here) and with great guitars melodies,
this is a must for all German power / speed metal fans. Who
is next from Denmark ???
