KÜENRING
”S/T”
(SAOL)
Battle Helm Rating
This Vienna based band have a name that is bloody hard to pronounce if you are not fluent in German. I have no idea what it means. Thankfully the music is much easier to understand. This is being described as heavy/speed metal with a hint of thrash. I can but agree with that description. This gives me vibes of a time lost when metal was not as divided into categories as it is today. I totally love old Running Wild, old Helloween, Savage Grace and that whole speed metal of the 80s. I am not saying that KüENRING are the new saviours of speed metal but it is sure nice to hear an album that in parts reminds me of the past. Anders Ekdahl
