ANVIL CHORUS -The Killing Sun CD.... ENFIN!
Modérateurs : Modérateurs du forum, Responsables / Animateurs de sections
Et oui l'album du groupe criminellement ignoré, ANVIL CHORUS, existe enfin...26 ans apres sa sortie avortée sur King Classic Records a l'époque..... "The Killing Sun".... peut être l'album de la décade....rien de moins!
Anvil Chorus - The Killing Sun CD. Nearly 3 decades after the group's formation and a couple years after their recent reformation, this legendary underground San Francisco progressive heavy metal band unleashes their first full length debut album for the Rockadrome label. Consisting solely of newly recorded material from their early 80s heyday, it's destined to be the classic album everyone has long awaited from this magical group. Led by guitarist Thaen Rasmussen and vocalist/bassist Aaron Zimpel (who have also had roles in various bands such as Heathen, Metal Church, Vicious Rumors, Release and Control), the integrity of their original sound is fully maintained and should please anyone who has followed the band through the years or owned any of their heavily circulated demo tapes. A 12-page color booklet with liner notes written by San Francisco metal legend Ron Quintana (KUSF/Metal Mania), cover art by Mark Devito (Motorhead) and packed with lyrics and photos, completes this magnificent and much anticipated release.
Anvil Chorus. The name itself suggests something a little more than the typical hard rock band; something intelligent and complex, even sophisticated -- and they were. Anvil Chorus made a thinking man's metal. There was such a thing and it wasn't thought of as a style, just good music that put some structure and challenge into a normally repetitive form. Clearly influenced by the prevailing titans of progressive rock and heavy metal of the day, Anvil Chorus was a fount of unique inspirations. A group of talented individuals, half of them multi-instrumentalists and all of them bringing to the table a creative flair. The composition, arrangement and melodic skills enjoyed a harmonic and contrapuntal implementation that was delivered crushingly… hugely. The sound was Big with a capital “B”. The guitar harmonies, keyboard wizardry and bottled-lightning rhythm section were a powerful collision. Heavy riffs, catchy melodies, belting vocals and a refined aesthetic completed the signature sound; Anvil Chorus, in the early 1980’s, rightly earned a buzz of their own for their unique and exquisite style, which to this day continues to be regarded as significant and influential.

Re: ANVIL CHORUS -The Killing Sun CD.... ENFIN!
clair que c'est une bonne nouvelle et un achat impératif ! On aura attendu presque aussi longtemps qu'un nouvel album de Witchfinder General, et pour les 2, quelques années en arrière je n'aurai jamais cru à un nouvel album de ces groupes.
J'ai les démos en CDR et même une d'elle en K7 originale, je me souviens plus du titre mais la jaquette est rouge et les infos tapées à la machine.... un des meilleurs trucs qui soit sorti aux US au début des 80' ce groupe.

"ANVIL CHORUS, légende des années 80's de la NWOSFHM (New Wave of San Francisco Heavy Metal), vient d'entrer en studio (au F8 Studios à San Francisco) en compagnie de Nate Harlow, pour débuter l'enregistrement de leur nouvel album. Sans nom pour l'instant, cet opus est produit par le guitariste de la formation, Thaen Rasmussen, et par le chanteur/bassiste Aaron Zimpel. Ce nouvel album incluera les morceaux suivants * Deadland * Fall for Anything * Solar Flux * Blood Memory * Burn Forever * Senses Alive * Colossus * 20 Second Century * Moonstroke "
ça m'a l'air d'être des nouveaux morceaux ?
