Australia\u00b4s ELM STREET debuts with an album that will be recognized by al fans of classic metal. Eight years after their conception ELM STREET takes their IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MEGADETH and GRIM REAPER influenced metal to the retailer\u00b4s. Live they have played with Australia\u00b4s finest e.g. BLACK MAJESTY and THE ANGELS. Amusingly enough this youngish quartet has enlisted the aid of legendary thrash cover maestro Ed Repka. But what do they sound like, and are they as splendid as the info sheet says?<\/p>\n
They open with the title track, as is requested by a classic band. \u201cBarbed Wire Metal\u201c has a lot of guts, chorus and a fine riff, as could be expected. They continue in fine fashion until \u201cElm St\u00b4s Children\u201c. The chorus alone of that track is five star material! The amusing \u201cHeavy Metal Power\u201c pairs IRON MAIDEN with the finest thrash. Making a fine progression into the highly entertaining twin guitar attack of \u201cKing of Kings\u201c. Simple effectiveness, heavy metal, thrash, youthful enthusiasm, something apart from that too I guess and it all makes for an eyebrow raising album. I can\u00b4t really say what is so distinguishing, but isn\u00b4t that always the case in enthralling music? The sing\/along freaks get their happy hour in the archetypal \u201cMetal Is the Way\u201c. Well, MANOWAR is still making a good living out of it, aren\u00b4t they? I sincerely hope that ELM STREET can make a living out of this, and they\u00b4d be more than welcome to these parts of the world I believe\u2026if an established artist dares to bring them on board\u2026<\/p>\n
