Want »Speed ??Metal made in Germany«? Then stay with Iron Angel. The legendary formation from the beautiful Hamburch came together in 1980, and after an intensive treatment from Priest, Venom and Slayer, they went on stylistically to elaborate their own score - without a big plan, however: "We made the songs as they were in us Shot the pear without wanting to fit into any genre. We played something, they all found it cool and then it was just recorded. " The demos "Legions of Evil" and "Power Metal Attack", summarized here, were both published in 1984 and recorded under the most underground conditions one can imagine: "For that time, we really had, ??????hhhh ... nix! 4 microphones, a tape reverberator and a 4-track cassette recorder. Switch on, 1 2 3 4, fire free! Then we added the things in the next room of a church. Fortunately, the priest could not speak English! " All in all, Iron Angel can not have been particularly stupid, because after the release of the demos, they were already one of Germany's most promising newcomers, and with SPV the German Speed ??Metal pioneers also found their first record company. Dirk is not so unhappy about the fact that High Roller have accepted the first two Iron Angel demos: "First and foremost, I appreciate the unrivaled transparency with which this company works. This creates trust and is the best foundation for a good partnership. In addition, HRR is a label that really has a lot to do with the songs and the band that brings them out! "
