RANGER
Shock Skull
(Ektro Records)
10:28min

All those who have their radars turned on for good young Heavy Metal acts, surely already heard about this young band from Helsinki, and their "Skull Splitting Metal". The AGENT STEEL / ABATTOIR / EXCITER compatible sounds they generate, full of great guitar leads, high pitched screams and pounding rhythm section, placed them in the group of the most interesting so called "New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal" groups. Last year we got their (brilliant) debut EP with 5 songs, now Ektro Records announced a 7" single with 2 new songs. The title track which is coupled with ‘Omen Of Doom’ on side B, are both fast, classic sounding Speed Metal monsters, based on a classic headbanging rhythm we all love so much. Let’s keep our fingers crossed it’s just a teaser, and we will quickly receive a full length release, because their music and the band in general can be summed up with just one word: brilliant! Also make sure you don’t miss them at the Keep It True Festival in Germany! More information: www.facebook.com/rangerheavymetal and www.ektrorecords.com
