WALLOP – „Alps on Fire“ – limited Vinyl Edition - Releasedate: 13th May 2022
WALLOP “Alps on fire” will be released on Friday, May 13th, 2022 in a
limited edition of 300 copies on 180 gram red vinyl. After the 1980s
old-school metal band around ex-Grave Digger drummer Stefan Arnold
reformed at the end of 2018 after 33 years in the original line-up (!)
of the first album "Metallic Alps" from 1985, the second album "Alps on
fire" was released in April 2020 on PURE STEEL RECORDS, exactly at the
beginning of the Corona Pandemic. With the release of the album on
vinyl, the 4 rockers from Offenbach (GER) are finally taking off, first
club and festival shows have already left a lasting impression on many
metalheads. The current album - unadulterated, powerful old school heavy
metal - has received very good reviews and once the pandemic is over,
the band will be taking to the world's club and festival stages for
years to come. Checkout tips are the metal anthem "Lack of power",
"Missing in action" or the RAVEN song "Crash, bang, wallop", to which
the band owes its name. None other than John Gallagher (RAVEN) is
featured on this song along with WALLOP frontman Mikk Wega on vocals and
playing the guitar solo.
Metal Temple [Israel] (04/2020) “… These guys still have liquid metal in their veins and fire in their hearts … “Alps on Fire” a
blast to listen to; you just want to bang your head and maybe smash
things as you mosh around … the melodies are so frantic and catchy,
like gasoline on flames… “ Rating Excellent 8/10
Metal to Infinity Webzine [Belgium]
(04/2020) “… vibrant guitars and nice soloing accompanied by steaming
drums and thunderous bass lines are the appropriate support for the
clear and strong vocal service, occasionally alternating with more rough
tones … the whole package brings Teutonic Metal at its best …” Rating 86/100
Experience the Power Fanzine [Greece]
(08/2020) “… WALLOP is the right example simply because they are coming
from that distant era (80`s) and simply because they have it in their
veins and they just can’t hide it.” Rating 8,5/10
