Iron Angel - Emerald Eyes - CD

For fans of Kreator, Sodom & old-school German speed/thrash.
German Speed Metal legend Iron Angel returns this year with the release of their forthcoming
fourth studio album “Emerald Eyes“, which is set for release in October of 2020 by Mighty Music.
The follow-up to their 2018 comeback album “Hellbound“, which gathered massive reviews sees
the band maturing and refining their sound without compromising intensity and aggression, quite
the contrary. The new release brings back a lot of the thrashiness, that has been somewhat
absent from anything the band has done since their 1985 debut „Hellish Crossfire“. On the other
hand, the songwriting, the performances, and the overall package, everything has reached a
new level in quality and with it’s clear (though not sterile) production, the band sounds fresh,
hungry, and energetic.
“We wanted to improve in every way possible“, says drummer Maximilian Behr and continues:
“On one hand we wanted to even further go back to the sound of “Hellish Crossfire“, but on the
other hand we also wanted to play to our own strengths, rather than the ones of others and I
think we really managed to do that. With “Emerald Eyes“ we married the past with the present at
last and now we set our eyes onto the future.“
Upon their return to activities in 2015, Iron Angel had toured like hell, having played in North-
America, South-America and across Europe. Festivals such as Play It Loud, Nordic Noise,
Metalbash, Headbangers Open Air, Metal Forces, Metallysee and Up the Hammers have tasted
the band's live roar. And many more will taste it as well when Iron Angel resume their live
activities in the beginning of 2021, with Bavarian Battle Open Air (DE) and Mangualde
Hardmetalfest (PT) already confirmed.
