Métal Intégral - Review / BLACK ANGELS

Hard & heavy switzerland

Approximate translation of the review

Notice to fans of Hard Rock 80's and people wanting to revisit some of the history of metal or 80's to discover it!

BLACK ANGELS is a group of German-speaking Switzerland which began in 1979 and has released four albums and a single between 1981 and 1985, more so because they are french for us it must be said ...

Stefan to KARTHAGO had the very good idea to leave a box limited to 500 copies containing the four albums and a CD of new titles (all compounds over the past ten years by the singer Ron PHILLIPS. Each of the four CDs can be purchased each (limited to 500 copies as well).

The group in its infancy (except Hellmachine, see column) has made securities between Hard and heavy, always melodic. That could be the 80's to BLACK ANGELS in family RAINBOW, UFO, BONFIRE (or for those who do not know the latter group, the SCORPIONS plus Underground and more direct). On some
titles mind Rock'n'Roll a MEAT LOAF is also present.

Black and White starting in 1985 could be the album the most explosive and most of the Heavy! Yes, Running With The Wind and Queen Of The Night (and Straight To The Border) of us make the mouth water! From fast melodic served by very good rhythm and dynamics in the German Heavy
... We feel that the group, while keeping a " SCORPIONS ," wanted to put more power in his compositions. Even in the song is more aggressive!
But the damage, other titles will be more in a Hard Rock classic. Fortunately, the rhythmic and are firmly supported and keep a good intensity to the end. Only the very " Rock " will be below Bad Strike .

The good news is that on the re 2009 Black and White edition will be on the same CD from Hellmachine in 1981, another very good album of the group (see column).
