Hellride – Album artwork & tracklist revealed
Heavy Metal power with two acoustic guitars and vocals – nothing else!
The three-piece from Germany can be declared as pioneers of Acoustic Metal, being the first to dare to play Heavy Metal without drums and distorted guitars . They wrap the core of Heavy Metal in an acoustic vesture, clean but yet heavy. “Hellride” accomplishes solely with two acoustic guitars and expressive vocals to convey the heaviness of Metal and to enthusiate their audience.
Now the band has revealed the artwork and the tracklist for their upcoming debut album “Acousticalized” (Out: October 11th). Check it out and get a free download track!
The 13 album tracks include self-composed songs and some cover versions of well-known metal classics. For “Ace Of Spades” (Motörhead) HELLRIDE got the support of Sodom’s Tom Angelripper while Gerre from Tankard was on board for the song “United Forces” (S.O.D.). The CD also contains a live recording of “Love You To Death” (Type O Negative). Music connoisseurs who think that metal has to be distorted, tinnitus supporting and unsophisticated, should by all means listen to “Acousticalized” by HELLRIDE. They do not want to miss the beginning of a new genius musical genre: The New Wave Of Acoustic Metal!
