“Hellish Crossfire track review
The Metallian – this track opens the album with a fantastic guitar riff. This song is one the band’s greatest classics and it shows clearly where the German Thrash Metal gods had their influences
Sinner 666 – Althought the excellent guitar work in the beginning of the track, Dirk Schroder’s excellent vocal performance is the highlight of this song. It’s impossible to forget the chorus ‘Cause I’m a sinner!’
Black Mass – The drums are very loud in this track. Slower than the others, this is the track for the fans to sing along with the whole band the amazing chorus
The Church Of the Lost Souls – Pure power! This is real Speed Metal. Fast riffs and even a small drum solo make this song one of the best of the album
Hunter in Chains – After a riff that reminds me of Deep Purple’s ‘Burn’, you’ll find all the elements of Iron Angel’s sound
Rush of Power – Perfect song for mosh pits. After the technical intro, power and force take over and rule the track
Legions of Evil – Remember NY’s Whiplash? This song’s intro reminds me of the classic ‘The Burning of Atlanta’. But this is their only similarity. Iron Angel’s song is outstanding, specially the chorus, sung by the whole band
Wife of the Devil – Thrash Metal! Kudos to drummer Mike Mattes!
Nightmare – The calm beginning may make you think this is a ballad. Even if it’s the slowest song from the album, it’s far from being one
Heavy Metal Soldiers – This song is something special, with galloping guitar riffs and a slightly different vocal approach. The guitar duel in the solo is fantastic“
