Hellevate - "Krampusnacht" (ep)
Οι Hellevate μας έρχονται από την αντίπερα όχθη του Ατλαντικού. Δημιουργήθηκαν προ δωδεκαετίας κι μας παρουσιάζονται κάπως έτσι: «Hellevate brings a unique and modern feel to traditional metal, spanning various subgenres and sounds to create distinctive musical ideas. Combining elements of thrash, speed, power, and traditional heavy metal, the band is living proof that unrelenting, uncompromising heavy metal is alive and well, and seeks to continue to dominate the rest of the world through it’s remorseless metal assault!»
Αναφέρουν μία πληθώρα επιρροών από το ευρύτερο heavy metal φάσμα γράφοντας (στην Facebook σελίδα τους) το όνομα των Manowar οκτώ φορές (τα υπόλοιπα συγκροτήματα τα αναφέρουν μία φορά)! Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, τρία EPs κι ένα single. Πιο πρόσφατο δισκογράφημά τους είναι το τριών τραγουδιών ep "Krampusnacht" που "βγήκε" προ ημερών...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Tis the season for mistletoe, Christmas pudding, Auntie Martha’s awful sweaters and of course, Krampus. Krampus the goat demon comes to take away all the children who have misbehaved during the year and this traditional central European folktale gets revisited with the seasonally appropriate track “Krampusnacht” from Kansas City’s Hellevate. Fortunately, it seems we’ve mostly been good this year as we get this new single to bang our heads to instead of getting eaten by a monster.
The speed/thrash act revisions the classic tale with a choice blend of hard-hitting riffs and quick drum work that is a welcome respite from the monotony of traditional Christmas music we’ve been forced to endure. “Krampusnacht” comes from the three-track EP of the same name, which also includes “If You Want Peace…” and “Prepare For War”. It’s a hearty dash of thrash to complement your holidays. So while you’re unwrapping presents and stuffing your face with baked goods, add some Hellevate to your traditions and turn up Krampusnacht.»
