Trespass - 'Wolf at the Door' (official album stream)

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία πενταετία για τους Trespass. "Wolf at the Door" ο διάδοχος του album "Footprints in the Rock" (Ιανουάριος 2018) και συνολικά τέταρτος "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Βρετανών metallers και κυκλοφόρησε μόλις χθες.

Οι Trespass αποτελούν ένα από τα "μυθικά" Βρετανικά συγκροτήματα των αρχών της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα που κυκλοφόρησε μονάχα singles (δύο), demo και ep που έγιναν το "ιερό δισκοπότηρο" των απανταχού συλλεκτών που μάζευαν οτιδήποτε "άγνωστο" από το μουσικό ρεύμα του NWOBHM. "Ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο κατάφεραν να βγάλουν στα 90s ("Head" 1993).

Επανήλθαν πριν από εννέα χρόνια. Από τα ιδρυτικά μέλη της μπάντας (πίσω στο μακρινό 1979) παραμένει μόνο ο τραγουδιστής - κιθαρίστας Mark Sutcliffe. Τα υπόλοιπα μέλη της τωρινής σύνθεσης των Trespass ενσωματώθηκαν την τελευταία πενατετία...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Five years after “Footprints In The Rock”, NWOBHM unsung heroes Trespass are back with a superb new album entitled “Wolf At The Door”.

Encompassing issues and subjects close to their hearts - especially environmental themes - the album were written by founding member, guitar player and vocalist at his home studio, being later recorded at Crooks Hall Studios, all in the wilds of Suffolk. Nigel Palmer (Raging Speedhorn, Satan’s Empire) then polished altogether in Lowland Masters.

This typical British environment helped Trespass maintain their NWOBHM signature twin-guitar sound, while having a drive and energy in the rhythm section that transports them right back into the 20s. The artwork, by Mark Wilkinson (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) put the final touch in a release that won’t disappoint the old-school fans, as well as new ones.

Trespass was formed in 1979 in Sudbury, Suffolk by Mark Sutcliffe (guitar, vocals) and his brother Paul on drums. The band enjoyed success and critical acclaim as part of the New wave of British Heavy Metal in the early 80s, although it has only released a few singles and an EP – the cult “Bright Lights”, from 1981.

Songs such as “One Of These Days”, “Stormchild” and “Bright Lights” have made their mark. In the 90s, Trespass was back in full action and in 1993 the band finally released their long-awaited debut album “Head”, helping keep the NWOBHM flame alive in a dark decade for traditional metal.

The second album, self-titled, surfaced in 2015, and the group didn’t need another decade for a follow-up, with “Footprints In The Rock” being released three years after, with reactions, confirming that Trespass music is still enjoyed by rock and metal fans all over the world. While preparing the next full-length release, Trespass is currently rehearsing a set of classics old and new, for UK and European shows next year.»
