│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Driving on Swedish highways doesnÆt give you any ║ │
│║ satisfaction when it comes to enjoying the power ║ │
│║ of speed. Restrictive speed limits shrink down ║ │
│║ the possibilities and you have to search for ║ │
│║ other ways to get the thrill of speed. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Gothenburg-based metal enthusiasts of Air Raid ║ │
│║ decided to get around this by putting a high ║ │
│║ pace into focus when it comes to their metal ║ │
│║ music. The guys started in 2009, based on an ║ │
│║ initiative of bandleader Andreas Johansson. ║ │
│║ ôNight of the Axeö was the debut, released in ║ │
│║ 2012, that acted as a springboard for signing a ║ │
│║ contract with High Roller Records. Air Raid ║ │
│║ became part of a portfolio that also includes ║ │
│║ more Swedish bands, all revitalizing traditional ║ │
│║ metal by adding the unlimited enthusiasm of ║ │
│║ youth to this specific metal style. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Three years after ôPoint of Impactö broke ║ │
│║ through the surface itÆs ôAcross the Lineö which ║ │
│║ acts as the third strike. As we have seen many ║ │
│║ times before, itÆs this the third album that is ║ │
│║ a very decisive one with a bigger impact on a ║ │
│║ bandÆs future. In case of Air Raid, we can ║ │
│║ conclude that all signs direct into a positive ║ │
│║ future. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôAcross the Lineö showcases the quintet wild and ║ │
│║ furious, as for what they are known for, but the ║ │
│║ new cd is also more mature, with songs that show ║ │
│║ an evolvement of band and sound. Achieving such ║ │
│║ a solid and dense metal record wasnÆt a very ║ │
│║ easy thing since the band had to deal with some ║ │
│║ line-up changes. With Magnus Mild (g) and ║ │
│║ Fredrik Werner (v) two new band members had to ║ │
│║ be integrated, an undertaking that obviously ║ │
│║ went very well. It almost looks like these guys ║ │
│║ added a fresh new breeze of metal which grows to ║ │
│║ a metal storm with each of the nine songs. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album doesnÆt include any downer or failure. ║ │
│║ If you call Saxon (ôöHell and Backö, the early ║ │
│║ Pretty Maids (ôEntering the Zone Zeroö, ôHell ║ │
│║ and Backö) and melodic metal (ôCold As Iceö) to ║ │
│║ your favorites in metal you should check out ║ │
│║ this album. And in case youÆre familiar with Air ║ │
│║ RaidÆs earlier discs you will fall in love with ║ │
│║ this one too. Oldschool metal with power and ║ │
│║ glory.s ║ │
