1945 - "From Hell" - Reviewed By Jenny Tate ! Check it out here at this link: https://jennytate.wordpress.com/2022/01/21/1945-heavy-metal-is-not-for-sale/

‘Heavy Metal Is Not For Sale’ is the on point title of 1945’s newly released single and video.

Based in Spain, the quintet comprising 1945 founded the band in spring 2016.

All coming from previous bands, including K-OS, Evil Rise and Sarah Evil, 1945 boast an energetic combo of metal sounds, with speed at the forefront.

‘Act 1’, their debut EP, launched back in 2018, to positive media acclaim.

Following a small Spanish and UK tour, the album, also entitled ‘Heavy Metal Is Not For Sale’ is also available now.

Heavy Metal Is Not For Sale – Cymbals intro, onto a burning hot riff. Classic speed metal, from the off. Drums sounding slightly tinny, but sustaining the pace well. Heavy, dark vocals. Traditional metallic melody. Fitting the lyrics neatly. Flying along, at a fiery pace. Well-balanced vocal sections. Slight action movie sound to it. Just a bit repetitive, structurally, tonally and lyrically. Burning through the atmosphere, though, right to the end. In itself, it’s a decent enough track, with the rhythm the central feature. A little bit derivative, in style and could do with some variation, in lyrical terms, as well as arrangement. Musically, very proficient and the passion’s definitely there. Just needs building up and the drum sounds, improving and growing. Still an enjoyable filler. Static visuals, of an armed tank, with slight central colour vibrations. So not much added to the sound.
