KERRIGAN Heavy Metal 2020

Popis:

Kerrigan are currently hailed as one of the most promising newcomers from Germany playing traditional heavy metal. The band was formed in Freiburg in 2019 by Bruno S. (guitars, bass) and Jonas W. (vocals, guitars). In 2023, High Roller Records issued Kerrigan's full-length debut album entitled "Bloodmoon". It was a huge success and even appeared in some "best album of the year" lists in various magazines. Due to public demand, the band's first mini-album "Heavy Metal 2020" is now being re-issued on High Roller. In 2020, the duo of Bruno S. and Jonas W. had recorded a demo tape consisting of original compositions "Intruders", "Force And Will" and "Heavy Metal 2020" as well as a cover version of "Rest In Peace" by Wolf (UK). The four tracks were later released by Fucking Kill Records on tape and vinyl. Jonas explains how Kerrigan came into being in the first place: "When we jammed on some traditional heavy metal riffs during a rehearsal with our funeral doom band Lone Wanderer, we quickly recognized how much fun we were heaving playing this kind of music. The potential was huge. We met again for another session in our rehearsal room and in no time the song 'Intruders' was more or less finished." Bruno continues the story: "It all felt pretty natural, playing these uplifting classic heavy metal numbers in between our more doomy material. We just experimented with the first few riffs we wrote for Kerrigan and it was apparent we wanted to record a little demo containing the new material. So the beginnings of the band were really spontaneous, of course inspired by the multitude of metal bands we were listening to back at the time (mainly NWOBHM, and classic heavy metal in general). Chris of Fucking Kill Records gave us some great support and put out "Heavy Metal 2020". The demo represents where the band was at in spring 2020." We will definitely hear more from Kerrigan in the near future. But for now it's time to re-visit the band's first musical steps in the form of "Heavy Metal 2020". Sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy!
