Turbokill – Vice world

Turbokill are a new band from Germany formed by Stephan Dietrich, former vocalist with Alpha Tiger. The band released their dfebut EP last year and after signing to Steamhammer/SPV they’ve now got their debut album out. It’s an album which draws on classic heavy metal for it’s sound.

the album opens with “The grand delusion”. The guitar part that opens the song certainly reminds me of Helloween, and that’s an influence that shows at several point in the album. The other influence that comes to the fore is Judas Priest. There’s also some Power metal influence and maybe some Saxon, but Helloween and Judas priest are the two most obvious influences – and what a great pair of bands to be influenced by!

Check out “End of days”…

ok the band’s influences are plain to see but that doesn’t stop it being a great album. Nice guitar work and some great vocals coupled with strong catchy tunes make this a very good album and one I’ve listened to a lot over the last couple of weeks.

Well worth a listen.
