Today, SPEEDTRAP
premiere the first track off their forthcoming SVART RECORDS debut on
heavily trafficked web-portals BrooklynVegan.com and
InvisibleOranges.com. Entitled "Powerdose," the song is the title track to SPEEDTRAP's debut album, set for international release on August 23rd through SVART on both CD and LP formats. SPEEDTRAP's "Powerdose" can be heard in its entirety here www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2013/07/speedtrap_ready.html#more and www.invisibleoranges.com/2013/07/stream-speedtrap-powerdose.
After many slow-ups and
hardships, Finland’s SPEEDTRAP (founded in Lappeenranta, 2007) are
finally back and ready to let it loose! Three years have passed
since their previous release, a split album with Helsinki-based heavy
metal punks Death with a Dagger, but the reckless heavy metal rockers
have been busy boosting up their hyper-energetic act to a whole new
level.
Those already familiar with SPEEDTRAP know what to expect: the aptly named debut full-length album Powerdose
is a Motörheadcrash of speed metal, hardcore punk, rock ‘n’ roll, and
rapid-fire guitars that will bulldoze the feeble retro-revival scene
back into oblivion. With roots crawling in the most vigorous depths of the '80s, SPEEDTRAP
grabs the listener by the cojones with their
take-no-prisoners/no-holds-barred arrogance, bestial grooves, rockin’
riffs that force the head to tilt back and fort, and vicious vocal
delivery provided by Jori Sara-Aho, one of the most promising players in
the scene.
SPEEDTRAP is not here
to reinvent the wheel, but to stretch out the best parts of their
influences and mold it into exceptionally vivacious heavy metal rock
mammoth. The band has squeezed out all the unnecessary elements
out of their diamond-tight arrangements and kept the songs short to
ensure an overdose of genuine 110-proof rock energy. Zero extra + zero bullshit = pure rock ‘n’ roll powerdose!
To fully capture the
band's true sound and identity, the album has been recorded fully
analogue from beginning to end: no computers were used in the making of
this album. The result is a musical weapon of brutal delight that will take no prisoners. Warning: SPEEDTRAP is not for wimps
