Release Date: March 17, 2023,Wardress were originally formed in Nürtingen in 1983 and have been dedicated to 80s NWOBHM ever since, but failed to cement their status with an album release in their early years.
It took a quasi-re-formation in 2018 when guitarist Gor and vocalist Erich decided to finally put some recovered original song material from the band's early days on record. So in 2019 they finally released their debut "Dress For War" (2019) on which old songs as well as current material were immortalised.
The band used the time of the pandemic measures to work on their second album "Metal Til The End", on which the band remains stylistically true to their roots and at the same time makes the album title the programme! Sawing riffs with surprising breaks and anthemic melodies alternating with exploding solos, complemented by bitingly ironic lyrics. Production and mix, for which Rolf Munkes is responsible in the Empire Studio in Bensheim, provides a dynamic live-like atmosphere.
Hailing from Germany, WARDRESS was founded in 1983 by guitarist Alex Gor and vocalist Erich Eysn when they begin to write several songs and recorded some demos. However, for personal reasons, the whole project was put on hold in 1985.
Fast forward 2018, Alex recovered the old demo tape and decided to go to a studio with Erich and finally record these long-lost 80s metal tracks. WARDRESS stand for genuine old-school melodic metal in the style and spirit of Judas Priest, Dio / Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Accept, et all.
The band used the time of the pandemic measures to work on their second album ”Metal ‘Til The End’‘, on which WARDRESS remains stylistically true to their roots: razor riffs with surprising breaks and anthemic melodies alternating with exploding solos, complemented by bitingly ironic lyrics.
To be released next week, ”Metal ‘Til The End” rock with that ’80s feeling. Production and mix, for which expert Rolf Munkes is responsible at his Empire Studio in Bensheim, provides a crunchy, polished clean dynamic live-like atmosphere. Trad metal in its purest form, simply timeless…
