Wardress were originally formed in Nn in 1983 and have been dedicated to 80s NWOBHM ever since, butfailed to cement their status with an album release in their early years. It took a quasi-re-formation in 2018 whenguitarist Gor and vocalist Erich decided to finally put some recovered original song material from the band's earlydays on record. So in 2019 they finally released their debut "Dress For War" (2019) on which old songs as well ascurrent material were immortalised.The band used the time of the pandemic measures to work on their second album "Metal Til The End", on which theband remains stylistically true to their roots and at the same time makes the album title the programme! Sawing riffswith 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 liveblike atmosphere."Metal 'Til the End" seems to breathe, sweat and bleed. Heavy metal in its purest form, original and yet simplytimeless!
