Bio:

The History of ATTACK starts in 1983 when Ricky Van Helden who worked as Drummer, Cello- or Flute-Player on different Productions decides to leave the Pop- and Progressive-Area of Music to make a new Start in the Metal-Sector. First influenced by Bands like Camel, Rush, Jethro Tull or Black Sabbath he changes to the Style of Iron Maiden, Dio or the later Ozzy Osborne. He also changes to Vocals and Bass Guitar to found a 3-Member Band in Hannover/ Germany with Guitar Player Peter Gastmann and Drummer Archie Köller, completed with a Sound Mixer named Friedl Hostermann. They all live together in a huge House called 'Stoneway No. 3', and soon there comes up the Idea to call this Band ATTACK. In End of 1983 Van Helden tries to enhance that Line-up. He talks the Keyboarder Thomas 'T.R.O.S.' St. Jones into leaving a manic Rehearsalroom-Band called V.I.P.Attack Aug 84 1In January 1984 T.R.O.S. produces the first Recordings for the Maxi 'Mouse in a Maze', but ATTACK splits up, just Van Helden, T.R.O.S. and Hostermann are left. Soon a new Drummer is found - and a new Guitar Player out of Auditions with a few Dozen ones: Andy Kammer. First Gigs are done in April, then ATTACK splits up again. Stoneway No. 3 gets vacated and becomes a Vine-Shop (well, what's the Difference?). Van Helden and T.R.O.S. take Guitar Player Helge Engelke (once also a Member of V.I.P.) to record a new Demo in May, again produced by T.R.O.S.Attack Nov 84 1In July Kammer joins ATTACK again for the T.R.O.S.-Production of the first LP 'Danger in the Air', then the Band searches for additional Members to promote the LP at Live-Gigs in December/ January. They decide for Walter Müller on Rhythm Guitar (one more Member of V.I.P.), Alex Kollmeyer on Drums and again Hostermann as Sound Mixer. The first Promotion Gig takes Place at the famous Leine-Domicil in Hannover, then it goes on through lots of Villages.

Album:

Attack's third album "Destinies of War" represented their highest point, both from creative and musical perspectives. Taking cues from Manowar, Judas Priest, Helloween and (mostly) Iron Maiden, the German metallers released a masterpiece, which regardless of being widely obsessed with fairy tales, seems to follow the Manowar spirit of playing on ten at some points. Nevertheless, due to the fact of not being released by Helloween, nor being part of the Keeper's saga, the album followed the luck of other releases in the German power metal scene: being criminally underrated.Similarly to other releases in the scene, Destinies offers a good rhythmical variety that moves towards different directions, and these Germans were definitely able to put their shit together. Starting in a quite epic fashion, the album kicks-in with the Helloween-esque speed metal number "Wonderland", which is an average Euro power metal number. Than, talking about Maiden-esque numbers, you have "The Battle's Lost" and "Death Riders". The first is an excellent well-done number which is seemingly inspired by Maiden's classic "The Trooper", while the second is a mind-blowing epic that could be easily ranked as one of the best numbers in the metal scene. During its nine minutes, the song practically repeats the structure of Maidens' lengthy epic "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" combined with the typical songwriting techniques from Helloween. The result is incredible. You have a really enjoyable piece that grows from an acoustic intro into impressively accelerated speed metal lines.Then the ballads "Blind Man" and the title-track are above average compositions. In great part, their success owes much to the Middle-Age atmosphere that decorates the album. Said atmosphere is somehow similar to what Paradox used as part of their sophomore effort released in the same year so as to provide an appropriate background for their tales dealing with the 13th century Catharism. Such an ingredient helped these songs sound different from the other ballads, since at the end, making ballads is not a quite difficult task, but making them sound special is not easy at all.Besides the atmosphere, the album offers interesting guitar work from Sossnierz and Riepert that would manage to provide enough riffs to each song, as well as incredible solos. And together with their front-man Ricky Van Helden, the band brought out a real masterpiece, and due to its quality, it comes to no surprise that it became an undefeatable piece that although hidden in the underground, remained throughout the years as a gem that few lucky listeners would be able to find out, but if you are one of those, then you are quite a lucky person.
