Debut album by Scanner. What we have is a work of totally focused inspiration, the sound is completely unique and instantly recognizable. The music in here is traditional eighties power metal with all the essential ingredients present. Hypertrace is in fact a concept album, though the sequence of songs on the album is not the sequence of the narrative. A classic power metal album.

Risk - The Daily Horror News

Genre: Speed/Thrash
Country: Germany
Year: 1988


1. Living In Chaos
2. Roadwar
3. DNS Madness
4. Revolution Now
5. Alien Terror
6. Speed Kills
7. Rommes Fritz
8. Strike

Debut album by Risk. It is a mega feasting of non-stop headbanging, thrashing mayhem with a belly full of solos and choruses. They are rooted a bit more in the speed category as they use slightly more melody than the average thrash band. The mix here simply slays, still sounding fresh and bright over 20 years later and the individual performances here are all noteworthy.
