The Swedish metal band We Want War reported back after „Frontline” with their third album „Erratic”. With Tinnitus Records, the band has a new label from the United States of America, also promptly found a new partner. There they are too proud of the deal, after all, the album ultimately also anything but simply knitted music with three chords.

Beautiful metalcore on a high level. In the meantime, there is already a new album but I would like to go back to the predecessor. A production that is at least as good and in no way inferior to the successor. Also „Erratic” convinced already by its strong and quite hard playing, great guitar riffs and a brutal Schlagzueg. In contrast to the predecessor „Frontline” they have doubled the speed in places on this work and equipped with more force, songs like „Hollow World” or „Eighty Eight” are real hammer titles and shred the stereo. But also with calm tones the Swedish 1-man metal band convinces. The 20th Anniversary version of „Nordic Myth” is a wonderful example of this, the former metal number is available on this album as a new interpretation that starts quietly and picks up more and more speed. I really like that. Likewise, it continues with „I Am Made Of”, a song that also marches positively into the light on this album. Here the signs are in the style of Nu Metal, hard riffs, a lot of melody and rocking solos and classic Nu Metal elements. In addition, there are the extensive vocals of PJ, the head of We Want War. „Erratic” is a varied and hard album that will inspire with quality and skill.

Tinnitus Records has produced the album and made a real effort. The presentation is really professional and high quality, you could easily put „Erratic” in a music store and sell it. It wouldn’t stand out next to all the other metal. The album is technically clean and high quality produced, a strong sound that is really fun and will convince metalheads of all directions. Who hasn’t heard „Erratic” yet, has missed something!

It is undeniable, Ken McLellan with Brutal Attack has been an unmistakable and important voice of the international right-wing rock scene for a very long time and the longest serving, still active band of the RAC. Over forty years to be exact, almost half a century. That’s something another political rock band has to imitate first. In all these years, a large number of songs have been written and well over twenty albums have been released. That after all these years still no fatigue has taken hold with the Altherrenrunde, is already a remarkable and distinguishes the musical creative power of the music.

With the „Tales of Glory (Final Edition)” now reaches us a successful reissue of the ’89 cult disc from the house Midgård Records. There they have once again, in time-honored tradition, taken great pains to knock the dust off the classic. The material on the album was digitally reworked and thus upgraded, this gives the work a beautiful (new) soundscape and once again proves that the works of Brutal Attack are simply timeless. Also, with this reissue, „Tales of Glory” has now been released for the first time in its intended form. This means that the album was supplemented by the two songs that were unceremoniously deleted at the time and were recycled for the „Gods of War Vol. 3” sampler, among others. „Tales of Glory” is undoubtedly one of the great works of the early phase, really snappy and melodic right-wing rock that has outlasted its time and even today can easily compete with the new crowd-pleasers. Ken McLellan yes already in his early days proved that the textual material under the Brutal Attack banner would be nothing of second-rate nature. This is also proven here, songs like „While the flame burns”, „Fight back for Europe” or the title song „Tales of Glory”, here one successful number follows the next. Besides the rock songs, the album also offers us a successful ballad, the song „Ocean of warriors”.

The „Tales of Glory” album in its final edition is a worthy re-release and easily puts the other, partly more than snotty repressings in the bag. Not only that the sound was reworked and the material was upgraded, also the production itself is successful. A more than special and successful share contributes the presentation. The design is more than successful and should go through as one, if not the strongest cover design at Brutal Attack. Besides some personal words of Ken, the inclined listener will find all the lyrics in the booklet. Midgård Records knows his craft, this proves the Swedish cult label again with this production. Well then, all complete lists and collectors will certainly put the part on the shelf, just because of the fact that this is digitally reworked material and the sound has been audibly improved. You young hoppers out there, pull the material purely, this here, this is still original RAC, honest and unadulterated!
