ADX - LA TERREUR
LE MAJESTIC DU SPEED METAL.
The French metal scene was truly amazing in the early eighties, maybe not that known outside the France borders but damn they had some great bands back then. Bands like Sortilége, H-Bomb, Trust, Satan Jokers, Demon Eyes and Blasphème all sung in the native french tongue and ADX keeps up that good 'ol tradition going. The difference is that ADX plays it a little faster than all those bands. Their debut was an excellent speed metal album and this follow-up continues in that tradition.
"La Terreur" (translated into "The Terror") is more mature than it's predecessor, it's also more grand and majestic in it's sound and approach. It's quite varied but it lacks a bit of that early wild 'n loose approach that ADX brought to the table. Sometimes ADX sounds a bit like Iron Maiden around Killers but played a little faster and with another type of vocalist. The production is however an improvement on the debut, which is a good thing. If you like speed metal like Agent Steel, Exciter, Helstar, Liege Lord, Savage Grace, Abattoir and such you need to get your hands on some ADX because they deserve to be mentioned amongst the best of what the speed metal genre ahs to offer. "La Terreur" is an excellent speed metal album but less raging than the debut so it gets four solid axes out of five.
