RAPID ASSAULT Marching To War CD (2021)

Australian heavy metal doesn't apologise for itself, and Rapid Assault are not about to start now. Marching To War is the kind of record that could only come from a scene that's been quietly doing the work while everyone else looked elsewhere.

This is traditional heavy metal with the lineage written right into the grooves, twin guitar leads, locked-in rhythms, and vocals that mean business. You can hear the influence of the genre's architects, but this isn't imitation, it's a band that actually understands why those records mattered and has something to add to the conversation. The sort of full-length that earns its place in a proper collection alongside the classics.

Full length album on CD, 2021 release. Australian heavy metal.
