The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult German Heavy/Thrash/Speed Metal band.
Risk is one of the rare cases of a Classic Metal band finding successful new life with a change of identity and style. Known since 1967 as Faithful Breath, they released six full-length albums until 1985, evolving from Hard Rock roots to a heavier style more typical of their dayafter. Faithful Breath were no strangers in undertaking dramatic aesthetic transformations, starting from a male-fronted Renaissance-like Prog Rock band in the mid-70s to a Scorpions-esque and later Accept-ish Hard Rock/Heavy Metal outfit throughout the 80s. After an almost two-decade long career, they decided to rename after changing their style from plain Heavy Metal to Thrashy Speed Metal in 1986. Risk was only the logical continuation of that Metal-morphosis, already hinted in Faithful Breath's last song of their last album, 1986's "Skol" title-track, their peak in Metalness to that point.
Featuring singer, vocalist and producer Heimi Mikus, who produced (besides all Risk albums) Morgoth, Despair and Raven albums, and guitar player Romme Keymer (ex- Angel Dust), Risk existed to 1993. They are well known by the singular artwork in the first four albums, which contain cartoons of savage animals made by Sebastian Krüger (Destruction, Tankard, Running Wild , Sodom).
"The Daily Horror News" is a work of memorable velocity and impressive songwriting which immediately placed the band among peers like Rage, Scanner, Helloween and Running Wild. It's primarily Speed/Power Metal, but there are moments where they bite down a little harder for some Thrash Metal. The band's Classic Metal riffing influence obviously goes a long way towards making each track distinct and full to the brim with hooks, and the vocals of Heinz Mikus, which sound like a mix of Rock'n'Rolf Kasparek and the silky, grimier tones often adopted by Andi Deris through his work with Helloween.
"The Daily Horror News" is a rare gem in the Heavy Metal history, recommended for fans of Agent Steel, Toxik, Rage, Accept, Angel Dust and Running Wild.
