ADRIAN:
"One Step Into the Uncertain" LP Rarity: |
|
Reach the Sun |
ADRIAN is a quite good german Heavy/Power Metal Band. Therefore it is surprising that the band couldn't find a label to put out their debut record. There were (and still are) for sure many weaker bands in germany at that time, which seem to got hold ouf a record-deal without any trouble. But ADRIAN was not disheartened due to this problems. They reflected the good german virtue of "do-it-yourself" and finanzed & released their first production on their own (comes with lyrics-sheet). On one track the vocalist Oliver Wende sings: "...you say you're gonna be a Rock'n'Roll hero / they just laugh at you and call you a dreamer / and that's what you are / but they don't know dreams can come true / if your believe is strong enough...!". Guess their own believe was not strong enough though, because after their pleasent debut nothing more was heard from ADRIAN (shitty name indeed). And this is not too surprising if an unknown band comes up with such a cover (Metalfan with gun running away from slavering monster-spider) and such a bandname on their debut. Also tracks as the embarrassing greasy ballad >Love Dies< did not really advise them for higher praises. Against this deficits stand some decent smashers as >Reach for the Sun<, >Never again< or the fast and raging >White Death<, that make the record still very rewarding ! |
