Album:

Elm Street's new album "Knock 'Em Out...With A Metal Fist" is coming June 25th via Massacre Records and features some truly amazing artwork by Ken Kelly.The album was recorded, mixed & mastered by Ermin Hamidovic at Systematic Productions. Elm Street's Ben Batres comments:"We have had the privilege of working with some of the world's best and Ken Kelly is right at the top of the list when it comes to art. It is very surreal that the band now joins a client list that includes KISS, Manowar, Rainbow and Ace Frehley."The concept of overcoming adversity is a theme that runs throughout the whole album. Not just in one aspect of life but in many that we have gone through ourselves and I'm sure that many will relate to."Ken created a piece which visually relates to each song from the new album and at the same time reflects the style you expect to hear when you see an album cover like this. Merging both the art and sound will hopefully deliver a classic album to both old and new fans."

Album:

After a demanding multi-year tour that took the band's heavy metal power to Europe, Canada and the U.S., Australians ELM STREET finally return with their third album, "The Great Tribulation.""The Great Tribulation" is a soundtrack for troubled times or like a charred mirror reflecting the state of the world today. But it also comments on the darker side of life, coupled with the band's most sophisticated and heavy music to date.One must attest to the more than respectable development of these Australians. Although the quartet's brew already sounded quite good on their debut "Barbed Wire Metal", the band still helped themselves a little too obviously to various classics of traditional heavy metal.Twelve years later, the four-piece from Melbourne is not only much more mature, but also seems to have found its own niche. It's quite conceivable that the numerous concerts and tours ELM STREET has been allowed to do, but also the response to their second album "Knock 'Em Out - With A Metal Fist", which was definitely more than just acceptable, but still very clichéd, has given them food for thought and motivated them. In both a positive and negative sense, one can assume. After all, it seems as if the band around the singing guitarist Ben Batres tried to avoid all clichés as much as possible for "The Great Tribulation", without straying too far from their own past.Congratulations! Because there is no question of a so-called "reinvention" of the band. The guys still focus on hard-hitting heavy metal and release songs that contain elements of fast but melodic power metal as well as hymn-like passages and heavy thrash riffs. You can hear it in 'The Price Of War', a song that could have been written by Jon Schaffer. The guys seem to be aware of their competence by now. After all, it takes not only skill but also plenty of self-confidence to choose a varied, precisely structured, yet catchy monumental epic of over 11 minutes playing time as the opener.But not only for this track, titled 'Seven Sirens', the four-piece need not shy away from comparisons. In general, ELM STREET should succeed in taking a big step forward with this album! After all, it doesn't matter whether the sledgehammer is unpacked, like in the comparatively punky "Shortie" 'Take The Night', which follows the opener, or whether it's epic and carried out again towards the end, like in 'A State Of Fear', which is reminiscent of the British INTENSE: these guys have the knack and know how to draw attention to themselves through varied playing.All in all, "The Great Tribulation" can be described as a surprisingly successful work that also wants to be discovered by you!
