SPEED QUEEN – …With A Bang! (2025) *HQ*
Infamous metal commando SPEED QUEEN (not to be confused with the 1980s French band) have clearly spent a good amount of time cooking up their newest full-length album, to be released under the auspices of High Roller Records: “…With a Bang!” After almost five years, we’re promised a title that vows to deliver uncompromising speed, intensity, and an aggressive edge. Rapid tempos dance in candlelight with technical precision, hand in hand, draped in a veil of old-school heavy metal authenticity.
On “…With a Bang!” SPEED QUEEN welcomes a bigger, more “in-your-face” sound, where the ’80s NWoBHM energy permeates from every corner. They aimed to achieve this through the creative use of layered instrumentation, which also lends the album a more polished edge.
The record genuinely strives to live up to its potential, delivering punchy, catchy riffs from beginning to end.
