AIRFORCE – Strike Hard (2020)
AIRFORCE stem originally from the NWOBHM era back in the 80s with the band’s style best described as Old-School Metal full of hooks, riffs and melodies. The band was originally formed in 1986 by Tony Hatton (bass), Chop Pitman (guitars) and legendary drummer Doug Sampson (ex- Iron Maiden).
The AIRFORCE line-up now includes the extremely talented vocalist Flavio Lino who recently joined the band on a permanent basis, and together they recorded “Strike Hard”, which features guest appearances from Paul Di’ Anno (ex- Iron Maiden vocalist) and former AIRFORCE vocalist Ivan Giannini (now of Vision Divine).
“Strike Hard” is pure 1981 classic metal / hard rock, same vibe, same sound, and quite terrific written songs for fans delight.
