IRON ALLIES (Accept members) – Blood In Blood Out (2022)
“Blood In Blood Out” is the upcoming debut album from super-group IRON ALLIES, consisting of former ACCEPT members Herman Frank & David Reece, VICTORY members Malte Burkert & Mike Pesin, and former JORN, HARDLINE, U.D.O. drummer Francesco Jovino. Especially Herman Frank & David Reece are the classic combination of songwriting guitarist and first-rate lyricist singer, a join-venture that, more than once, has caused a stir in music history.
However, ”Blood In Blood Out” cannot be compared to anything David or Frank have produced in the past. It’s a heavy collection of tracks, melodic, riff-driven, but I never heard both musicians composing so ‘anthemic’ songs like on this album. There’s a lot of groove as well, a crisp modern production, and a super mix by Dennis Ward.
Opener ‘Full Of Surprises’ is huge sounding and gives the impression of David Coverdale jamming with Judas Priest…
