Background information über 'Dawn For The Living (Re-Issue)'

This re-issue of Grinder's classic speed metal assault "Dawn For The Living" brings back one of the most ferocious albums from the late 80s underground scene. The German speed metal veterans unleashed this beast in 1988, and it still sounds as crushing today as it did back then. From the opening riff of "Obsession" to the final notes of "F.O.A.D.", this album is a relentless barrage of razor-sharp guitar work, thunderous drumming, and vocals that cut through the mix like a chainsaw through bone. The title track "Dawn For The Living" stands as a testament to the band's ability to blend technical prowess with raw aggression, while tracks like "Sinners Exile" and "Frenzied Hatred" showcase their knack for memorable hooks wrapped in sonic brutality.

What makes this album particularly special is how Grinder managed to capture that perfect balance between speed and heaviness that defined the best of 80s metal. The production maintains that authentic underground feel while ensuring every instrument cuts through clearly. Songs like "Magician" and "Dying Flesh" demonstrate the band's compositional maturity, building tension before exploding into devastating speed metal fury. The album flows seamlessly from track to track, creating an experience that demands to be heard from start to finish.

For fans of: Kreator, Destruction, Sodom, Razor, and early Slayer
