Mortal Strike formed in Autumn 2009 in the great city of Vienna,Austria. The 5 boys with the different countries of origin only had one goal: To make the music that they all loved.
Within a short time they started making a name for themselves in the Vienna Metalscene, as an innovative and highly live-fit combo. Their style has many influences of the oldschool thrash bands Sodom and Kreator, and even fast speed influences of bands like Stormwarrior.
But also old school heavy metal influences occasionally find their way into the music of Mortal Strike. This is particularly easy to spot in their Anthem to the Heavy Metal scene “Es geht Rund”. Aggressive and spot on since the beginning, even the austrian police couldn’t change anything about that when they stopped one of the bands first live shows because of the loudness.
The first album from Austrian thrashers Mortal Strike, “For the Loud and the Aggressive,” give us a great Thrash Metal enjoyable elements while show a big love for the old-school In my opinion their sound is full of energy and grooves. The band combines elements from both the Old School Thrash and the new wave sound. I can say that the band has a lot of grooves in its sound and when they become more aggressive they definitely flirt with Speed Metal sometimes . But that is not all, since there are times that Mortal Strike shall move to Brutal Thrash Metal fields, without ever losing their energy,The rhythm section is solid as it should be in a Thrash metal release with plenty of blast beats and it is accompanied by some very good guttural vocals. The songs are tight and ideal for head banging, so I think that the fans should make sure they check For the Loud and the Aggressive Album
