Air Raid

Formed in 2009, Sweden's Air Raid carries on the tradition of no-frills, mainstream 80's metal on their most recent album as of this writing, 2017's Across The Line. With song titles like "Cold As Ice" and "Hell And Back", there are few surprises here, the band churning out riffs in workmanlike fashion with no regard for innovation or modern influences, yet the old adage "heavy metal will never die" is well supported by bands like Air Raid. Content with keeping the flame alive, these guys know their audience and those into traditional Euro metal will find no fault here.
