Mortal Strike

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. Their demo "Here comes the Tank" came out on 16th of April 2011, recorded in the rehearsal room and made by good old fashioned manual labour, mixed and mastered by the band itself. It then came as it had to: known for the energetic live performances, the next big concerts followed, for example as Headliner on the "Napalm Only" show, opening act for "Malevolent Creation" and the "Bömbers". Always with superb fansupport! Ultimately they won the W:O:A Metal Battle Austria and the 5 guys (Themselves being year-long Wacken veterans) had their chance to play on the biggest metal festival in the world and to impress the international Metal world which has helped in shaping the Band. And it doesn't stop! The tank keeps rolling! 2012 will be a new chapter full of work after a brief concert break that was used for rehearsing and composing new songs. Slowly the Striker will make the preparations for recording their first full length album! There are enough situations in the world that will be used as Inspiration, themes and energy to fuel the neon green tank! on that note: we are not silent we are not daunted and we are not joking we are here for you we support you and we lent you our voice for you are our sixth member, our strength - our crowd In times of need, we shall raise the banner for the chosen few for the finest !!!!!!!!!!
