小简介

这是一支老牌德国Thrash Metal乐队,它的历史比SODOM还长远。成立于1980年的HOLY MOSES曾于1992年解散,但两年后由于著名贝司手Dan Lilker(NUCLEAR ASSAULT和BRUTAL TRUTH)的促成,乐队发行了这张本不该出现的专辑。虽然有Lilker的加盟,但乐队的核心人物仍然是Andy Classen(主唱/吉他)和Sven Herwig(鼓手),所有的词曲几乎都出自这二位。而Andy Classen的妹妹(!!!)Sabina Classen在专辑中也负责了一部分歌词和第二主唱的工作,她的嗓音一点也听不出来是女声,简直太酷了。而这三个人更包办了专辑的制作、混音、封面和排版等各项工作,著名的Dan Lilker反倒成了个摆设,他除了弹一些贝司外,主要工作就是把这支解散的德国乐队重新组织起来,因为这的确是一支不该消失的乐队。说到专辑的音乐,很巧的是HOLY MOSES在这张专辑中除了Thrash Metal外,还夹杂了Hardcore和Grindcore的元素,这使得专辑的风格恰好介于NUCLEAR ASSAULT和BRUTAL TRUTH之间(或许这就是Dan Lilker加入这支乐队原因吧)。专辑有的部分酷似80年代早期那些由Hardcore向Thrash过渡的乐队,如D.R.I.、AGNOSTIC FRONT、C.O.C.等,充满了混乱和短促的节奏;有的部分又很接近80年代末期的Grindcore乐队,如TERRORIZER、NAPALM DEATH等,同样具有快速厚重的吉他噪音和双主唱的嘶吼。

Primarily a vehicle for Sabina Classen -- one of the rare female vocalist to challenge the boys' club that was '80s thrash metal -- Holy Moses burst into the international metal arena in 1986 with their Queen of Siam debut -- but, although the group has rarely gone away since (breaking up for a few years in the mid-'90s), it has never ascended above cult status. Holy Moses were originally founded in 1980, in Aachen, Germany, by singer Jochen Fünders and bassist Ramon Brüssler, and it wasn't until the following year that Sabina Hirtz and her future husband, guitarist Andy Classen, joined the fold. The fledgling metal band would spend the next five years working on its repertoire, playing local gigs, and recording occasional demos with a variety of different drummers -- finally hooking up with Herbert Dreger before recording the aforementioned Queen of Siam. This proved to be an extremely raw and uncompromising slab of metal-thrashing madness; musically indebted to bands like Slayer, Kreator, and Destruction, but primarily distinguished by Sabina's gargling-broken-glass vocals. A similarly voracious second album, Finished with the Dogs, followed the very next year and introduced new drummer Uli Kusch (future Helloween), but both it and its 1989 successor, The New Machine of Liechtenstein, added few refinements to Holy Moses' extremely inaccessible formula.

Still, aggressive touring all over Europe and even into East Germany had slowly expanded the band's fan base and enhanced its commercial profile so that, by decade's end, Holy Moses had done everything from performing at the Dynamo Open Air Festival to making a cameo in a major German TV soap called Ein Fall für Zwei. The fetching Sabina had even gone one step further, landing a regular side gig hosting a heavy metal show called Mosh for RTL TV. Unfortunately, all of these distractions couldn't help but detract from Holy Moses' recording career, which endured another handful of nondescript releases (including 1990's World Chaos, 1991's Terminal Terror, 1992's Reborn Dogs, and 1994's posthumous No Matter... What's the Cause) before ultimately grinding to a halt when Sabina and Andy Classen divorced. Sabina busied herself with other pursuits, but would eventually re-form Holy Moses with an entirely new lineup in late 2000, proceeding to record 2001's Master of Disaster EP, 2002's Disorder of Order LP, and 2005's Strength Power Will Passion LP.
