| Description | The reservoir of new Swedish Metal bands seems to be just endless. Hot on the trails of High Roller recording artists Dead Lord, Humbucker and Heavy Tiger there is Ambush. Oskar Jacobsson (vocals), Olof Engkvist (guitars), Adam Hagelin (guitars), Ludwig Sjöholm (bass) and Linus Fritzson (drums) have all played in other bands before Ambush. "We were a close gang of friends so it felt natural to play together when the opportunity presented itself," remarks drummer Linus. In August 2013, Ambush issued their first demo tape (forming the basis for their deal with High Roller Records). The band''s first 7" single "Natural born Killers" (with Heading East" on the B-Side), was released earlier this year on High Roller. Both tracks are also to be found on the "Firestorm" debut album (along with seven brand new compositions). "The two tracks from the single sum up the feel and the sound of our first album very well indeed. We think it''s a very strong effort and these two particular songs give you a great idea of what Ambush are all about," reckons Linus. Stylistically, Ambush are not miles away from current Swedish bands like RAM and Enforcer but they''re far from being mere copycats as Linus explains: "They are both great bands with similarities to our music but we try to keep our style and sound as pure and unique as possible. We play our heavy metal hard, raw, melodic and with a touch of evil. The primary influence comes from early 1980''s heavy metal (and of course there are no synthesizers)." So you better watch out: Ambush may well be the next big thing from Sweden! |
