Self Release
2011
Hailing from Storvik, Gävleborgs län, Sverige (Sweden) is the two piece band Rocka Rollas. While I am going to go out on a limb and say they took their name from the Judas Priest album the band has more of a (early) Running Wild worship sound going on. The promo is available free for download from what I've read (just do a Google search for Rocka Rollas Promo 2011) and will appeal to fan's of Running Wild, Helloween and the such. There is a real charm to be found on the EP and apparently the group is working on a full length release. My favorite track was "Metal Of Steel" with it's old school feel. I found myself singing "I've got metal...metal of steel" over and over. This is just fun throw back power/speed metal. Looking forward to their full length. It will be interesting to see if the two members add on to make it a real band or if this will be a studio only affair. Either way I've got "Metal Of Steel"!

Thanks for the great review...
ReplyDeleteHowever the chorus in Metal Of Steel acttually goes "I am metal of steel" but thats no big deal ;)
The full length is probably finished recorded in about a month or two max. But the actual release will probably take some more time.
Plus there's THREE additional albums ready to be recorded right now... And I have begun writing the fucking fourth album right now...
My bad! Make sure to send us a copy of your new album for review.
ReplyDeleteI sure will!!
