Running Death is a German speed and thrash metal band from Kaufbeuren in Bavaria that was founded in 2004.
history
The band was founded in 2004 by guitarist and singer Simon Bihlmayer. The line-up was supplemented by the drummer Jakob Weikmann and the bass player Max Bauer. The group was only sporadically active until 2008, before becoming more serious in 2009. During this time, only a four-song demo was recorded but never released. In 2010 a first EP was released with Raging Nightmare , which was followed by another under the name The Call of Extinction in 2012 . In 2015, the debut album Overdrive followed via Punishment 18 Records . In the same year the group performed together with Amorphis in Memmingen .
style
In an interview with Nikos Nakos from metalinvader.net , Jakob Weikmann named Megadeth , Annihilator , Rage and Testament as influences for the band. For him personally, Pantera , especially Vinnie Paul's drumming , is a big influence. When writing the songs, Bihlmayer usually comes up with an idea or a riff , which is then worked out with the other members, including by jamming . On the album the band managed without overproduction, trigger and click tracks . Joxe Schaefer from crossfire-metal.de wrote in his review of the album that you can hear Thrash Metal with English , even if flat-sounding lyrics, whereby the group orientates itself on the classical way of playing. The band makes use of leads and solos . Kerbinator from monkeycastle.de stated in his review a mixture of technical Thrash Metal and Speed Metal. They use both the German thrash metal scene ( Sodom ) and the US scene (Megadeth, Overkill ). The "partly choppy guitar runs" also give the music a progressive character.
