Angry NWOBHM guitars. Arrogant leads. A singer that’s more punk than metal. Earworm riffs. Lyrics out of the notebook of a schizophrenic religious zealot. Relentless drum barrage. 29 minutes of steel fists pulverizing your face. A vinyl collecting, tape trading, guitar shredding heavy metal kid can grow up, learn to do other things and leave the fast guitar riffs and apocalyptic metal visions of his teenage years behind. But the fast guitar riffs and apocalyptic metal visions can NEVER really leave the kid.
This is the story of Rotör’s riffmeister JVH, who found himself recording a pile of early 80’s NWOBHM inspired music in the early 2010’s. He just couldn’t help himself, once that floodgate of nasty heavy metal was re-opened, the riffs just came pouring out. The old beast woken up from years of slumber, thirsty for blood. JVH recruited four other three-letter-names to work on the songs and Rotör became it’s own kind of a metal monster, proudly standing on it’s 10 steel legs.
Rotör may include bits of Speedtrap, Hard Action, Vino Siitin, Tremor, Arkhamin Kirjasto, Seremonia or Steel Mammoth.
