IRON JAWS louder is not enough MBR002

Pure Speed Metal Assault: Iron Jaws’ ‘Louder Is Not Enough’ (MBR002)

Today’s entry features a high-octane debut from the modern underground speed metal scene. We are looking at the 2010 vinyl release of Louder Is Not Enough by Iron Jaws, released on the German label Metalbound Records with the catalog number MBR002.

Old School Worship

Released in 2010, this album is a love letter to the glory days of 80s speed metal. Iron Jaws (hailing from Italy) embraces the aesthetic of leather, spikes, and pure volume. The production is intentionally raw and aggressive, avoiding modern polish in favor of a sound that captures the spirit of bands like Razor, early Running Wild, and Abattoir. It is a straight-forward assault of heavy riffs and screaming vocals designed for the true metal purist.

The Music

The track titles alone announce the band’s intentions. Side A opens with the manifesto Flames, Sparks, Metal and continues with the aggressive Predator and War. Side B delivers the fast-paced anthem Fast And Loud and the self-titled track Iron Jaws. The album concludes with a fitting tribute to their influences: a cover of Violence And Force by the Canadian speed metal legends Exciter.
