Ride With Death: Speedwolf’s Modern Speed Metal Classic (HELLS LP 069)
Today’s entry hits the gas with a modern classic of the speed metal underground. We are looking at the 2011 debut album Ride With Death by the Denver-based band Speedwolf, released on the Hells Headbangers label with the catalog number HELLS LP 069.
Released in October 2011, this album became an instant favorite among fans of high-octane rock and roll. Speedwolf mastered a ferocious blend of New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) riffs and the raw aggression of hardcore punk, heavily worshipping at the altar of Motörhead. The sound is dirty, fast, and unrelenting, capturing the essence of denim-and-leather biker culture.
The tracklist is a non-stop barrage of adrenaline. From the self-titled opener Speedwolf to the anthemic Up All Night and the furious I Can’t Die, the energy never lets up. The album closes with the local tribute Denver 666, cementing their status as legends of the Colorado metal scene. Vocalist Reed Bruemmer’s gravelly delivery fits the music perfectly, driving home the themes of speed, night life, and rebellion.
HELLS LP 069 is a fantastic package for vinyl collectors. Housed in a gatefold sleeve, this release originally came with a poster, adding to the classic heavy metal aesthetic. Ride With Death stands as a definitive document of the 2010s speed metal revival, delivering a sound that is timelessly loud and fast.
