New Jersey’s ATTACKER are back with a vengeance and they have retained that magnificent old-school US power metal sound they had in the early ’80s on its fifth full-length release, Giants Of Canaan. The band was a staple within the burgeoning power metal scene and helped build the foundation for the proto-speed metal sound. Born out of that classic Metal Blade Metal Massacre records era, in which Attacker appears on Vol. 1 and 5, the band’s sound is reminiscent of early FATES WARNING, RIOT, AGENT STEEL, HELSTAR, OMEN and JAG PANZER.
