Inferno
Almost exactly 25 years ago 4 bored Punkrock-Teenagers from the small Bavarian City of Augsburg found the Hardcore-Punk group INFERNO. Their most important motivation: Being louder, faster and harder as the British Proto-Crust-Pioneers of “DISCHARGE”! 23 years ago INFERNO release their worlwide much appreciated and well-respected debut-album “Tod und Wahnsinn” (Death and Insanity), which has been re-released and bootlegged several dozen times until today and has been spread all over the planet, especially in the USA, Japan, Brazil… but also in (former Socialist) Yugoslavia, in Australia or Malaysia.
In the mid-80s INFERNO are a worldwide well known (the most known) Hardcore Band from Germany…even though most lyrics are sung in German. The group tours all over Europe, as an active cell of the continental Hardcore-network, a network which reaches from the Basque Country up to Helsinki, from Amsterdam to Athens, from Bristol to Belgrade.
21 years ago big Thrash- and Speedmetal-Acts such as Hirax, Slayer, Anthrax or S.O.D name INFERNO as one of their biggest influences in several interviews and features. S.O.D even cover the tune “Ram It Up” while recording their first album. (compilation “From The Megavault” / Metalblade)
Scott Ian: “INFERNO were the hardest, fastest, most brutal hardcore band of their time and were a direct influence…”
