Risk - Discography (1988-1993)
Risk was a German thrash metal band from Witten. The group published from 1988 to 1993 a total of five albums and one MCD.
Risk grew out of the progressive rock band Faithful Breath. The last active line-up at Heinz Mikus (vocals), Thilo Hermann (guitar), Peter Dell (bass) and Jürgen Düsterloh (drums) and adapted its name to the popular mid-1980s thrash metal style. [1] Thilo Hermann, who was also still active with Holy Moses, played with the group a demo. The band got a record deal with the SPV label. The debut album The Daily Horror News ... (... from the lost side of the world) was published in 1988 with Roman Keymer (ex-Angel Dust) as a guitarist. Singer Heinz Mikus played a second guitar. To the reputation of the group, the cover of this and the following albums contributed, which were drawn by Sebastian Krüger in comic style. [1]
1988, the group toured with Sabbath and Rage on tour in Germany and 1989 in the opening act of Manowar through Europe. Meanwhile Thilo Herrmann returned to the group. 1989 also appeared the album Hell's Animal, which sells about 15,000 times, and the Ratman EP. [1] developed in 1990 by Dirty Surfaces with 25,000 copies sold, the biggest success of the group. Risk occurs in Prague together with Running Wild before about 25,000 fans. [1] For Thilo Hermann Christian Sumser a rose.
After that, the group loses its status slowly. The album Reborn (1992) marked a departure from the fun image of the band represents the group had always understood differently, as have the cover of the Kruger transported. Reborn had a rather serious cover by Andreas Marschall. Musically, the group is breaking new ground. The concept album about the ancient Indian god Ravana is lined with sitar sounds and more oriented towards the power metal. [2] The subsequent tour with Gamma Ray runs moderately successful. Roman Keymer suffered on a Rage Against the Machine concert sudden hearing loss, but declared himself ready with the album turpitude einzuspielen. SPV then not renew the contract, the band finally dissolved shortly thereafter.
