FULL SPEED AHEAD …is back!

One of Germany’s best hardcore bands is back! After almost five years their new album “All In Me” is released and sets new standards for Leipzig’s hardcore scene. In the course of their last successful sampler (“Unchain The Chained” HALB-30/ 2002) the band went on tour and was enhanced by a second guitarist. But since 2004 Full Speed Ahead slowly withdrew from playing live. One main reason was the leaving of the bassist which could not be compensated for a long time. But the less live gigs, the more time was there for creative song writing. In the meantime, the remaining four extensively used the new circumstances for composing new titles and focused mainly on the accentuation of their approved style and the addition of new musical elements. At the same time, Full Speed Ahead were looking for a new bassist who was finally found in 2005. Newly fused, the band strengthened and developed their latest pieces. But Rome wasn’t built in a day and after almost two years, “All In Me”, the hitherto most diverse and powerful output of Leipzig’s hardcore heroes was produced. “All In Me” is an album under pressure, full of energy and aggression. Because of new musical influences the album seems more mature and concrete than its predecessor. The influence of the new-gained guitarist is unmistakable and has a great effect on the quality of the songs. The sound is more aggressive and versatile and new forces and ideas can be discerned. Besides, it is the most personal album so far, since song texts not only refer to topics such as social evils and defects but also to emotions and thoughts about fear, hope and love. Now, the waiting comes to an end and with their impressive album “All In Me” the band returns. The perfect mixture of the typical aggressive F.S.A. sound and new musical aspects constitutes this powerful and diverse release. The hardcore of Full Speed Ahead stands out due to the combination of aggressive riffs, heart and melody. As usual, the name is a dead giveaway.
