One of the finest German bands from the 80s, Iron Angel create a sound drawing influences of speed metal from Running Wild, raucous true metal like Accept, and, of course, some speed-thrash from early Destruction. Winds of War is more melodic, features more power-trad. influences on top of an excellent speed metal base, and also has a cleaner, less raw production than the debut Hellish Crossfire without loosing any power!
