Youth Gone Wild!

December 2007: Some music journalists discover a 4-track CD in their Christmas mail by a combo hitherto unknown to them, called Kissin’ Dynamite. No booklet. Zero background information. But what they hear needs no further explanation: Gripping hard and riff rock professionally produced and influenced by Mötley Crüe, Whitesnake and AC/DC – reminiscent of NWoBHM sounds by the iron pioneers themselves, and an anthemic pathos HammerFall and Manowar could not pull off any better-, lets expectations towards the entire record by these nobodies rise sky high.

6 months later – July 2008: The Kissin’ Dynamite debut STEEL OF SWABIA is finally available in stores. And it lives up to the expectations created by the 4-track appetizer released just before the turn of the year. Especially as, to the astonishment of the audience, it leaks out that the guys who delivered this masterpiece are not grown men with decades of

KISSIN' DYNAMITE Money, Sex & Power

Album · 2012 · Heavy Metal

Kissin' Dynamite is the name of an AC/DC song but this young German band sound nothing like the Aussies. Money, Sex & Power is the third full length album from the band who play a classic 80's melodic metal style with a touch of Glam Sleaze and a modern powerful production.

Influences range from Judas Priest to Helloween / Gamma Ray with a bit of Alice Cooper thrown into the mix. The songs are very catchy sounding with big riffs, great solo's and a memorable chorus. Lyrics are a bit cheesy but do not detract from the songs. The singer Hannes Braun occasionally sounds a bit like Axel Rose, although in a natural way, but he looks more like a member of Motley Crue. Standout tracks include 'Money Sex & Power','Dinosaurs Are Still Alive' and the hard rock of 'Six Feet Under'.

This album then is party music for those that like their Metal melodic, full of classy riffs and powerful enough to make you want to jump about while drinkin' beer.

Kissin' Dynamite is probably Germany's big successor candidate to that country's metal throne, delivering a high-octane heavy metal barrage in 'Addicted To Metal', the young band raise their game after the 2008's promising debut, 'Steel of Swabia'. Still adopting Helloween's power metal teaching but mostly in a slower tempo, they also provide some Manowar nods to spice up their music, and Johannes Braun is surely one of the most talented singers I ever heard.

The first track, 'Addicted To Metal', with guest appearance of Udo Dirkschneider, is pretty good and though it looks like a strong offering, the best track is actually on the next one, 'Run For Your Life'. Followed by 'Supersonic Killer', the riff is sensational and the vocal power is monster. 'High Enough' is an unexpected surprise of Damn Yankees cover, nice harmony, and the low tuning guitar overdrive is a unique approach by them, and turns out to be a pleasant thing.

Entering the second half, the road is a bit bumpy, some weaker tunes such as 'All Against All' or 'In The Name of The Iron Fist' are blocking the road but some other ground-breaking songs such as 'Hysteria' or 'Assassins of Love' are good for the ears. The ballad, 'Why Can't You Hear Me', is another proof that they can write softer tune as good as an AOR expert, and hail to 'Metal Nation', a bombastic closer and another personal fave of mine.

Some superb solos and great production made this disc a brilliant buy. The volatility in the songwriting consistency is perhaps only the matter of their young age and I believe time is their friend and I'm pretty sure they can maintain the growth in the next album. So if you're addicted to metal, how can you pass on this?
