Who Dares Wins

RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present reissues of NOT FRAGILE’s cult Who Dares Wins mini-album on 12” vinyl format. Feeling duty call, RELICS FROM THE CRYPT arrive with long-overdue reissues of NOT FRAGILE’s Who Dares Wins mini-album and their intended debut album, One Way to Glory, both remastered by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony. Originally released in 1988 after being passed around by a couple labels, Who Dares Wins was a rough ‘n’ raucous slice of German speed / power metal emblematic of that era. With surprising heaviness if not thrashiness, the band’s 27-minute mini-album bore contemporaneous influence from the likes of Running Wild and Helloween nearby and Helstar and Liege Lord overseas. Nevertheless, NOT FRAGILE had the songwriting – and energy – to put them over, with the record’s production sounding particularly professional despite its meager budget.
