I'm quite surprised that I haven't heard of these guys before, the band originally got together back in 1995 in London and this is their ninth album. They have also played some really big shows, in 2002 and 2004, they were at Bloodstock Festival in the UK, the 2005 they were at Rock The Nations Festival in Istanbul. 2007 they were at the San Francisco Bay Area Rock Festival.
There has been one or two line-up changes but the band is now
Hazel Jade - Lead Vocals
Chris Young - Guitars
Adam Wardle - Guitars
Tony Ritchie - Bass and Vocals
Lionel Hicks - Drums
This album is called Fresh From The Abyss which very dramatic and theatrical with some seriously awesome guitar solos thrown in when you least expect it.
Hazel has got an amazing set of pipes and is accompanied well by bass player Tony who takes lead on occasion
I particulary like One More Time Around The Sun as it sounds very emotional and the guitar solo basically melted my face off. This is one of the guitar solos I was not expecting, I was sitting, listening, enjoying the song and then the solo came in and I was like "where did that come from?"
Land Man Down was the perfect song to start this album with, it's such a big sounding song and there is a synthesizer solo!! The energy is great from the very start and gets you ready for the rest of the album.
Never Be Here Again is the best track on the album, it gives me some serious 80s classic rock vibes but ramped up. It will make you want to stand with one foot on a chair pretending it's a speaking and you are on stage belting out the lyrics.

Make sure you check out this album now!!!
