Re: Stone Fury & Kingdom Come

Following your good words, I decided to continue. From the S/T (1988) to "Too" (2000): "In Your Face" (1989) is excellent. "Bad Image" (1993) is excellent. "Twilight Cruiser" (1995) is very good / excellent. The other albums from that area are very good. Thanks so much for your feedback. Totally wor...

Re: What are you listening to right now?

Psychotic Waltz "God-Shaped Void" - Far and away my favorite PW album, and one of my top 5 albums of 2020. Seriously hope they are working on a followup, as this was musical perfection beginning to end. I like "God-Shaped Void" a lot, it was surprisingly strong after such a long break, even though ...

Re: Mystery - Redemption

I like the album "Lies And Butterflies" but I feel it's a bit too light. I don't have this feeling of "too light" with the album "Redemption". I also find that the quality of the compositions is superior to the album "Lies And Butterflies". I love the album "Redemption"!

Stone Fury & Kingdom Come

I had only the Kingdom Come S/T album (1988). I recently discovered the band Stone Fury. This is the previous band of the Kingdom Come singer Lenny Wolf. Their first album "Burns Like A Star" (1984) is excellent! To me this is better than Kingdom Come! Nevertheless, I did a little Kingdom Come updat...
