CD-Review: Voodoo Circle - "More Than One Way Home"

Rock "super groups" seem to be in vogue these days. After W.E.T. here is another one: VOODOO CIRCLE, consisting of David Readman (Pink Cream 69), Mat Sinner (Primal Fear, Sinner) and others. Can they keep up with their colleagues from Sweden?




CD-Review: W.E.T. - "Rise Up"

What can I say about W.E.T.? It seems there is no other Melodic Rock band, which is more hyped. Mainly this is due to the well known band members Jeff Scott Soto (Talisman), Robert Sall (Work Of Art) and Erik Martensson (Eclipse). I read some reviews, which say "Rise Up" is a modern classic. I'll check if this is true!
