101 South - 2002 Roll Of The Dice
| |
'Majestic' is the word that immediately springs to mind when this new 101 South opus gets a fair hearing on my CD player.
|
91 Suite - 2002 91 Suite
| |
The new Spanish inquisition is thankfully a less gory and violent affair from millennia past. The new inquisition is instead, celebrating the glory of melodic rock and AOR in it's finest form - and it don't come better than this..
|
Adrenalin - 2002 Twenty Five Years: 1977-2002
|
|
if there had been any justice in the world Teri De Sario would have endured the same success as Pat Benatar et al and not ended up as just another casualty in the AOR wasteland.
|
Airless - 2002 Airless
| |
Another of the new brigade of Spanish bands, though not as pink and fluffy as labelmates 91 Suite or Golden Farm for instance. A harder guitar oriented edge is taken with Airless.
|
Alchemist, The - 2002 Songs From The Westside
| |
A curious collection this one. Not the sort of album to turn up loud. For the most part it drifts on a bed of atmospheric layers infused with rhythmic pieces. If I could compare it to anything.. think Zappacosta crossed with Sting..
|
Aquila - 2002 Say Yeah
| |
Aquila is the reincarnation of the superb Dutch band Terra Nova. Or more succintly, guitarist Fred Hendrix and brother Ron on keyboards. Though this time the full on pomp/AOR attack is dropped in favor of a lighter pop direction.
|
At Vance - 2002 Only Human
| |
On 'Only Human' the German neo-classical metallers seem to have found a second, even third wind, and are definitely back into the groove.
|
Atello - 2002 Welcome To The Wrecking Ball
| |
New York quartet Atello seem to have cornered the independent American hard rock scene with their traditional rock 'n' roll sound. 'Welcome To The Wrecking Ball' is the follow up to 1999's acclaimed debut 'The Big Payoff', as documented here previously at this website.
|
Athenaeum - 2002 Hourglass
| |
One can only assume the fickle behavior of such labels if the quality of bands like Athenaeum, Sugarbomb and Mars Electric can be dispensed with, yet utter crap like Tommy Lee, Handsome Devil and Beautiful Creatures can be perservered with. My god where is the justice? In Athenaeum's case, they follow a similar path to local contemporaries Far Too Jones, though unlike their buddies FTJ, they've managed to keep going, even without a proper label behind them.
|
Atticus Fault - 2002 Atticus Fault
| |
Rather like Collapsis before them, Atticus Fault is the thinking man's rock band. Intense, melodic and not a song about high school in sight, it's clear that they won't be to everyone's tastes..
|
Austin, Jeff (Project) - 2002 Go Big Or Stay Home
| |
Having been active around the Toronto and Florida scenes for quite a while, Jeff Austin has been getting this album together in stages for quite some time now. With guidance and studio assistance forthcoming from none other than John Albani (Wrabit/ Lee Aaron), chances were always pretty good for a cracking 80's AOR album.
|
babyPAUL - 2002 babyPAUL
| |
babyPAUL is a German band hoping to prove that German music fans do recognise real talent when they hear it, and on the evidence of the majority of their self titled debut album, they are well on course to achieve that feat.
|
Big Big Train - 2002 Bard
| |
This is another good, solid release from a criminally under-rated band. The album is designed to be heard as a whole piece.
|
Biloxi - 2002 Right The Music
| |
Though it's been nine years since the release of the classic 'Let The Games Begin' album, we here at G-DAZE are better prepared for Biloxi's melodic onslaught second time around.
|
BISS - 2002 BISS
 | |
It's been a good six years since Victory released 'Voiceprint', and the last time we heard Fernando Garcia. Whether or not Victory is a going concern is a mystery, but Fernando has come out of the wilderness on this new release by BISS.
|
Black Majesty - 2002 Sands Of Time [Promo]
| |
If their 3 track sampler is any indication then Black Majesty's debut album due in early 2003 will receive plenty of positive attention.
|
Bodin, Tomas - 2002 Pinup Guru
| |
Aside from his regular gig as keyboard player in the Swedish retro-prog band The Flower Kings, Mr Tomas Bodin is an independent composer. Following 'An Ordinary Night In My Ordinary Life', comes his second solo outing 'Pinup Guru'.
|
Boetz - 2002 Four Track Sampler
| |
Here's Ernie again with another HM blast of retro rock, all the way from Atlanta Georgia. Ernie continues on from his recent 'Call To Arms' effort, with a new 4 track EP.
|
Bold, Nick - 2002 For A Small Fee
| |
Here's a chap who's been out of the spotlight for a good wee while. Nick Bold.. better known as the guitarist with UK melodic rockers Virginia Wolf. In 2002, he returns with an album of solo material, pitched at the commercial end of the spectrum. It's more pop than it is rock and in some parts, it could best be described as the Travelling Wilburys doing AOR - though it does have a bit of variety.
|
Bon Jovi - 2002 Bounce
| |
The album was actually a tepid mixture of modern rock and weepy ballads that had little to do with the sound that enabled them to become huge in the 80's.
|
Boston - 2002 Corporate America
| |
Don't quite know what to make of this album.. At the time of its release 'Corporate America' was absolutely slagged in the press and when listening to this album one can see why. When compared to Boston's glorious past, 'Corporate America' is sadly lacking. Not that it's any good - it's just VERY different that's all.
|
Bradshaw, J.D - 2002 The Essence Of Existence
 | |
Out of Wachapreague, Virginia comes J.D. Bradshaw, a hard rocking, high energy guitar instrumentalist with influences such as Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen and Van Halen.
|
Buzzie - 2002 Are You Feeling Anything Yet
| |
You'd have to be six feet under to remain unmoved by this collection of catchy-as-hell pop rock. Hooks, melodies and yet more melodies burst out of these songs like rapid fire from an automatic weapon.
|
Byrd - 2002 Anthem
| |
Byrd has gained massive acclaim as a progressive rock mastermind, with Yngwie Malmsteen endorsing his work, most notably on Byrd's 1996 project 'Son Of Man' which featured a front cover note from Malmsteen.'Anthem' adheres to the symphonic metal niche, combining orchestral passages a la Queen (especially those multi-tracked guitars), and solos that the aforementioned Mr Malmsteen would gladly sign his name to.
|
Byrd, Brad - 2002 The Ever Changing Picture
| |
Brad Byrd is one of the most intriguing new independent artists I've had the pleasure to hear in ages. A fusion of alt. country and left-of centre rock with a real contemporary feel, 'The Ever Changing Picture' is an undiscovered gem.
|
California Guitar Trio - 2002 CG3 + 2
| |
For those of you unfamiliar with these guys, they've recorded a huge body of work both in the studio and live. They met at one of Robert Fripp's guitar clinics and then toured with his League of Crafty Guitarists.
|
Cannata-Arcangel - 2002 Tamorok
| |
This is a comeback album of sorts for pomp god Jeff Cannata. Out of action since 1993's 'Watching The World', his new effort 'Tamorok' is an eclectic collection, encompassing his new direction of world music, plus a dabble into his past.
|
Carlton, Vanessa - 2002 Be Not Nobody
| |
Okay, so I realise that Vanessa Carlton's debut album is more rooted in the pop field as opposed to rock, but we agreed here at GDAZE that there was something here which would be of appeal to many of our regular visitors. The fact is, 'Be Not Nobody' is a strong album, regardless of whatever musical style it may be.
|
Carrier, Chuck - 2002 Songs For 27
| |
On 'Songs For 27', Chuck Carrier has finally found his identity, both personally and creatively. His former band, Marathon, garnered a fair bit of attention with its album 'The Year of You' but even though that record was a decent effort, it's not a patch on this, Carrier's first solo release.
|
Chain Link Faith - 2002 Chain Link Faith
| |
These guys are coming at ya from Arizona, playing an 'in your face' style of heavy guitar oriented rock. Subtlety is not the sort of word to describe CLF, and if the rabid snarling dog intro is anything to go by, then you'll understand where these guys are coming from. More than likely the back alley of retro rock from the seventies and eighties.
|
Cher - 2002 Living Proof
|
|
Cher brings new meaning to the word 'longevity', and like a chameleon through the ages, has bounced back to surprise us yet again. If her massive dance-oriented hit single from 1998 'Believe' was an indicator of things to come, then 'Living Proof' her brand new album is exactly that.
|
Claymore, The - 2002 II
| |
While the Claymore sword was used for striking a killing blow to the enemy, The Claymore (the band), are striking a blow for melodic heavy metal. I wouldn't expect the German town of Castrop-Rauxel to be a mecca for metal, but that hasn't hindered this lot from putting together a bunch of fine melodic metal tunes.
|
Cornerstone - 2002 Human Stain
| |
This is the second installment by Cornerstone, the Danish/UK combo who first appeared at the end of 2000 with their debut 'Arrival'.
|
Cryonic Temple - 2002 Chapter 1
 | | From the dim dark days of power metal heaven comes Swedish exponents of said genre.. Cryonic Temple. Despite being part of a rather saturated scene back in the early part of the decade, I kinda like these guys. They strike a sword in the same manner as Manowar (just check out the lyrics for starters!), but come across as slightly gonzo as well.. |
Damon, Jesse - 2002 The Hand That Rocks
| |
This is the debut solo album from Silent Rage guitarist/singer Jesse Damon. Moving away from the hardened melodic bludgeon of his current band, to a series of styles showcasing his developing talent both as a songwriter and solo performer.
|
Dark Sky - 2002 Edge Of Time
| |
This time two years ago, GDAZE was applauding the efforts of Dark Sky's entrance into the melodic rock fold with their impressive 'Believe It' album. Now they're back, and continue the progress so evident from that 2000 set.
|
Dead Soul Tribe - 2002 Dead Soul Tribe
 | |
This is the new offering from one-time Psychotic Waltz frontman Buddy Lackey, this time going under the guise of Devon Graves. It's quite heavy but also quite melodic.
|
Def Leppard - 2002 X
 | | It's coming up to the end of the decade, and there are a few contenders for the decade's worst albums. This would surely have to be in the list.. |
Derelict Brew - 2002 Amputated Feelings
| |
Derelict Brew run the gamut of musical styles - a complete pot pourri integrating David Bowie, King Crimson, Black Sabbath and Sonic Youth.
|
Dio - 2002 Killing The Dragon
| |
With a seasoned lineup like this it's refreshing to see even a weary soldier like Dio is still capable of producing classic material.
|
Dionysus - 2002 Sign Of Truth
| |
In amongst all the aural bluster, there is a fantastic melodic rock band just waiting to break out! Surely? Pipe-dreams aside, Dionysus have demonstrated in the space of 50 minutes just what a melodic rock band would sound like if they veered toward the power lines and pylons of prog/melodic metal.
|
Dreadful Minds - 2002 Lost My Heart
| |
The material is solid, the songs are catchy and keep your attention. Unlike many German bands they've got a singer without a hint of an accent, and he's a fine one at that. An impressive taster for what should be good things to come from Dreadful Minds in the future.
|
Dream Evil - 2002 Dragonslayer
| |
Taking into account that this was initially Fredrik Nordstrom's baby, there is no hint of Dream Evil being a 'project'. This is one hell of a tight band and the production is the best I've heard for many a while (not surprising with Fredrik at the helm).
|
Dungeon - 2002 A Rise To Power
| |
After hearing this new album I sincerely doubt that an Australian band has ever produced a better melodic metal album.
|
Enchant - 2002 Blink Of An Eye
| |
Their third album, 'Break', was praised by the press and fans alike, but it would be their fourth, 'Juggling 9 Or Dropping 10' which would be hailed as the Enchant masterpiece. How could they hope to match the all-round greatness of that album? You'll be pleased to know that 'Blink Of An Eye' is a worthy successor.
|
Fast Machine - 2002 2 Track Promo
| |
Fast Machine features two stalwarts of classic rock/AOR heroes from yesteryear White Sister. Keyboardist Gary (as you knew him then.. Garri) Brandon, plus one-time WS drummer Gus Moratinos (ex ZZYZX).
|
Fatal Smile - 2002 Beyond Reality
| |
The music sees them at the crossroads of melodic metal, and straight ahead hard rock. Comparisons include Black Sabbath, Shotgun Messiah, and Talisman.
|
Final Frontier - 2002 The First Wave
 | | It came as a bit of a surprise when these two hooked up. Even more of a surprise that the pair decided to sign with troubled UK record label Z Records. However, as it would prove, 'The First Wave' ended up causing a minor tsunami among melodic rock fans during 2002. |
Firewind - 2002 Between Heaven And Hell
| |
This is melodic metal at it's best. Aptly named, with the image and sound to back it up. The result, a metal meltdown bought about by a Firewind maelstrom.
|
Fleischman, Robert - 2002 World In Your Eyes
| |
It's been a while, for sure, but the man is back with 'World In Your Eyes'. It's a very 'by-numbers' affair and Fleischman's voice still has a quirk which may not agree with everyone, but it's not without a couple of high points.
|
Flower Kings, The - 2002 Unfold The Future
 | |
The Flower Kings have really seemed to find their stride. 'Unfold The Future' is a huge piece, containing lots of peaks and troughs, I can hear many influences have been thrown into the mixture.
|
Freedom Call - 2002 Eternity
| |
The spirit of Manowar lives on in this German power metal outfit Freedom Call. All thoughts of kaftan robes and sandal-wearers is completely obliterated with this rampaging slab of metal.
|
Freewheeler - 2002 Demo
| |
Freewheeler are providing us with an aural onslaught from good ol' Blighty.. London in fact. They have been described as 'sleaze-influenced rock revelry'. Happy go lucky at best, with a foot in that eighties UK scene a la Dogs D'Amour, and no doubt influenced by every half decent pub band playing in London.
|
Frontline - 2002 Against The World
| |
Well, what can I say? Frontline (as were Fair Warning) are one of my favorite melodic rock bands. Not sure they fit the AOR bill anymore, as their sound has heavied up quite a bit.
|
Fury - 2002 Fury
| |
Fury are a Canadian band specialising in the melodic hard rock that populated that era, with a style ranging from then contemporaries Slaughter and Skid Row to Eyes.
|
Gaitsch, Bruce - 2002 Nova
| |
Bruce Gaitsch is one of those guitarists who just seems to be everywhere. He's popped up all over the place - too numerous to mention. What is apparent though, is he can run the gamut of musical styles, whether hard out rock, West Coast, or jazz and acoustic styles, but I suspect he's more at home on the cruisier side of Melodic Rock Boulevard.
|
Glover, Roger (And The Guilty Party) - 2002 Snapshot
 | | Unless you've been living under a rock for the past three decades, here's a man who needs no introduction, but before all you Speed Kings and Space Truckers get over-excited, here's a friendly word of warning.. Rog has created an album of many colours here, and none of them are purple. |
Golden Farm - 2002 Angels Tears
| |
Touted as being part of the new wave of Spanish AOR and melodic rock are this bunch of Barcelona residents going under the banner of Golden Farm. I have to say, this is a very classy affair. If you were to take the Scandanavian route, then bands like Alien or Treat might come into the picture.
|
Goo Goo Dolls - 2002 Gutterflower
| |
It seems that with the release of every new Goo Goo Dolls album, the tired old debate rages about how inferior the band are now compared to their early, garage-punk days. It's a pointless argument and one that seems especially uninspired after listening to the Goo's latest offering, the truly superb 'Gutterflower'.
|
Granati Brothers - 2002 The Continuing Adventures Of The Granati Bros
| |
I guess not many of our G-DAZE readership will have heard of the Granati Brothers. Unless of course, you live in the greater Pittsburgh area, or you have an encyclopediac memory of 1970/1980's discography. Previously known as the Granati Brothers during the 80's, and renamed as G-Force during the 90's, the family band plus hangers-on return in the new decade simply known as 'G'.
|
Grand Illusion - 2002 View From The Top
| |
'View From The Top' is a bit of prog, AOR and pomp, all bundled into one delicious slice of music.
|
Great Kat, The - 2002 Wagners War
| |
Named earlier this year as one of the top ten 'fastest shredders' of all time by Guitar One magazine, The Great Kat finally seems to be earning long overdue recognition as one of the most innovative talents in the metal world. This acheivement has put 2002's Wagner's War' in the spotlight..
|
Greenslade - 2002 Live 2001
| |
I'm fairly new to Greenslade and enjoyed most of this CD. With that in mind, there's hope the band could find more converts in the near future. If you're into the pompier end of the scale, check this out.
|
Hammerfall - 2002 Crimson Thunder
| |
Once touted as the next big thing in the world of traditional heavy metal, Hammerfall seem to have stalled slightly, instead maintaining a solid core audience worldwide, rather than breaking out into the big leagues of the mainstream..
|
Harem Scarem - 2002 Weight Of The World
| |
The Harem Scarem Class of 2002 is an intoxicating brew of debut era HS, melded with the modern pop/rock tones of Rubber.
|
Harlan Cage - 2002 Temple Of Tears
| |
The duo that is Harlan Cage (and ex Fortuneand Big City members) Messrs Greene and Craig return with their fourth dose of melodic mayhem for all the AOR purists out there in 'never never land'.
|
Heartland - 2002 Communication Breakdown
| |
However, what I will say is that with this new one 'Communication Down', Heartland have assembled perhaps the strongest collection of songs for quite a while.
|
Heaven (Norway) - 2002 Demo CD
| |
This particular Heaven comes from Norway. They are in fact the legacy of a band who came from the eighties, and who reputably put out a cult classic album in 1989 called 'Take Me Back'.
|
Hensley, Ken - 2002 Running Blind
| |
Perhaps this album should have been called 'Coming In From The Cold'. It's been a long time since we've had any mainstream product out of this ex Uriah Heep and Blackfoot keyboardist.
|
Highway Nine - 2002 What In Samhill
| |
I honestly didn't think that major labels bothered with bands like Highway Nine any longer. From the opening bars of 'Between Your Eyes and Mine', the band proves that sounding less offensive than The Eagles is actually possible. With a musical style somewhere between AOR and Nashville-country, the band has all the contemporary relevance of a topical one-liner from 1975.
|
Ice Blue - 2002 Ice Blue
| |
Another of the new brigade of Spanish bands making their presence known throughout the melodic rock world are this interesting bunch from Zaragoza called Ice Blue.
|
Innuendo - 2002 Raining In Mexico
| |
Arizona trio Innuendo don't do things by halves. An impressively detailed press kit accompanied the band's fourth CD 'Raining In Mexico', and with a comprehensive merchandise catalogue included, no-one could ever accuse the band of not doing enough to get the their name out there.
|
Jelly Jam, The - 2002 The Jelly Jam
| |
'Those who are familiar with Platypus should know it's not Platypus', warns Ty Tabor of the new band The Jelly Jam, formed from the ashes of that aforementioned band after the departure of keyboard player Derek Sherinian. He's right! Without Sherinian's ELP-style Hammond bashing, the JJ threesome have a more traditional rock feel.
|
Jeremiah Freed - 2002 Jeremiah Freed
| |
The name hints at the kind of classic rock bands that have influenced this Portland (Maine) five-piece, and the music confirms that Jeremiah Freed obviously spent their formative years rummaging through their parents' record collections.
|
Journey - 2002 Red 13 EP
 | | An overlooked part of Journey's discography is the four-track EP from 2002 called 'Red 13'. It was released during the brief time that they were without a label. |
July For Kings - 2002 Swim
| |
whereas other modern rock acts are big on image and small on substance, July For Kings' aggressive, energetic and powerful songs positively buckle under the weight of the hooks and melodies that dominate them and together with a real lyrical thoughtfulness and sophistication, the result is one of the most exciting rock records of recent months.
|
Kaipa - 2002 Notes From The Past
| |
This is Kaipa's first release in two decades - that alone seems to be a reason to get excited.
|
Kaminari - 2002 Kaminari
| |
This band play the type of German heavy rock that the Japanese usually love. They've also managed to get one of the guys from Primal Fear's crew on their side, which should help them in their quest to find a label.
|
Keltner, Lance - 2002 Lance Keltner
| |
For this self-titled fourth album, Lance offers more of his brand of retro-rock.
|
Kicking Harold - 2002 Space Age Breakdown
| |
'Space Age Breakdown' is simply one of the best modern rock records, indie or major-label, you will hear in 2002. These days, Kelly is the only remaining original member of Kicking Harold, and the band's sound is slightly more mature and melodic, yet the raw power and energy of the original band is still intact.
|
Kingdom Come - 2002 Independent
| |
I've always had time for Lenny Wolf. If I'm in the mood for old metal, Lenny Wolf's 'Germany' is never too far away from my CD player, plus the first three Kingdom Come albums ('Kingdom Come', 'In Your Face' and 'Hands Of Time') are definitely not without their high points.
|
Koslen, Jonah (And The Heroes) - 2002 Orange
| |
Rather like the Breathless debut, 'Orange' is full of light and shade, a heady cocktail of musical styles skillfully combining truly dynamic heavy AOR with deft lighter moments.
|
Kotzen, Richie - 2002 Slow
| |
At the age of 29 Richie Kotzen has released the staggering sum of eleven solo albums (not to mention Poison, Mr Big etc) the latest of which is 'Slow'.
|
Lane, Jani - 2002 Back Down To One
| |
To most observers, Jani Lane will always be defined by 80s-style big hair, spandex and of course Warrant's massively successful bubblegum rock anthem 'Cherry Pie'. 'Back Down To One', the singer's debut solo album (not including the excellent unreleased 'Jabberwocky' project) smashes all those ill-conceived stereotypes in one go.
|
Lebocat - 2002 Flo's Barbershop
| |
Previously featured here at this website, Lebocat were previously known as The Tops, whose home base is San Jose, California.
|
Lee, Tommy - 2002 Never A Dull Moment
| |
There's a modern vibe all over 'Never a Dull Moment' far removed from Lee's cock-rock days, and although he deserves credit for wanting to move on from his past musical endeavours, it still doesn't alter the fact that most of this album loses its lustre too quickly.
|
Lord Grey - 2002 Lady Of The Lake
| |
Named after two guys in the band (Earle Lord and original bassist Doug Grey), their sound invokes memories of Surgin (without the keyboards), and bands of the eurometal scene. You even get a sniff at what would eventually become Savannah, though Lord Grey has a heavier and rockier feel when compared to the AOR overtones of that band.
|
Loud N Clear - 2002 Disc-Connected
| |
From L.A, these guys have a few strands of eighties hair-metal in their cosmetics kit, and their previous works could very well have been Journey cover-band material, circa their 'Evolution' and 'Departure' era.
|
M.D.G - 2002 MP3 EP
| |
All in all an intelligently crafted and impressive EP which should appeal to anyone with an ear for music beyond the average and generic!
|
M.D.G - 2002 Underachiever
| |
Rochester rocker Matthew D. Guarnere released this, a two track promo single, late in 2002, and it's taken us until now (late 2003) to review it, I ashamedely admit that this is too good a secret, kept for way too long.
|
MacAlpine, Tony - 2002 Live Insanity
| |
Of all the guitarists out there in neo-classical land, Tony MacAlpine is my favorite. I've followed his career since 1986's debut album 'Edge Of Insanity', and in between all the widdly diddly fluff are some moments of supreme inspiration. In a live context MacAlpine excels, so it's nice to finally see a live recording out in the public domain.
|
Machine Men - 2002 Five Track Demo
| |
This quintet come from Finland, and are heavily into the likes of Queensryche and Iron Maiden.. and you know what? It's damned good.
|
Manowar - 2002 Warriors Of The World
| |
Unfortunately this is Manowar's weakest effort to date. The tried and tested formula of metal overcoming all seems to have run itself into the ground.
|
Mecca - 2002 Mecca
 | | Is this the definition of purists AOR? Some say yes, we say no. |
Mechanix - 2002 Regenerator
| |
Previously going under the banner NVS, Mechanix have rebadged themselves for this 2002 release 'Regenerator'.
|
Midnight Oil - 2002 Capricornia
 | |
Having begun their recording career as long ago as 1978, Aussie rockers Midnight Oil are back with their 14th studio release 'Capricornia'. While the social/political aspects of their lyrics have attracted an abundance of attention over the years, their finely crafted melodic rock has all too often been overlooked as a result. Until now ...
|
Monkey Bite - 2002 Out Of The Way
| |
Monkey Bite are the band put together by the Brazilian brothers Ferreira. Now located in Denver Colorado, these guys previously went under the name of Cartoon, and both bands have been mentioned previously on this site during 2001.
|
Morningwood (with Tony Harnell) - 2002 Morningwood
| |
A year after TNT's demise in 1992, Tony Harnell hooked up with some fellow NYC rockers to release this novel, if interesting release of songs. Before that however, Tony was doing acoustic gigs, which eventually rolled into the Morningwood project.
|
Mouth Of Clay - 2002 What Have You Got To Loose [Demo]
| |
From Sweden, these guys are in the business of turning clay into gemstones of a musical variety. Well sort of. They've got a wee way to go, because there are still too many rough-cuts to be trimmed off the sides first.
|
Mydra - 2002 Mydra II
 | |
Following a promising start with self-titled debut album on Phonogram in 1988, German-British rockers Mydra disappeared from the spotlight. The band got a new singer and completed a full second album, but just about then, their new record label pulled the plug on the project, leaving 'Mydra II' in limbo. 10 years later the unhappy ending is less final, as 'Mydra II' has seen the light on Georg Siegl's AOR Heaven label.
