I mentioned recently when writing about a Gotthard album that I was struggling to come up with another Swiss rock band other than them and Krokus. Well, here is another that have been around since ’85 and this is their second album, released in ’89.
The record actually got to #2 in the Swiss charts and was the one that got them up and running. The power ballad single In The Middle Of The Night actually topped the charts. A very radio friendly record, it should have broken America as there is not one song that could have been a single. My favourite track is Don’t Ever Say Goodbye. A kick ass up tempo rocker with a simple cool riff, and what a killer hook and chorus. However, there are sooo many great tracks; The Great Wall, Dead Lights, Animal Victim, and Bitter Cold are all bangin tunes.
You can list this one under “great melodic rock albums that people never talk about”.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
