Editorial Reviews

This album sat "in the can" and unreleased since it was recorded in 1988. Only a handful of cassettes were sold to fans at an occasional concert. Bill Menchen (Titanic, The Seventh Power, Final Axe) and vocalist Ken Redding had been friends since their days in the Omega Band. Bill took it upon himself to remix the album and start the resurrection process. The original 2 inch tapes were discovered years before when the guys had been cleaning out a garage. If it hadn't been for Ken's brother-in-law taking them home, this metal gem would have been thrown away and lost forever! The album was recorded by the legendary Randy Thomas (Allies, Sweet Comfort Band, etc.), and mixed at John and Dino Elephante's (Kansas, Mastadon) Packaderm Studio by Mike Mierau (X-sinner). From day one, the album was surrounded by greatness, and Retroactive Records is proud to make this heavy metal gem available world-wide for the first time ever! The deep, rich vocals of Ken Redding show an obvious Dio influence, but the music will also appeal to fans of melodic metal in the vein of Barren Cross, Bloodgood, Judas Priest, and Whitecross.

This review is from: Kingdom Come (Audio CD)

Yea, this from the 80s (literally), but the production is prime. I want to emphasize that because this disc was originally a cassette tape someone found in a garage according to the liner notes. This disc has great guitar work, great production and stellar vocals provided by Ken Redding. This guy can sing with the falseto screams to prove it, reminding me of such greats as Rob Rock (Impellitteri), Mike Lee (Barren Cross) and Robyn Kyle Besauri (Red Sea). The only bummer part of this disc is that there are no lyrics. Fortunetly, however, Redding's incredible voice does such a great job with lyrics in that you can actually understand what he is singing. This is an art that is unfortunetly lost in a lot of today's metal music scene. But the lyrics would have been nice because they are all in-your-face evangelistic Christian lyrics. This disc features eight killer metal tracks, a slow paced, hard rock blues tune, "Jesus Heals" (one my favs on the disc) and of course the power ballad called "Love of God". This tune starts out acoustically, but kicks into a little more of an uptempo rocker with the acoustic guitar playing throughout. The last song is a killer tune in which Redding gives the invitation and prayer to receive Christ. What more can I say about this disc except get it!
