Is that first clip an original or a cover?

On a side note, FNA recently released a Gibraltar CD with Rory Cathey on vocals.

Really looking forward to this release. Any U.S. pre-orders yet?

Thanks, just picked myself up a copy.

Agreed, but "Dangerously Close" is narrowing the gap the more I listen to it.

Not quite up to "All Stand Together" standards, but this is easily the 2nd best album they've ever done. [/quote Agreed, but "Dangerously Close" is narrowing the gap the more spins I give it.

History of the band Stalker taken from their Youtube page. The band formed in September 1988 and recorded Volume 1 one month later. It was just a demo, more like a reaction than a complete thought. It was released in February of 1989 and went on to sell 10,000 copies worldwide. At the time things were happening fast. We were courted by MCA Records, Tom Whalley @ Interscope Records, Vinny Vincent and countless others. Surprised by success, we confronted it head on. We wanted to do something about it. We toured across the United States. We appeared regularly in magazines across the world including, Rip, Powerline, Metal Edge, Live Wire, Japans Burrn and Italy s Fireball. Fans were writing from Malaysia, Holland, Romania, Brazil, Japan and Australia. We even received a letter from a fan in Indonesia who had heard us on the radio there, and had purchased a tape on the black market. The same thing happened in the U.S.S.R. A friend of mine, Andy recalls, stationed in Spain, in the Navy, told me about the day his roommate showed up with a cassette of a hot new band. He had just purchased it because everyone on his ship loved it. My friend recognized my picture on the cover. His shipmate had just picked up Stalkers Volume 1. In 1991 we went back into the studio with producer Dave Durr (Eventide Harmonizer) and recorded Last Laugh and Find A Way. The songs were never released but they were heavily shopped once again. Ahhh, the sweet smell of success! We loved it, it loved us. After three tours in just as many years we were ready to release our first album, we had found ourselves, our sound. Peyote Picnic was released in 1993. A collection of monstrously digable tunes, heavy on the edges deep in the middle, and single-handedly responsible for the mass hysteria which followed. In 1994 the band recorded two last tracks Long Way Home and Confessions which were also never released. In 1995 Stalker spilt up. Mark went on to other projects, writing and recording. He continues to perform live in the NY, NJ area. You can catch Marky Mark & The Love Hi-Jackers every week. Andy, Angelo, Martin and Ruy formed The Insaints and The Fedz. They wrote and recorded dozens of songs at their studio TRG Recording in West Paterson New Jersey which housed the likes of Christina Aguilera, Producer Warren Riker (The Fugees),Catch 22 and many others. Andy aka Ando is the lead guitar player in Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra. He has recently finished mixing the new Kokolo Album, Love International. Catch Ando and Kokolo on tour. You can also catch Andy and Marin fronting their own 7 piece Reggae Band- Smoove.

That last photo is the band Roxx Gang. Stalker from New Jersey.

Lawless - Rock Savage

How the snippet compares to Sultan ? I'm expecting at least on par Difficult to tell cos its mostly guitar solos. A quote from singer Nils Molin "Heavier and faster-paced music with big arrangements built around soaring vocal melodies is the recipe for this album." To be released on Spinefarm Records.
