I always seem to forget about this cd until I come across it on the shelf and throw it in the player and then it kicks my ass every damn time. This cd seems to get left out when we look back at great hard rock discs over the last 20 years or even releases from 1989 but it's a kick ass disc IMO. Plus you can usually find it dirt cheap so if you don't have it I suggest you buy it and it'll be a great but inexpensive investment.

I think I sometimes leave this off such lists, but definitely one of my all-time top 20 albums. Flawless stuff. Faves are 'Don't tell no lies' and 'Into the darkness'. Just a killer disc.

Victory is a band I only got into recently (late last year), and is one of those frustrating bands.

Nothing to do with them or their music, but because their debut album was self titled.

Trying to search Amazon or eBay for something as generic as the word "Victory", brings up pretty much everything with that word in it, and finding the debut CD is a bugger and a half.

No fuckin shit huh? by far IMO the most complet Victory disc from start to finish, at least for me, I don't think I skip a song on the entire disc when I listen to it! Don't Tell No Lies, and Power Strikes The Earth are my favs!

I don't skip any Victory songs until I play 'Instinct'. The rest are all brilliant.

I prefer 'Temple Of Gold' but this one is great as well

Indeed Never Satisfied and 'Don't tell no lies' are killer tunes

Culture Killed The Native was my first introduction to Victory and I was so surprised at how good that album and the band in general is.

Good solid stuff this. Not really any filler but only really a couple of songs that blow me away. I like the ballad "Lost in the Night" best.

Nice to see there's some others that love this disc too.

 

It's still my fav from Victory, with Temples being 2nd, and I still play it a few times a year and looking back I do feel it's one of the better hard rock releases of the last 20 years.

I always dug 'Hungry Hearts' the most but CKTN is definitely an underrated album. Saw them live in 1985 and they were awesome.

Love the album and the band. No doubt that a remastered version would be welcome because it doesn't the greatest sound but it is a great album. Favorite track for me is "On the Loose".

The problem with this thread so far is that no one else is acknowledging 'Don't tell no lies' as one of the best songs ever recorded.

First off let me say Fernando Garcia's vocals are Awesome (Wicked Sensation anybody) but for me this comes a close second to Temples Of Gold which for me is their finest hour.

      Voodoo Angel - Moulin Rouge

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again. Voodoo Angel is: Jean-Luc Rumèbe : Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys Jim Red : Bass guitar & Backing vocals Christophe Mouynet : Lead Guitars & Backing vocals Thomas Feuga : Drums & Backing vocals Additional Backing Vocals on „So Pretty“ by Ricky Kearns

      Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.
