so after the Company Of Strangers cd came this pile, I mean album. they go from great to "what is this about" way too many covers for a band of this talent to be doing and it was a strange mix of covers at that. don't get me wrong, there are a few good songs here but I guess the expectations were pretty high.

Yeah, just hearing the samples, the covers don't impress me one little bit {Simply :wtf: did they do that for :unsure: } but it's the other material I desperately want !!!

Okay,I've gotta' say the "Untold" material on this I love and was actually very surprised how good it really is.....Shit Robert Hart is bloody good :bowdown:

Now the "Told" material and I went into this with the blinkers off and an open mind and a couple of them very much suprised me considering two of them are my two favorite :bowdown: Bad Company songs:

 

Oh Atlanta is actually pretty good.

Ready For Love is listenable but nothing more.

Can't Get Enough....For the love of God....What were they thinking :lame:

Silver Blue And Gold is also pretty good.

Shooting Star...Liked the "crunchy guitar sound" halfway through the song but otherwise this is a song that should just be left alone. It boarders on sacrilege tampering in any way with this song.

Simple Man is probably my second favourite :bowdown: Bad Company song and this version I also love....Very Impressed with this one.

Weep No More....Again listenable but nothing more.

 

Have you also noticed anyone who has this album, that after about 30 seconds at the completion of track 14, there is about a minute of audio of the Band mucking around in the studio that is pretty funny.

 

Anyway, I really like the album and this is another one that shits all over that wanker Howe and anything he did with them <_< even though I would have much preferred it to have been all new material !!!!!

      Stormburst - III

      To tell you the truth, we couldn't agree on a title so I suggested III. It's been three years between every album and this is our third. ; )

      Stormburst - III

      By Stefan · Posted

      New album 'III' out May 19 through Pride & Joy Music. Press release: STORMBURST was formed in July 2014 with the intention to make high quality Melodic Hardrock music without any compromises, whatsoever. No more covers so to speak, just all original song material. Bass player Kent Jansson (Six Feet Under, Keen Hue, Steam) and guitarist Thomas Hansson (Steam, Coastline) started out with singer Lars-Åke ”Plåtis” Nilsson (Keen Hue) and to achieve the special sound they were looking for. Keyboardist Peter Östling (Six Feet Under) was sent a demo and pretty much joined immediately.   In late 2019 original drummer Peter Ytterberg quit for personal reasons and was soon replaced by Mr. Pelle Hindén of Eternal (Of Sweden). Stormburst as a band and unit is all about uncompromisingly doing what you believe in, even if you have a headwind. When the wind blows hard in life sometimes (as it really does), the love of music is still in all conditions strong and sustainable. Stormburst has the ability to reflect this with their own music and lyrics and their style can best be described as a combination of traditional Melodic Hardrock & AOR. The band is based in the heartland of Sweden, Dalarna and all members contribute to the song-writing and arrangement process.   Stormburst have released two albums so far: ”Raised On Rock” (2017, AOR Heaven) and “Highway To Heaven” (2020, AOR Heaven).   Now, “III” is the third album by Stormburst which will be released on May 19th, 2023 via Pride & Joy Music.  All songs were written by Nilsson, Hanson, Jansson, Hinden, and Östling and recorded At Studio Plåtis Vansbro and Studio Bakery Äppelbo between December 2022 and February 2023.
