Singer and guitarist Tom Schaupp, English bass player Timothy Toing and Canadian drummer Matthew Sting pretty much counts for internationals but are all living in Germany. Influences encompass the likes of AC\/CD, JUDAS PRIEST, SAXON, WHITESNAKE and ZZ TOP, so what could possibly go wrong? <\/p>\n<p>If you list influences but don\u00b4t use the lion part, it\u00b4s pretty useless.  Most of the music is based on AC\/DC, not least the nicely groovy title track. There is also a pinch of early SAXON, which returns in very small doses along the way. The refrains are pretty bland, not least \u201cFrozen Water\u201d and \u201cMy Last Beer\u201d. Pleasures are not all that many, the title track, \u201cDrive Me Home\u201d and \u201cToo Young to Die\u201d, and possibly \u201cMetalgod\u201d \u2013 with its NWOBHM tale on AC\u2026 you\u00b4ve guessed it. Most songs out of the 14 on offer are pretty formulaic, and nothing that will make old-timers change their diet of AC\/DC, SAXON or thereabouts. Still they do it with conviction enough release an album on their own label, so I lift my hat off on that point.<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nRock\u00b4n\u00b4Roll Hero<br \/>\nStompin\u00b4<br \/>\nHeat Up My Night<br \/>\nFrozen Water<br \/>\nMetalgod<br \/>\nTakkaa Takkaa<br \/>\nOverdose<br \/>\nDrive Me Home<br \/>\nBad Money<br \/>\nMy Last Beer<br \/>\nI Wanna Know<br \/>\nFree Like an Eagle<br \/>\nToo Young to Die<br \/>\nMetalgod &#8211; The Adoration<\/p>\n<p>www.razzmattazz.com <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Night Music Records\/Music Buy Mail\/Sound Pollution Germany as a whole is quite productive on the metal scene, in this case it\u00b4s the south that\u00b4s rising.
