WINTERHAWK-REVIVAL-

This american outfit got together for the first time in 1977 and released this their full length debut in 1981. After a tenure in college Jordan Macarus got together with his earlier bassplayer Doug Brown and with a new drummer they recorded this early ´80s masterpiece. A mature Hard/Heavy/Prog/Blues rock record that certainly does speak for itself. The overlooked release back in the day makes this a true “in between layer” recording.

A great producing job makes this a very nice album that seems to have survived all time wearness and the great songs are perfectly represented with terrific interaction between the vocals and guitar overdubs. This is a very good album and one of those glowing lights that shows the path to enlightment amongst obscure bands and albums. Top notch!! 🙂

Whatabout the drummer, Scott Benes?? As the belief in astralplanes and afterlife this drummer is a true exception that this demensions must excist. A phantom-drummer with clear resemblence towards Neil Peart with fantastic striking abilities and a hitratio that just puts the Word “Divine” in an Another aspect. The drive and technical skills are amongst the best from this timeperiod and there is nothing lacking in Mr. Benes performance. This just great drumming at top World level so I just bow my head and enjoy the ride along with the turntable. One of the best experiences of my Life!! I´m lost for Words….happy, happy, happy 🙂

Well, if you do like this genre in Music there is probable cause to Think that you already own this masterpiece. If you don´t there are good original copies out there but be prepared to pay a handsome sum of Money. Reissues are available and a much better option because the risk of playing this album over and over until there is no plastic left is eminent. What the heck, treat yourself with a bag of crisps and a case of beer to enhance the experience… the wonderful World of Music!! 🙂
