It took them 15 years for the first album, six for the second and three for the third. Here's evidently a band speeding things up and it's about time! Three CDs in almost 25 years isn't much. Stairway from the UK presents an album filled with good ole traditional metal, from the galloping riffs of Under The Gun to Liar, a song reminiscent of old Whitecross. Yet there's also a real blues rock song at the end. The playing shows their experience. The guitar soloing proves lead guitarist Pete Jennens knows how to shred. Unfortunately the production is not as top notch as one might hope. Not that it's bad but sometimes the guitars could be a bit more in your face. Like the brilliant soloing on Deo Volente sounds a bit distant, like all the music does to some extent. It's a pity because this band is great in their own style. It's not trendy music but no one said music needs to be trendy. Rock hard!
