A mix of melodic AOR / Rock..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This is some of the best metal music out there--once you get "Nursery Crymes" or "Prelude to War" in your head, they won't go away; and "Broken Hearts, Broken Roads" is a truly haunting ballad. I never saw them in person, but I have two home movies of Misty Rox, and their live performances--no matter the singer--are amazing. John's drum playing is top-notch, and the guitar work--Ron is truly one of the best, and a talented writer as well. If you can, grab this CD--it is well worth it.(laidy)

Sarvela hailed from Massachusetts acted in the early 90s, being another prime example of a band that never got the chance to get something better in the music industry. The band lead by vocalist Brian Sarvela who later work with Joe Stumps Reign Of Terror and Zanister. The audio is a perfect sample of the band’s quality. The demo is hard to be found nowdays. In 2005 Sarvela re-formed played in around area releasing the album “Rage” and split up again. Brian Sarvela passed away in 2014.(https://melodic-hardrock.com/sarvela-powerful-pleasure-1993/)

Great Melodic Hard Rock/AOR

Nice surprise with this album, this is not AOR, nice Melodic Rock/HR of early 80s (1984). Great songs like 'Never Again' 'Running With the Night' and 'I'm Just a Loser', the 'ballads' 'Heavy on My Love' and 'Away from You' also good ones. Recommended.(j.carlos)

The sound is AOR in the vein of EUROPE meets RAINBOW

Bobby Z., is an American musician and record producer, most known as being the original drummer for Prince's band from 1978 to 1986, and as a member of The Revolution.

Kyle Henderson is the ex Bassist/Vocalist for the bands,”Whiteface” and “The Producers”. After The Producers got dropped from CBS Records in 1983, Kyle became a Born-Again Christian and released this Christian album on ex Kansas and  fellow Christian, Kerry Livgren’s label. “More Than The Look Of Love” album was favorite among Christian listeners and Christian radio. Kyle Henderson’s,”More Than The Look Of Love” happens to be one of the most sought after Christian albums filled with very strong lyrics about Jesus Christ !!! In fact,The Producers recorded Kyle’s song, “Renaissance” from “More Than The Look Of Love” for their 4th album, “Coelacanth”, but re-wrote the lyrics so it would’nt be so Christian for their album.(www.mhr.com)

9 TRACK OF GREAT MELODIC HARD ROCK!

Following the demise of Milwaukee's MEGATON BLONDE , drummer Mike Stix (also ex-REALM) would go on to form a heavier band with vocalist Mark Woydelko , Guitarist Jimmy Furlong , and Bassist Scott Meyer called CUTTHROAT.  Recorded in the early 90s , this is the first time ever on cd for their debut release.  This is straight-up 80s-style U.S. Power Metal drawing influences from bands like Crimson Glory, Mercyful Fate , Black Sabbath , Riot , Malice and Flotsam & Jetsam.  Powerful vocals , scorching riffs , and a pounding rhythm section showcased a band with a lot of talent and promise.  Retrospect is very proud to have them on the roster.  A nice find for any collector of obscure traditional American 80s sinister Metal!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Burton_(musician)

RAYMOND MAY was born in Sri Lanka & raised in Canada. During his teens he went to London & joined THE UNKNOWNS who released one Single. While in the UK he also competed in a local "Battle Of The Bands" contest & was ultimately signed to Penta Records by one of the judges who happened to be BRYAN ADAMS manager (Bruce Allen). The result was this sole offering which was produced by Bruce Fairbaim (BON JOVI, LOVERBOY)& was released in 1988. The result was typical Canadian straight Radio-Rock made famous by BRYAN ADAMS although he had an American way of singing. It was a well produced LP, but absolutely nothing to die for & was nothing more or anything less than straight Melodic Rock that had vibes along the lines of JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP, DOCTOR & THE MEDICS & BILLY SQUIER. The record label eventually folded & he was left without a contract. It's unclear whether he actually opened for AEROSMITH or not at the time the label went down the tubes...

Ray Lyell is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and vocal coach, which came to prominence with his band, The Storm, in the late 1980s. Lyell was nominated for a Juno Award as Most Promising Male Vocalist in 1990. Shortly after the nomination, he began an international tour in Australia. In 1994, Ray Lyell traveled to Nashville, TN to begin working on his third album, “Working Man”, with writers, Billy Crain and Todd Cerney. 1995 saw the release of “Working Man” but failed to set the Canadian airwaves on fire.In 1996, Lyell developed The Dynamic System of Vocal Teaching. His experience as a performer, with thousands of shows under his belt, meshed perfectly with his ability to coach singers toward better and healthier vocal performance. In an effort to expand his own knowledge, Lyell has studied with some of the most prominent vocal coaches in North America. He continues to teach, write and record out of his studio, Rayne Records, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.(MHR)
