Release Notes:
KINGDOM COME was formed in North America by German
born singer Lenny Wolf, after his experience with
the band STONE FURY (together with guitarist Bruce
Gowdy, later on founder of UNRULY CHILD). The
initial line-up comprised Wolf, guitarists Danny
Stag and Rick Steier, bassist Johnny B. Frank and
drummer James Kottak. The band emerged in 1988 with
a very successful self-titled album for Polydor.
The record entered the US album charts at #12, with
good results scored also in Sweden and the UK where
it entered the Top 50. As a consequence of this,
KINGDOM COME secured a valuable place on the
American 'Monsters Of Rock' touring package which
also included METALLICA, SCORPIONS and headliners
VAN HALEN. Further dates followed with BON JOVI and
RATT in Japan and a trip to Britain opening for
MAGNUM. The following year KINGDOM COME toured
America promoting their second album 'In Your
Face', supporting the likes of WHITESNAKE, CHEAP
TRICK and FLEETWOOD MAC. In August 1989 the
original line-up split, with Wolf keeping on the
KINGDOM COME project together with session players
on the third album "Hands Of Time", followed after
2 years by the critically acclaimed 'Bad Image' in
1993. During the nineties Wolf relocated in Germany
and kept on releasing albums and toured
relentlessly Germany and several other European
countries. The ôIndependentô album in 2002, landed
the band back on the radar after a German album and
an album of mostly re-recorded songs. ôIndependentô
saw Lenny occupy the helm of the Kingdom
Come-battleship single-handedly, not willing to
compromise or rely on others. Following a very good
success of sales and critics, Wolf decide to use a
similar approach for the follow up album
"Perpetual", released in 2004 on Frontiers.
ôPerpetualô saw Lenny retain the sheer force and
bruteness of ôIndependentô mixed with classic
KINGDOM COME trademarks. With the new studio album
"Ain't Crying For The Moon", Wolf decided it was
time to take out the axe again and rock the house.
"The new Cd is one of my heavier recordings" says
Wolf, adding "I was trying to build ôwalls of
guitarsö in combination with that typical KC moody
and spacey approach. It does not have the typical
ôbluesö factor anymore, which many of you may
remember from KCÆs first records. I have
transported my roots into the year 2006". Still the
album keep on having a very personal and quite
recognizable, even if KINGDOM COME still are an
ever-evolving musical reality. Welcome back !
