Joe Lynn Turner Live Show Review/Sweden Rock 2019

    Sweden Rock 2019 welcomed classic hard rock icon JOE LYNN TURNER on Opening day of the festival,June 5th 2019.  The Swedish crowd was more than ready to be rocked by one of the music industries endearing Rock and Roll masters. And on this day they were not disappointed.

      JOE LYNN TURNER absolutely owned that stage with his own brand of confident heavy, superior vocal supremacy. His ageless swagger and signature sunglasses held that crowd in pure musical hypnosis. The first day festival faithful  could hear and see his musical genius. 

    JOE LYNN TURNER'S voice and legacy are what drives fans to sing along, and younger musicians to pick up their instruments. Truly, he still has a tremendous passion for his craft.
      CRY OF THE WOLF MAGAZINE rates his performance 10/10 wolf howls.

Sweden Rock 2019 Day 2

Sweden rock 2019 day 2 is now wrapped up culminating in a historic final hydrogen bomb attack by the mighty SLAYER! Just a fiery set by this American Thrash iconic band. What a way to say farewell.

 Thursdays ultimate metal fest also saw burning hot performances by BLAZE BAYLEY, COBRA CULT, BLACKBERRY SMOKE and more. Into the middle of this musical hurricane strode the boys from AMON AMARTH.

They conquered the fire rimmed stage like the metal vikings they are and just overran us with power viking death! KROKUS and ARCH ENEMY also waged a sonic war with the crowd.

 It was an incredible sight to see the crowd surging towards the TENACIUOS D stage and scream in approval at the onstage metal assault by JACK BLACK.

DEF LEPPARD continued to bring its hallmark and well crafted hard rocking ballads to the forefront and played as the sun began to set.
Meanwhile in the tents, SCARLET

 and SINS IN VAIN
kept the temps high as they whipped the tent crowds into frenzy. Ending the fest with SLAYER was pure genius and the crowd was left obliviated. Just another day at SWEDEN ROCK but hold on there is more to come.....

Sweden Rock 2019 day 1

Dateline Sweden, the weather? Warm, the beer?, cold, the bands?..burning up the stages...
    It should be noted that Sweden is filled with some of the friendliest people on Earth. Throughout the festival grounds were greeted with positive attitudes, and smiles. And the music, well it is just chock full of metal. Starting with the southern blues of JAMES HOLKWORTH AND THE COOL BENDERS and culminating with the squealing sonic assault of 80s legends, SKID ROW, this was one hell of a kickoff to the 4 day yearly event.

 Peppered on different stages throughout the day were bands like OZ,

DYNASTY, DEATH ANGEL,

and JOE LYNN TURNER. This is one of the best organized festivals on the planet.

Grimskull--The Return

Grimskull----The Return

Fantastic power metal with an old school vibe on this Ep.
I hear all the elements of that new wave of heavy metal influence and a touch of modern shredding. Vocals remind me of early STRYPER and FASTWAY. Yes it is that good. Grimskull is a 3 piece outfit that plays and sounds like a five piece. Very good production and the overall sound is one of excitement and precision metal making.

 It is all here, shredding guitars, pounding bass lines, drums from hell and over the top vocals. It would seem that wherever GRIMSKULL went and then returned from they brought all the gods of true metal with them. Get this EP and crank it loud as hell.
Best track----"Dream Master"
10/10 Wolf Howls
