I'm glad that hellsunicorn has finally reviewed Winterstorm stuff.
I also think that Deep Purple is the most underestimated classic band among the reviewers. Machine Head is the only one that overcomes the barrier of 10 reviews. I'd like to at least the guys review their classics yet.

Yeah man, I think I remember you asking me about a year ago to hit those, right around the time Cube of Infinity came out, felt bad I didn't get around to them the last 2 challenges and when I saw the list of about 20 albums left to potentially review yesterday, I just opted to nail the whole Winterstorm discography and then see what else I could squeeze in afterward. In retrospect, I wished that I'd reviewed their stuff sooner, they've got an excellent sound and I feel bad that they aren't getting the same level of interest that bands like Wind Rose and King Of Asgard have been getting.

To quote hells_unicorn's Weapon review: 'it was Weapon, a band that looks like the post-Grace Slick era of Starship'

Yeah, I saw that comment you made earlier and my curiosity was peaked. They were the only band that I opted to check out and then review while the challenge was going on (all the other stuff I had listened to in the preceding month and a half), and the words just flowed. They might have been well served had they gotten a better production, but for 1988, the whole "Too Fast For Love" formula was way too played out and there wasn't enough of a NWOBHM-influence on it to really make the rawer production work. A couple of the songs were pretty catchy and the performance of each musician was decent, but the songwriting was pretty bland and boring.
