"I vividly remember when this album was released. Well, what I remember is how the band was being pumped up as the next Whitesnake, because John Sykes was as involved in the Blue Murder album as he had been on the Whitesnake 1987 album. In fact, as he is singing here as well, he is involved more! And I remember the video for “Valley of the Kings” being on Rage on ABCTV every single Saturday night, and it being... okaaaay... but was it Whitesnake without David Coverdale? Well. Maybe.

I think my main motivation behind eventually buying the album is that I bought my first ever stereo for my room around the same time, and it had my first ever CD player, so I was going out and hunting for albums I could buy on CD to begin my collection. And as it turns out, this was being prominently displayed in Wilson’s Records in Wollongong on one day when I walked in, and so I decided to fork out the $28 it was marked at and give it a go.

Error."
