Gale Force - Crash and Burn

Reminds me greatly of the "Rattle Your Cage" album by Barren Cross which is not a bad thing!

Very cool, has Tracie G. from Dio too. Now, what happened to him being with Worldview.

He said he was doing 2 new albums.  One is Gale Force.  Not sure about the other.

Not bad!

‘Worldview’ is the other.

That's cool, his voice has aged well.

Oh wow, I had no idea this was happening.
I'm really digging it.  I see you can order the album direct from their website.  Wondering if it is out now, or soon to be released? (for some reason I couldn't tell)

You can order it now and get the downloads while you wait on the CD.u

I've ordered it, and also downloaded the album.  He hasn't changed in looks or vocals in 30 years!  I need to talk to him about his anti-ageing stuff!

I will be glad when the CD arrives as I want to read the lyrics.  There are a couple of places I could have sworn I heard some less than favorable words.  Also, just on first listen mind you, a few of the songs seem to be Mike saying he no longer shares the faith.  It could be that I just heard part of the lyrics and missed the point of the song, too.  I don't want to cross this off without giving it a fair shake.

You mean shares like doesn't believe or shares in like evangelism? Either way would be a bummer.

I looked up the lyrics on on their website and didn't see anything like that but I notice most of the "Christian" stuff is more subtle, unlike BC.

Ugh. That isn't good at all.

Here's some lyrics from various songs...

Only God can move you
To the place where your faith is built

Dystopia is a pile of good looking waste-
(When I know where it leads you face to face)
Get out of your cell, Hell’s expanding itself
To receive all who’d give in to its spell

Where am I going? Blind as I can be
Looking for answers through a shady destiny
I’ve got a mirror, it lies to me so much
Whenever I ask how things are going on
But I know the answers deep inside of me
It isn’t the way I know that I should be
Where will I go after all the shows have been played?
Where will I fly after my goodbyes have been made?
What am I doing, God almighty knows
Sooner or later, all of it will show
I’ve got questions; what if I’d repent?
‘Cause I really don’t want to miss the main event
Where will I go after all the shows have been played?
Where will I fly after my goodbyes have been made?
Breaking out, surrender now
You’ve shown me how to make it out
Of slavery’s hold Where my heart grew cold
You found me where I bled despair
Stop the bleeding… from my heart and soul
I love what I’m feeling as I give up all control
I need more of you, more than I can say
Where am I going? …all the way


And when he emailed me, he did say "God bless".

Like I said, I am willing to explore the lyrics further.  It was my first listen, and I may not have heard what I thought I heard or misinterpreted what I was hearing.

Been a very busy Christmas Day. I thought I'd listen to some new music before bed just to wind down from the chaos. Has anyone heard this new one? The singer uses a style that seems to me to be a weird mix of familiar styles. There are moments that are very Eric Clayton (Savior Machine) and others that are kind of but not quite AC/DC in feel. I was surprised by this one. Happy, blessed Christmas all

Can't go wrong with Eric Clayton!

Hmmm, this seems familiar. Oh yeah, under the Michael Drive thread where we talked about this already. 
Love you Jen.

I guess I am just not hearing the lyrics properly.  Michael is still talking about God in his Facebook posts.  I will be interested to dig into the lyrics, though.

Look them up, they're on the website.

Yes, apparently I'm behind the times and seriously overworked. I didn't know you guys had already talked about this one. The secret Admin elves of CHM cut and pasted me into this thread. I feel weirdly like a pawn

Just ordered the CD.  Michael guesstimates that the physical copies will be arriving to them by 1/5.  In the meantime, I have the download and plan on giving it a spin tonight!!
