Magnum - On Wings Of Heaven (Live)

(SPV) Total time: 115:00

    MAGNUM are one of the few British bands that still keep the flame of the real hard rock alive in our days. Main men behind them, Tony Clarkin and Bob Catley, celebrated the 20 th anniversary release date of their biggest selling album “Wings Of Heaven” by playing the entire album live during their European tour last year and it was just a matter of time until it get released on CD. The “Wings Of Heaven live” contains the entire album recorded live plus some of their greatest hits like “How Far Jerusalem”, “Kingdom Of Madness” or All England’s Eyes” on a second disc. Along with the old classics, are some songs from their excellent latest release, last year, “Princess Alice & The Broken Arrow”, which are for the very first time released as live versions on this cracking double CD. I you know what MAGNUM are about you won’t be disappointed. Bombastic guitars, pomp chorus, massive hook lines, pounding drums, and the elegance that describes Tony Clarkin playing all the years, since they moved from the prog camp. Above and add to all, the fine voice of Bob Cately, one of the most powerful melodic rock voices ever came from UK, who can easily stand near to Ian Gillan, Bernie Saw and Tony Martin, just to refer to some of the best rock vocalists , of his time. This is a live album; you will open your wings and fly to heaven listening to them. Magnificent MAGNUM!
