Whitesnake is one of the most important hard rock bands ever
and a lot of fans were beside themselves with happiness when the original
members Micky Moody, Bernie Marsden and Neil Murray came back together in the
late nineties under the new name The Company Of Snakes. After a live album
release in January and a successful European tour they have now written more
than enough material to finish a new studio album. Except for the three
original members from Whitesnake the line-up also features the drummer John
Lingwood (Manfred Mann's Earthband, Roger Chapman, Elkie Brooks) and the
Swedish vocalist Stefan Berggren. The music is perhaps not as full of energy
and power as it was back in the glory days of Whitesnake but as you can notice
already from the first short intro track of this album these guys are world
class musicians even though they are rather old by now. The music is actually
quite good yet somewhat soft hard rock with plenty of bluesy influences. The
spirit of Whitesnake continues to live on through this album but it is still
the albums from the late 70's and early 80's that you will remember these
guys by. The biggest disappointment of this album is actually the vocalist who
sound really weak compared to David Coverdale. This is still a good solid new
release but if you don't like soft hard rock you should probably stay away
from this album.
