“We did it again, ha ha ha ha,” that is how Vengeance’s 1987 classic Take It Or Leave It starts off. Although a lot has changed over the years since their breakthrough album Leon Goewie, the driving force of the band, has certainly managed to once again put Vengeance back on track after a difficult time. Having gone through a lot of musical ups and downs, personal issues, the sudden and untimely death of guitarist and friend Jan Somers last year, you might say they have reached an all time low.

So much to everyone’s surprise, a new era has kicked in and another gem Crystal Eye see’s the light of day. With new players, help from some old friends and a new record company, SPV, the future looks bright again for Vengeance. The album’s sensational all-star cast is just as spectacular as the new material. Alongside original vocalist Leon Goewie, Crystal Eye features drummer Chris Slade (ex-AC/DC), guitarist Keri Kelli (ex-Alice Cooper), and bassist Chris Glen (Michael Schenker Group). This line up is also known as Chris Slade’s AC/DC cover band Steel Circle that plays throughout Europe.

The material for Crystal Eye, Goewie composed mostly in collaboration with producer Michael Voss (Mad Max, ex Vengeance), except for the title track written by former Vengeance guitarist Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One). The CD consists of 11 straight forward, kick you in the face songs. They all have that quality of being melodic, good sing along songs, with strong choruses while keeping that crunchy edge, do to Kelli’s guitar playing. Kelli is also helped by Michael Voss and Timo Somers (Jan’s son and also ex-Vengeance).

Even after 30 years Goewie is still exploring and developing his vocal abilities as he already has a very unique recognizable voice. As he sings in a lower register on parts of “Back To The Bone” and also the beautiful ballad “Missing,” Gary Barden (MSG) comes to mind. The beautiful bluesy ballad “Promise Me” brings out the pain and more serious side of Vengeance. You have to strap on the seat belts for “Whole Lotta Metal,” a number which Tony Martin (ex-Black Sabbath) contributed tailor-made for Goewie and Vengeance, rocks you socks off.

The album closes with the instrumental, “Jan’s End Piece,” which features the last solo recordings of Jan Somers as a tribute to him. Jan will not be forgotten as the band use the old Vengeance logo as an arch between the past and the future. The only negative remark on the album is the title song “Crystal Eye,” although a great song, is a little out of place when compared to the rest of the album.

Review:
On their last album Phil Mogg and company ratcheted things up a few notches -- the result was the no frills 2009 album The Visitor. The latest UFO offering is entitled Seven Deadly, and features grotesque artwork that appears to have been created with Microsoft's paint program -- its cringe worthy.
Album cover aside the music found within Seven Deadly is a continuation of the foundation (of this incarnation of the band) laid with 2004's You Are Here. Phil Mogg isn't an extraordinary singer by any means, but he does a magnificent job and is the right guy for UFO. Mogg remains the wily silver fox with the dry British sense of humor and the notebooks filled with clever lyrics -- "Fight Night" is evidence of this.
On this, album number four of the Vinnie Moore era, UFO have delivered yet another astounding, solid, and melodic classic rock record. Once again Mooredisplays a great feel for what the songs need rather than laying down meaningless notes and riffs simply for the sake of doing so -- he has also injected a bluesy feel to the albums that he's played on, at the direction of Mogg. This is a great move that has given this version of the band its own identity.
The standout tracks on Seven Deadly include "Wonderland", which has a great hook and a spectacular solo, and "Mojo Town", with its memorable groove, great driving riff and verbose solo. Ballads have been a UFO strong suit over the years, with "Angel Station" and "Waving Goodbye" continuing that tradition.Seven Deadly also succeeds with "The Last Stoner Rider", a great memorable mid-tempo track, and "Fight Night", a rambunctious rocker that rivals "Hell Driver" from The Visitor.
In 2012, despite the departure of Pete Way due to health reasons -- things are well in UFO land.

One of Kory Clarke's paintings featured in the artwork on this here cd is a 5x3 canvas of the Union Jack with the slogan 'God Shag The Queen' emblazoned across it. That's how punk rock he is and how much he doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. Always passionate and controversial whether it be his music, his art or his political views the Warrior Soul frontman has never been one to stand in the shadows, preferring to shout from the highest point to anyone who will listen.

'Opium Hotel II' is a collaboration with some of Kory's friends and artists such as Gary Hood who wrote the fantastic title track from the first 'Opium Hotel' album. He also wrote and played guitar here on the similar 'Masquerade Party' a simple, almost desolate sounding acoustic track that puts across a feeling of loneliness, it stands apart from the rest as did 'Opium Hotel' on the original.

'Opium Hotel II' like its predecessor is an outlet for all the stuff that doesn't fit in the Warrior Soul shaped hole, more experimental and arty. Lyrically he is still spitting at the USA and the government, that will never change until they make him president I reckon.

The album opens with 'A Message From Mr. Harris' a Government public announcement tape about recognising the early warning signs of drug dependancy, this segues into 'Best Birthday Ever' the first of several of his trademark spoken word pieces, this one shows the more gentle side of Kory's lyrics

First song proper 'America's New Cunt' is a verbal tirade describing Corporate America as a 200 year old bikini wearing slut,"Who's the new slut, America's new cunt" is the refrain, guaranteeing Kory no new friends in the government, not that he would want any! It ends with a "come on...CUNT" - who else can get away with stuff like that?

'Kiss On This' harks back to 'Space Age Playboys' era Warrior Soul; a fantastic slice of sleazy, punk rock it's fast and furious - I can listen to stuff like this all day. Lucky for me there is more of the same in the shape of 'Super Drug'; incidentally Kory plays the drums on both these tracks. 'Junky Stripper' is a dumb ass rock song, with a Rob Zombie like vibe, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Of the spoken word material 'I'm Your Pilot' stands out, with trippy beats as his back up Kory takes the helm and addresses his passengers - take his trip over Manhattan if you dare; let's just say it's an unnerving, bumpy ride.

The atmospheric and acoustic driven 'It's My Time', with its short and sweet twin guitar solo, and the tripped out 'Painting Space Ships', are more like vintage Warrior Soul to me. The only oddity that doesn't really do it for me at this early stage of listening is 'Paradigm', but only time will tell.

The production varies from track to track but it doesn't feel disjointed, it's a departure from the Warrior Soul albums for sure. An interesting collection of material; I guess it's a snapshot in a year of the life of Kory Clarke, and one that is well worth exploring.

On the cover of this cd it says "Parental Advisory: This Recording Contains Art" - a subtle dig at the powers that be and freedom of speech, it sure does contain art in many forms. Fans of Kory Clarke will love it as will fans of Warrior Soul, many others may scratch their heads and say "what the fuck?"...job done I believe.
