| The story of this Copenhagen-based Danish melodic rock band began in 1985, when former MERCYFUL FATE guitarist Hank Sherman (René Krolmark), MAXIM-singer Jeff Lox Limbo (Jens Meinert), bass / keyboard player Pete Steiner (Peter Steincke) and drummer Bob Lance (Bjarne Holm) met and found FATE. After only three weeks they were offered their first major record deal with the EMI and recorded the band's self-titled debut album, produced by MERCYFUL FATE-engineer Henrik Lund. This album clearly shows the band's ability to write powerful rock songs and its keen sense of catchy choruses. Being called "The Danish version of Van Halen" by the press, the band has quickly built a fan base and went on to record four more albums. In 1987, founding member Hank Sherman left the band to return to his heavier roots and was replaced by the new guitar-ist Mysterious Mr. Moth (Jacob Moth) and keyboard player Floyd Lafayette (Flemming Rothaus). With producer Simon Hanhart (Bryan Adams, Asia, 21 Guns, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marillion) the band recorded CRUISIN' FOR A BRUISIN' in 1988, which features the ultra-catchy "Lovers" (released as a single plus videoclip in 1988) and a new version of "Love on the Rox" from the band's debut. Now, FATE's third album "Cruisin For Bruisin" and their debut "Fate" is finally getting its well-deserved digitally remas-tered re-issue as the original CD release has been out of print since more than fifteen years. "Fate" even features a bo-nus track! 80's Melodic Rock at its best! | |
