DOMAIN (ex Kingdom) – Before The Storm (1989) HQ
With the fresh remastered reissue of ”Lost In The City”, the only album German melodic rockers Kingdom released under this moniker before changing their name to DOMAIN, there’s this album, their second, that you need in your collection: “Before The Storm“.
By 1989, the only line-up change in DOMAIN was the drummer, the rest of the Kingdom / Lost In The City personnel remained intact, and also their brand of classic melodic (hard) rock / AOR.
“Before The Storm” is wonderful collection of melodic keyboard / guitar driven tunes and smooth rockers mixed with AOR gems such as ‘Lost Without Trace’ (incredible midtempo atmospheres), the pompy ‘I Can See The Light’ (bring to mind Giuffria), of the terrific ‘Hearts of Stone’.
An ’80s little gem.
