What a difference a year makes. After releasing the thoroughly disappointing Come an' Get It, Whitesnake made up for it in spades with 1982's excellent Saints & Sinners, their best record yet. Perhaps it was the arrival of new guitarist Mel Galley (replacing founding member Bernie Marsden) that re-energized the band…
The debut album of Slovakian six-piece band SINNERS MOON, “Atlantis”, is a new rough gemstone of the Symphonic and Gothic Metal kind. From the first song on, “Inner Demons” you can hear SINNERS MOON has already manifested themselves as a solid Symphonic Metal band, and that they clearly have a lot more potential in their ranks…
Saints & Sinners were a short-lived, yet exceptional melodic mainstream rock band formed from the ashes of heavy metal band Sword.
Ex-Sword members Rick Hughes (vocals) and Jeff Salem (drums) recruited Stephane Dufour (guitar), Martin Balduc (bass) and former Aldo Nova, Night Ranger and U.F.O. keyboardist Jesse Bradman to form the group. Aldo Nova performed on and produced their slick hard rocking debut album. The album should have made them superstars, but being on an independent label and the influx of grunge music into the mainstream led to Saints & Sinners being severely overlooked. The band toured for the release and broke up shortly after.
