Rendered Waters - CD

Product Description

It is not the success of the early days which Lenny Wolf associates Kingdom Come with, nor earlier hits from

his long-standing career. What he really cares about is the present. Is this a contradiction in view of his new

album Rendered Waters (out on 28 March 2011 in Europe, 25 March 2011 in Germany, and on April 5th 2011

in the US), which features eight old and three newly recorded songs? Certainly not. All eleven tracks were

cut at Lenny s Two Square Noise Factory studio in Hamburg, Germany. In particular, the new recordings of

old material show Kingdom Come s vision of living in the here and now. I purposely chose tracks from the

very early days to show how we play, hear and feel the songs nowadays, says Wolf. Listening habits have

changed dramatically, especially among the younger audience, which made it exciting for me to breathe new

life into numbers which have not been heard for a while.

For example Should I , this time played more slowly lending it a heavier

appeal. The drums are more open and the guitars, according to

Lenny, feature a more tube-oriented sound and warmer, more driving tone: Just to give it an overall

2011 vibe. Of course, you can only change songs to a certain extent if you don t want to lose the character

and central theme of the original version. The same goes for I ve Been Trying , Pushing Hard

and Living Out Of Touch . None of them has been reinvented, but all three certainly have a noticeably

new approach to them. On the other hand, Lenny changed the verse of I ve Been Trying completely,

giving it a different arrangement, just like he transported the song Seventeen into the year 2011.

Seventeen has always been kind of a key song for Kingdom Come, yet it has never received much

attention since it has a very non-commercial approach and is either loved or hated, but with the new

version it will hopefully get the recognition it deserves.
