Danish
hard rockers Fate was formed back in 1985 by Hank Sherman (Mercyful Fate),
Peter Steincke, Bjarne Holm (Mercyful Fate) and Jeff Limbo. They
released their self-titled debut album in 1985 with great success; the
second album “A Matter of Attitude” released in 1986 was also a
superb piece of hard rock.
Then
in 1988 Hank Sherman left the band and was replaced by Jacob Moth, in
the same Year the “Cruisin’ for a Brusin’” album came out, a
disappointing party rock album.
Up
to the 1990 “Scratch ‘n Sniff” album there was two more line-up
changes, Jacob Moth was replaced by Mattias Eklundh (Frozen Eyes) and
Jeff Limbo was replaced by Per Johansson who sang on one of the most
legendary albums ever released by a Danish band, the self-titled Crystal
Knight LP from 1985. The “Scratch ‘n Sniff” album was more in the
hard rock direction again, but it failed to live up to the earlier stuff
released by Fate.
Fate
broke up in 1993, but resurfaced in 2004 on the Deep Impact Festival in
Germany
, also in 2004 MTM Music re-released “A Matter of Attitude” a year
later “Scratch ‘n Sniff” was re-released,
both albums come with two bonus tracks.
Now
a days Fate consist of Per Johansson, Peter Steincke, Søren Hoff and
Micke Kvist. The new album “V” has been treated with a great
production by Tommy Hansen (Pretty Maids, Helloween, TNT and many more),
the music has been given a facelift everything just sounds great.
“V”
is packed with great hard rock, if you are looking for strong melodies
and catchy songs then you can’t get around this great album.
The
legend is back.
Recommended
tracks: “Butterfly”, “Burned Child” and “Life”.
