More Is More 04:23
Be bombastic, it’s so fantastic Didn’t sit well at home Stockholm Sweden to Cali-Eden Bring my axe where I roam Back in Stockholm, you don’t stand out, That’s not what he’s all about Don’t you worry, he’ll unleash the fury His followers are devout Marshalls to the sky Watch my fingers fly People say less is more – they’re wrong More is More – That’s for sure More is More, More is More There’s a wrong way there’s the right way Then there’s the Yngwie No one’s faster on a Stratocaster Plug me in let me play There’s no Marshalls, there’s no smoke Then there won’t be a show High kicks, pick-flips leather and pursed lips Here’s my lead watch me go. Marshalls to the sky Watch my fingers fly People say less is more – they’re wrong More is More – That’s for sure More is More, More is More

A thousand horses carry me Down the highway ‘til I’m free There is nothing else to say Just kick the starter drive away Alone out on the highway, it calls to me The wind is racing through me, just let me be Rolling Thunder When the wheels are on the track Engine roaring When the wind is at your back Lost inside my aching head Awaken demons that I dread The horizon meets the sun It always keeps me on the run Alone out on the highway, it call to me The wind is racing through me, just let me be Rolling Thunder When the wheels are on the track Engine roaring When the wind is at your back

I saw the comet hit, from where I sit There’s nothing of earth that survived There closed the book of life, and all its strife Left by the cosmic divide I have seen the world end in fire Drifting through debris There’s no spirit to rescue me I have seen the world end in fire Drifting through debris Where’s the reaper to rescue me Of men I am the last, of eons past There’s nothing left for my return I long to hear a voice, I made a choice To plot a direction and burn I have seen the world end in fire Drifting through debris There’s no spirit to rescue me I have seen the world end in fire Drifting through debris Where’s the reaper to rescue me Drifting further everyday my origin is far away Eternally drifting through space time capsule of the human race

Get Down 03:25
Traverse this solitary wasteland Florescent lights always at hand It seems this only leads to sadness Not the madness of a band People call me crazy I think they overstep their bounds They say my futures hazy From the edge I hear get down Get Down Get Down Get Down Get Down My instincts have always been true Follow my heart it lead to you My methods may not be tradition But they’re also not sedition People call me crazy I think they overstep their bounds They say my futures hazy From the edge I hear get down Get Down Get Down Get Down Get Down

Sitting home all alone Relaxing a bit you answer the phone Strange that there’s no one there A violent attack out of no where Tied to a filthy bed Blood stains and bleach and stench of the dead You’re only free in your mind All of your dreams are now left behind Never disobey what I said And I know, you’ll dream of someone instead Close your eyes Run – Chased like you’re the head of the pack Running and you never look back Live through the attack Run – running just as fast as you can Escaping certain death is the plan You’re the living damned Time has elapsed for years Submitting to violence choking on tears Dream of a different fate Exact your revenge and purge all your hate Never disobey what I said And I know, you’ll dream of someone instead Close your eyes Run – Chased like you’re the head of the pack Running and you never look back Live through the attack Run – running just as fast as you can Escaping certain death is the plan You’re the living damned Now that you’re finally free Remember the person you used to be

Say My Name 03:38
Got no values Got no limits Don’t need no friends in the empire business OHHHHH Trade my old life for cash and guns When the man comes knocking You know that I’m the one Just say my name Just say my name Faster, Louder Knowledge, Power Best tread lightly when you say my name I’m no victim Not in this life All that I do, I do for my kids and my wife Clear as crystal I make my stand Hand on the pistol You know damned well who I am Just say my name Just say my name Faster, Louder Knowledge, Power Best tread lightly when you say my name Just say my name Just say my name Faster, Louder Knowledge, Power Best tread lightly when you say my name (your god damned right)

Eye To Eye 04:03
I may have waited just too long To set right this evil wrong Buried deep within the ground Break the surface with a sound Nothing can stop this ending It’s clear from the looks you’re sending Of our fabricated lives There’s no communication Never a conversation But I can see it in your eyes I want to see you eye to eye 30 years have come to pass Imprisoned behind shattered glass I won’t go gently into night Rage against the dying light. Nothing can stop this ending It’s clear from the looks you’re sending Of our fabricated lives There’s no communication Never a conversation But I can see it in your eyes I want to see you eye to eye

Witch Wizard 04:15
You ride at midnight But we don’t know if you’ll fight Forsaking foresight You stay up until the morning light Witch wizard do you want to be Play your roll pretend you’re free Witch wizard will you roll the dice Are you prepared to pay the price Alone in bed Except for the dreams dancing in your head A social outcast Find refuge in a world that won’t last Witch wizard do you want to be Play your roll pretend you’re free Witch wizard will you roll the dice Are you prepared to pay the price Witch wizard do you want to be play your roll pretend your free Witch wizard will you roll the dice Are you prepared to pay- Witch wizard finding your own way Whatever you its O- Witch wizard always play alone- When will you move out on your own?

Printing my ticket out before I hit the road I know we can’t be late not gonna miss the show Savoring every last drop of beer out in the lot Short skirts and cut off shorts the scenery is hot Open the door start in the back My senses are under attack Sound waves lift me up off the floor Hear a thousand heartbeats as I close the door Heart pulsating like I’ve never know Time to move to the front row Put a patch on my jacket Raise my fist to the sky Rock and roll rebellion This is my battle cry The temperature goes up I can’t get enough The volume will increase if you don’t like it tough Denim and leather with patches cascading with hair I’m gonna bang my head with my fist in the air! Open the door start in the back My senses are under attack Sound waves lift me up off the floor Hear a thousand heartbeats as I close the door Heart pulsating like I’ve never know Time to move to the front row Put a patch on my jacket Raise my fist to the sky Rock and roll rebellion This is my battle cry

When Caesar crossed the Rhine Magnus Germania he'd find Germanic tribes run free He vowed to conquer thee Surround you Confound you Berserkers battle through We never Surrender We are our lands defender Krieg steht bevor Rise up And conquer Rise up 2 millennia gone by To Germany I fly Drink biers at the Blackland At Waken's where I made my stand The music Oktober Drank beers till I fell over We never Surrender We are metal's defender Krieg steht bevor Rise up And conquer Rise up Oh oh oh oh

about

The Californians SPACE VACATION are already well known to many followers of our back catalogue. Already two years ago the outstanding, second album "Heart Attack" has been released through Pure Steel. Now the quartet will unleash a successor called "Cosmic Vanguard".

With their well known style the Americans remain loyal to their old work. Melodic US Metal, provided with a decent dose of NWoBHM, will fascinate fans of those genres completely. Musical parallels to High Spirits (especially within the vocal lines) can't be ignored by listening to "Cosmic Vanguard". The clear, organic production gives additional depth to all eleven tracks. Detailed, strong lead guitar parts, done by ex-Vicious Rumors-guitarist Kiyoshi Morgan, are a decent, musical crown of a sophisticated, soulful Metal album!

Timeless, classical Metal on the highest level: The Underground will appreciate it!
