EXTREME was one of the later arrivals on the US Melodic Hard Rock / Hair Metal scene to achieve massive success, so were among the latest to receive the 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition re-release, remastered treatment for their second album, the successful “Pornograffitti”.
By the time the album hit the shelves in 1990, a little (nasty) thing called grunge was starting to take off, but “EXTREME II: Pornograffitti” – subtitled (A Funked Up Fairy Tale) – gained a classic status and rave reviews upon its release and decades after, this double disc reissue wets the appetite once again.
This Deluxe Edition reissue includes a full second CD of rare mixes, versions and out of print B-sides

KINGDOM COME – Master Seven [Black Label Edition] 2004, MP3+FLAC
Lenny Wolf’s KINGDOM COME returned to Germany in the early ’90s and continued with the band’s classic sound, fortunately not riding the wagon of that decade Rock mainstream trend. After the solid 1995 release ‘Twilight Cruiser’, Lenny wrote, recorded, produced & mixed this next KINGDOM COME album titled “Master Seven”.
Sonically similar to its predecessor, “Master Seven” is perhaps less hard rocking and more melodic, moody, ‘Kashmir-inspired‘ classic rock. A fairly mellow album, that’s not to say it’s all ballads, though there are plenty of those here, such as the melancholic “Can’t Let Go” and “Gonna Try”.
“Slow Down” is one of the more upbeat tracks, this one remin
