ALASKA (Bernie Marsden) – Heart Of The Storm 1984 [remastered +3 bonus], MP3+FLAC
Bernie Marsden left Whitesnake after (or during depending on who you believe) the Saints & Sinners album. That band were never the same again as they lost one of their three main songwriting forces.

Alaska was founded and led by former Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden, and after the first album release, the band toured Europe as the opening act for Manowar. A quite rare pairing, as Alaska had a very commercial, radio-friendly sound heavy on synthesizers.
