In putting this album together Joe Lynn Turner may well have been influenced by recent world events over the last couple of years.

[12] They sang together " Street of Dreams". Carry my cross, I stand betrayed,” sings Joe, “my crucifixion is your disgrace.” Wow, you’d never hear him sing like that in Rainbow, but perhaps one of his predecessors might have done it. And there it is, a hidden, unspoken influence that seems to be there throughout, an influence that Turner embraces and makes his own. It’s been a long time since I listened to Joe Lynn Turner. Probably 1984 and Rainbow’s ‘Bent Out of Shape’ if I’m brutally honest. But my tardiness does the man a disservice, for his catalogue of music is superb. At the age of 71 he’s been able to reveal that he wore a hairpiece since the age of 14, due to a diagnosis of alopecia at the age of three. And for that he deserves huge respect.

I know Graham very well, and that message showed what a compassionate and warm human being he is. Bless him. On the writing side, you have to change and grow to mature. I had this in me. As far as pushing into a heavy vein, Peter said, ‘Joe adapted his voice, ’ which is the truth. It’s still me though. I kept it dirty, gritty, and metal.”

If I’m honest, I’m not an expert on all of the twists and turns of Joe Lynn Turner’s career, but Belly Of The Beast is still utterly removed from what I was expecting. I thought I would get an album of sophisticated, mid-road and not particularly threatening music, yet all delivered by a fantastic voice. George Gakis & Very Special Friends – Too Much Ain't Never Enough (2012) – "Street of Broken Dreams" I have to tell you that since the ’80s, this boy has got angry, this boy has got bad, and we’re only on the second song. All credit to the production as well. This is smoothly crafted Metal that still keeps its edge, and I’m hooked and willingly taken along for the ride. Joe’s voice is perhaps a shade lower than I remember, but he’s lost none of his smooth power. That’s a sheer pleasure to listen to. This is dark. This is ominous. This is brooding. Goddam, this is good. days ago Two Door Cinema Club have announced a massive concert for summer 2024 with a show at Custom House Square, Belfast on Thursday 15th August 2024. Anger and pain are a great tool. If applied correctly, it could develop you to become the best version of yourself. Instead of running away, I was ‘’hiding in plain sight”.When you look at the book of Revelation, there it is. I’ve always dipped into esoteric knowledge, Hermeticism, Occultism, Bible research, Eclectic philosophy. I’ve been fascinated with discovery of hidden mysteries.

Mr. Big Tribute – Influences and Connections (2003) – "Colorado Bulldog", "Daddy Brother Lover Little Boy" Rise Up” sums up the vision with a catchy clarion call. “It says we’ve been deceived and lied to,” he goes on. “We’re not going to take it anymore. Rise up, because they will trample you if you don’t. You have to fight to be free.” It happened completely by accident, but some of the best things happen by accident,” Turner notes. “I was not very familiar with Peter’s bands Pain and Hypocrisy, but when we met, I loved his personality, and I felt like we had a chemistry together. On the writing side, you have to change and grow to mature. I had this in me. As far as pushing into a heavy vein, Peter said, ‘Joe adapted his voice,’ which is the truth. It’s still me though. I kept it dirty, gritty, and metal.” It’s all about the ritual and the Serpent God of Fear, which is Lucifer,” he notes. “Who creates the spell upon Mankind. If you believe in good, you must believe in evil. It’s the Yin and Yang of life. They must co-exist, it’s simple physics. I was in touch with them way before, and if we’d put a Rainbow extravaganza together with the singers and players from the past it would have been enormous. But someone told Ritchie that I wanted a million dollars, which of course wasn’t true, so in the end Ritchie did what he did.

It happened completely by accident, but some of the best things happen by accident,” Joe notes. “I was not very familiar with Peter’s bands Pain and Hypocrisy, but when we met, I loved his personality, and I felt like we had a chemistry together.

I kept it dirty, gritty, and metal.” Requiem is the absolute ideal name for the album’s final song. And it’s a song of life’s end, a sombre reflection of desperation, of barren regret. It’s also got an orchestral, Steinman-like big production sense about it, and it brings the curtain down on the album with a sense of great theatre. You just couldn’t predict the song’s construction, and that unpredictability is something that runs through the whole album. This is Priest-style speed and Metal. Surprised? Oh yeah. Liking it? Oh YEAH! I’m abducted and taken through orchestral, Accept-like choruses, and I’m asking myself again, is this the same guy who sang in Rainbow? I mean, I’m not complaining. I’m just so, so surprised. This is unexpected with a capital U, and even after just one song, I’m left thinking to myself, Heavy Metal, don’t you just love the curve balls it throws at you? There are no pretensions on this album. You read the title, you hear the lyrics, you know what each song is about, and each one hits you straight between the eyes (sorry, I couldn’t help it). This song has a brooding menace, telling you exactly what motivates our Joe, “your deadly sin, I feel no shame.” Long before you joined Rainbow, you were a Deep Purple fan. Did it feel surreal being in that band?
