Ring Of Fire (ROF) are back with a Neoclassical tribute album to the WWII Battle of Leningrad (Russia vs. Nazi Germany). ROF are a true “supergroup,” led by vocalist Mark Boals, guitarist Tony MacAlpine, and keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij… arguably three of the best at their respective trades. Because of the inherent talent, Battle Of Leningrad is one of those albums that you WANT to be great… and there are indeed moments of true greatness musically… but by and large Boals’ story line is cumbersomely weaved into the music, and disappointingly so, the album feels disorganized and uninspired.

    Dan is a former partner at Metal Express Radio, and also served as a reviewer, photographer and interviewer on occasions. Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
