Kingdom Come-Live & Unplugged (1996)

Kingdom Come emerged in the late 80s as a consequence of the continuation of the defunct band Stone Fury led by German guitarist Lenny Wolf.
Practically all the members of Stone Fury joined the new project also led by Lenny Wolf, who got a contract with the Polydor record label and published his first honest album in 1988.
This first album gets good sales thanks to the impact of songs like "Get It on" or "What Love Can Be".
However, this first album creates a great controversy in the media for accusing them as clones of Led Zeppelin, due to the influences and the sound tremendously similar to the mythical British band.
Even Ozzy Osbourne and Gary Moore composed the song "Led Clones" which was released on the album "After The War", where they were attacked for their resemblance to the Zeppelin.
In this first album and in the later "In Your Face" the band towards a direct and authentic hard rock, with an elegant and very careful production.
Most of the songs remind us of the hosts of Page and Plant, since they totally sound like that band without falling into the crudest imitation.
In 1996 the band published the album "Live & Unplugged" a kind of review of their most celebrated songs live, plus a second album where the band performed songs in acoustic versions.
Here are the perfect elements for what were considered the successors of Led Zeppelin with a repertoire full of Zeppelian songs with that unmistakable voice of Lenny Wof, which has an amazingly similar range to that of Robert Plant, with a powerful and forceful rhythmic section and some sharp and intense guitars.

Kingdom Come-Kingdom Come (1988)

If there was ever a band that would approach the sound offered by Led Zeppelin, (saving the distances as of course) those were Kingdom Come, a band formed by the German vocalist-guitarist based in the United States, Lenny Wolf.

Kingdom Come was the continuation of another formidable band led by Wolf himself called Stone Fury.

His self-titled album came to us in 1988, was recorded in Vancouver, Canada and was produced by Bob Rock. The band on this first album perfectly demonstrates their Led Zeppelin influences, and so much, that those who did not know the band, hearing their songs on the American FMs believed that Led Zeppelin had reunited and had a new album. That brought them airs of greatness, which caused some problems with the American press, and made Gary Moore and Ozzy Osbourne dedicate the song Led Clones to them to attack them.

However, the controversy caused did not prevent Kingdom come from having a privileged place on the Monsters of Rock tour, who were accompanied by Metallica, Scorpions and at the head, Van Halen. On other dates, they accompanied Bon jovi and Ratt on a Tour of Japan and toured England and Europe, opening the Magnum show.

The album has an air for Led Zeppelin, and apart from the aforementioned highlights such as Now (forever after), Shout it out and Living out of touch.
