Shogun (Stormwitch album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shogun was the seventh album released by Stormwitch in 1994. It is probably the most controversial of Stormwitch's albums and poorly received by fans due to its almost entirely different sound, with progressive elements and very little of their classic heavy metal styles. It also marked the end of their original span which has lasted from 1982 - 1994. The album was the first to feature only one guitarist, making a four member band. The Line up at this point was
- Andy Mück alias Andy Aldrian (vocals)
- Damir Uzunovic (guitars)
- Martin Albrecht (bass)
- Peter Langer (drums)
