Cornerstone In Concert Massacre Records ![]() So little live-experience as Cornerstone and then right away a live-album... So the questions that pops up right away are; is this not a bit early? Is this album any good? Well, it's just bloody excellent. We get 16 superb songs (plus the intro). There's 7 songs of both the "Human Stain" and "Once Upon Our Yesterdays" albums plus just the one from the "Arrival" debut album and last but not least there's a stunning version of Rainbow's "Black Masquerade". The Rainbow cover fits in perfectly with the Cornerstone songs. This band really rocks, there's the awesome vocals of Doogie White, we hear the brilliant guitarist Kasper Damgaard, Rune Brink brings in some very good sounding keyboards and Steen Mogensen (bass) and Allan Sorensen (drums) are a very good and tight rhythm section. The conclusion is obvious, this is an album that is smokin' and I only can recommended it very highly. There are no weak moments, the only disappointing bit is maybe the frontcover which looks pretty dull. There's also a videoclip with footage of the tour included on the 2nd CD. The new Cornerstone studio album is expected sometime spring 2006. Can't wait!
