Bio:

Victory is a German heavy metal and hard rock band from Hanover, most successful in the 1980s. With extensive tours and radio airplay, the band also made a breakthrough in North America.Victory was formed in 1984 from the remnants of the band Fargo. Bassist Peter Knorn, the two guitarists Tommy Newton and John Lockton and drummer Bernie Van de Graaf had all previously worked together in that band. After originally working with singer Pedro Schemm, former Gary Moore- and Ted Nugent-singer Charlie Huhn became the band's singer. Recommended by Scorpions' guitarist Rudolph Schenker, the band sign a management deal with David Krebs (who managed, among others, Scorpions and Aerosmith).A self-titled album appeared in 1985 on CBS Records to mild controversy because of the cover art: a scantily-dressed woman lying on her back with her legs spread, forming a V. The hype worked and the album made the charts. But before the first US tour, drummer Van de Graaf was replaced by Fritz Randow (ex-Eloy). Apart from playing 60 concerts, the band was also in the two largest festivals of the country, Day In The Green in Oakland before 60,000 and the Texxas Jam in front of over 80,000 spectators. After his return to Germany, John Lockton was replaced by the former Accept guitarist, Herman Frank.With their second album Don't Get Mad... Get Even the band again toured through Europe and America and the single Check's In The Mail gave them a radio hit in the USA. The third album Hungry Hearts came out in 1987 leading to yet more European and North American live work. A concert in Hamburg was recorded for a live album, which appeared in 1988 under the title That's Live. After its release, Huhn left the band, in order to join Humble Pie. For his replacement the band auditioned, among others, later Thunderhead-frontman Ted Bullet, but eventually decided for a 22-year-old Swiss, Fernando Garcia.The fourth album Culture Killed The Native achieved #19 in the German charts and also entered the charts in the USA again. A Europe tour as support for Gary Moore followed, before Victory started their first headline tour through America, as well as their first concert in Canada. Both Singles Never Satisfied and Don't Tell No Lies again received airplay on Radio and MTV. By 1990 a second studio album with Garcia was released: Temples Of Gold appeared in the top 20 in Germany and the first edition of it added a six song live EP, of recordings made in Los Angeles. An additional US-Tour followed, before 1992 the Album You Bought It You Name It was released.Victory now ranked alongside Scorpions, Accept and Helloween as the most successful German band but announced their split in 1994 with the double live album Liveline. But two years later they returned with the new album Voiceprint. Frank was replaced by the new, then Los Angeles–based guitarist Jake Paland (who has also worked with PFL, Timo Maas and Jimmy Somerville amongst others), and Randow by Matthias Liebetruth (who some years later would play for Running Wild). The album's release was accompanied by an extensive tour and the single releases Deep Inside The World and Cyberia, of which the latter again received airplay on all major music-TV channels. Varying personal interests among the band members though led to the final dissolution for the band.Newton made a name as a producer (he worked on Helloween's Keeper of the seven keys), Knorn became manager of Uli Jon Roth, Glenn Hughes and Michael Schenker. Huhn joined (in 2000) Foghat and Garcia (from 2004) sang for Swiss metal band Godiva. Randow in the meantime played for Saxon, Liebetruth became drummer for Running Wild and Paland continued working as a studio guitarist and focusing on his own projects.In 2002, rumours of a reunion of Victory started. Garcia declined to participate, which made it all the more surprising that in 2003, the album Instinct appeared with the almost original lineup of Huhn, Newton, Frank, Knorn and Randow. Victory played some concerts in Russia and Bulgaria as well as Wacken Open Air - a festival in northern Germany. Since Huhn was living in America, tour activities were difficult and he was again replaced, now with Jioti Parcharidis, the singer of Human Fortress.With Parcharidis, the band released the album Fuel To The Fire, containing re-recordings of their best-known songs in January 2006. Thereafter yet another line-up change followed. Randow left Victory and was replaced by former Sanvoisen drummer Achim Keller. Appearances followed at Bang Your Head!!! and Sweden Rock-festival as well as a European tour in support of Metal Church in May and June 2007. Four years later the band released Don't Talk Science in what they were calling their final album. The album was recorded in 2009 and was releasecd in May 2011 on Label Golden Core /ZYX music.In 2013 Herman Frank who is member with Accept since their reunion in 2009 decided to continue Victory together with singer Jioti Parcharidis, guitarist Christos Mamalitsidis, Peter Pichl on bass guitar Running Wild and drummer Michael Wolpers. Since their first show at Rock of Ages-festival in July 2013 Victory keeps on succeeding. So upcoming rumours can´t be stopped about recording the next Victory album.

Album:

The band’s second release ‘Don’t Get Mad…Get Even’ was released in 1986 and repeated the great success of their debut release. The single ‘Check’s In The Mail’ became a big radio hit in the USA. Today, ‘Don’t Get Mad…Get Even” is a rare, long-time out of print collector’s item which now was re-mastered for a re-issue CD release on Yesterrock by the kind courtesy of Universal Music Germany.YESTERROCK will re-release the VICTORY classic "Don't Get Mad Get Even" on 1st of August, 2014.In the Eighties there was a real boom in terms of quality Hard Rock from Germany. Scorpions, Bonfire, Mad Max, Steeler, Sinner or Fargo proved that the genre was not only a British / US bulwark.Precisely Victory was formed in 1984 from the remnants of Fargo; bassist Peter Knorn, the two guitarists Tommy Newton & John Lockton and drummer Bernie Van der Graaf had all previously worked together in that act.They tried several vocalists, finally the excellent former Gary Moore / Ted Nugent vocalist Charlie Huhn became the band’s singer.After the release of the self-titled debut album in 1985, the line-up changed again when drummer Fritz Randow replaced Van der Graaf and killer axeman Herman Frank (later in Accept) replaced John Lockton.Victory's second album "Don’t Get Mad…Get Even" was released in 1986 and instantly become a metal fan favorite.This is pure Hard Rock following the verse-chorus-verse formula perfectly; breaks, pre-choruses, bridges, the catchy chorus and leads are all exactly where they should be.Sonically they are massive; assassin sharp / edgy twin guitar attack, blasting drums, a vocalist born to sing this type music an a bass that works more like a guitar adding a lot of depth.And the songs... no fillers, all killers.Opener "Check's In The Mail" is an all-time classic, even becoming a little Rock Radio hit in the USA, followed by another monster track in "Are You Ready", one of the best '80s Euro hard rock anthems ever.Both songs - featured in the remixed versions, which appeared on the only available CD release of the album, the vinyl cuts are different - worth the disc alone.But all, as said, rock awesomely: the groovy "Not Me", the superb ballad "Arsonist Of The Heart", the fast "Hit And Run" (you can't resist that title), the catchy "Seven Days Without You Make One Weak" or the ultra-cool "Running Wild" are witnessing an extremely talented band.Despite Victory would obtain their peek of popularity in 1989 with the great album Culture Killed The Native (the first with singer Fernando Garcia) for me - and many fans - this "Don't Get Mad… Get Even" is their finest moment.We're talking here about a fundamental piece in Hard Rock history, a classic. If you never heard it, you'll be blown away.And even more with this 2014 remastering; the sound obtained is awesome, punchy, devastating.They don't make such kick ass records like this anymore.
