    Mk II was the second album of the British blues-rock band Steamhammer.

    Background

    Not selling as many records as they had hoped, Steamhammer nevertheless became a top European open-air attraction, mainly due to their excellent live performance. For over two hours each night they would provide instrumental improvisations, exemplarised by the guitar work of Martin Pugh and the harmonica of Kieran White. In summer 1969, Martin Quittenton left the band, followed by drummer Michael Rushton. They were replaced by Steve Jolliffe (saxophone, flute) and Mick Bradley (drums).

    Jollife's feel for precise arrangements and jazz influences especially inspired the recording of this second Mk II album. Going beyond the boundaries of traditional blues forms, the band members applied their musical creativity and imagination without the need for technical trickery.

    Track listing

  • "Supposed to Be Free" (White)
  • "Johnny Carl Morton" (Jollife)
  • "Sunset Chase" (Pugh)
  • "Contemporary Chick Con Song" (Steamhammer)
  • MK II (Masterplan album)

    MK II is the third album by the German power metal band Masterplan, so called because it features a new band line-up due to the departure of singer Jørn Lande and drummer Uli Kusch.

    It's the first and only album to feature former Riot vocalist Mike DiMeo and the first to feature acclaimed drummer Mike Terrana.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Mk II

    by: Masterplan

    Head in my hands on a cold and lonely night
    Blood in my veins working hard to keep me right
    In this darkness hell is raging all around
    Nothing new, same old hatred we have found
    No mind to let you go... Would you do the same for me?
    Enemy... why you fight so hard?
    I'm just a player in your game
    Broken memories dancing on the wall
    Pictures of another time
    Painting nightmares and sharing alibis
    Does this darkness make you blind?
    Enemy... why you run so far?
    Fighting till your dying day
    Enemy... Covering your scars
    Why have you lost your way?
    Enemy... why you run so far?
    Fighting till your dying day
    Enemy... Covering your scars
    Why have you lost your way?
