Any fans of Angelica here?

I've been into this band since I was just a kid. They played a very melodic form of hair metal. Very good guitarist in Dennis Cameron. I wish he was around more these days. His last band (Cynical Limit) seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

Anyway - any fans here? Rob Rock sang lead vocals on their first album. They only released 4 total, but I like all of them.

I have the s/t and walkin in faith. I actually just picked up both those only recently...like last week. Cool band, I wasnt expecting such a melodic metal thing though.

Yeah, they're very melodic.

"Walkin in Faith" is my favorite, but they are all good.

1. Walkin in Faith
2. Angelica
3. Lock, Stock and Barrell
4. Time Is All It Takes

I dig Angelica. My favorite is also "Walkin In Faith," though I like them all.

I didn't know Dennis Cameron did any thing else. Was Cynical Limit similar to Angelica?

Yes and no. Cynical Limit has a completely different sound, but it's still pretty heavy rock. The 'melodic metal' aspect is gone. But it's just good straight up hard rock, with a more modern sound. It's pretty good though, but nothing as good as Angelica.

They only released one album and apparently disappeared off the face of the planet.

I bought the first Angelica CD as a new release. I thought it was OUTSTANDING and still do to this day. Rob Rock and Ken Tamplin both are great vocalists. I thought 'Walkin' in Faith' was great too. The vocalist is quite different from Rob Rock, but still has a charismatic, distinctive voice.

1. Angelica
2. Walkin' in Faith
3. Lock, Stock and Barrell
4. Time Is All It Takes

Walkin' In Faith is my favorite...

I like Angelica as well, but the songs on Walkin' In Faith just grab me..."Sing And Shout", "All I Can Do", the title track...great stuff.

My favorite song on Angelica is "Face To Face"...the only song Rob Rock doesn't sing...

Those who were in So. Calif back then remember Drew singing for Roxway before joining Angelica. He doesn't have the power and range of say Rob Rock, Ken Tamplin, or the other Angelica singer, what's his name .... Oh yeah, Andy. But Drew had personality and charisma.

I saw these guys Drew singing and they were great. Don't remember if I saw them with Andy or not?

Ehhh, they're OK I guess. I picked up ROCK STOCK & BARREL some time ago cuz I liked the song "Cover Me." Never bothered to investigate them further.

That's kind of a boring album...the 2 before it are much better.

I only have Rock, Stock & Barrel. It's a dust gatherer in the vault.

My fav by this band is Cover Me and Dangerzone

I like 'em all. VERY good band--the kind I like to listen to when I'm feeling chipper.

I concur.

I have all their albums, and remember listening to the debut a lot. But now I can't seem to remember one single song from them!

I like the first s/t album. Danger Zone is a cool song.

I was lucky to find years ago in Budapest their second album on tape, in a bible shop. I dont care about religion but i was walking in the streets and from outside i saw some tapes. I first thought it was a record shop. When i walked in i saw many bibles and then i looked at the tapes. i found DELIVERANCE debut album, RECON album, TORNIQUET first album, SACRED WARRIOR two tapes and some other. Really a great buy.
I have the debut album on vinyl but dont know about their 3 and 4 album.

Take those albums out and blow the dust off em. Give em a fresh spin - and you'll be singing along!

That's how it was with me too. I just recently played some Angelica, and was surprised how good they really were! I was singing along and playing air-guitar in no time.

I've been an Angelica fan for about 20 years now! Still dig 'em!

This band is on my want list.

Same here bro!!!

I loved the first two, but felt that there was too much filler on the last couple. Great guitarist, and very much music to be upbeat to!

"Oh -oh -oh, I'm in the danger zone!" Great stuff.
