Album Description 2002 album for the long neglected U.S. metal act. The story goes...Fozzy signed to a Japanese label over 20 years ago. The label went bankrupt & the band was stranded in Japan where they all found menial jobs to bankroll their heavy metal dreams. Bootlegs & demos found their way to the rest of the world, inspiring the NWOBHM movement etc & heavy metal legends falsely claimed Fozzy songs as their own. Fozzy have returned to set the record straight. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSuper-cranked music done right VampireHunterP | 05/08/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great album!! I've been listening to hard rock, heavy metal, whatever you want to call it, for 35 years. Not much catches my ear these days, and I've had it with the angry posturing nu-metal boys. When Happenstance (the song) was played my local metal station, I was immediately taken by it, and had to call the station to see who it was! This is a straight up effort of great musicianship. It has power, art, emotion, and you just want to crank it up. We need more music like this. Great job to all concerned!" The Next Big Thing? VampireHunterP | 01/03/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Fozzy are a great band that started out a strictly covers, but now have released a new album full of their own material, All That Remains. On this album Fozzy play songs by Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, The Scorpions, Iron Maiden, WASP, and Accept. Their are also 4 original songs and a neat instrumental intro. This album is also enhanced. If you put this in your computer you can see a photo gallery and a live video for Balls To The Wall. The singer, Mongoose McQueen, is actually WWE wrestler Chris Jericho, and boy can he belt it out. Fans of Dio and Accept should give this album a spin." L.O.V.E. MACHINE!!! spiders-n-vinegaroons | Miami, FL | 10/30/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been a wrestling fan all my life and when I first heard Chris make mention of a band, I thought he was joking. Then I heard him say he had put some songs together with members of the band Stuck Mojo. I still thought it was a joke. I knew the Stuck Mojo boys were affiliated with WCW a few years back, and their music wasn't the deepest by any stretch, but it was still catchy. Well, my first Fozzy album was Happenstance and I was blown away by their ability to cover these great classics, and cover them well (believe it or not). Granted, these are like the 3rd or 4th singles from these bands, but they're those hidden gems that are rarely found and that turn out to be great tunes. My only concern was Chris's singing. I've heard him whine and cry on TV as a wrestler, but when he puts the notes together, it makes you wonder of the possibilities. I saw him not too long ago on some singing with the stars show and the idiotic judge said he didn't see Chris ever fronting a band. Well sir, he does indeed front a band and that band is called Fozzy. Funny name, but a great sound."
