CLOVEN HOOF - Reach For The Sky
Музыка
1979-1987 Cloven Hoof went through a few early line-up changes, including a brief spell with vocalist Steve Sammon, before settling on a steady line-up that would last their first few recordings. Theatrical from the beginning, the four band members took up pseudonyms after the four elements - David "Water" Potter, Steve "Fire" Rounds, Lee "Air" Payne and Kevin "Earth" Poutney. This line-up recorded the band's successful demo tape from 1982, along with The Opening Ritual EP, and Cloven Hoof. Following the release of their self-titled debut, David Potter left the band to be replaced by Rob Kendrick, who took up the "Water" pseudonym. This line-up only managed to record the live album Fighting Back, before splitting up completely soon after the release of the album. Lee Payne was the only member left, and soldiered on through the years. [edit]1988-1990 Lee Payne started the band again in 1988, hiring vocalist Russ North and guitarist Andy Wood from the split up band Tredegar along with drummer Jon Brown. With a whole new set of musicians in place, the band dropped the stage names and went on to record two more albums - 1988's Dominator and 1989's A Sultan's Ransom. Former member of Tredegar Lee Jones was brought to the band for the role of second guitarist soon after the release of these two albums, but contractual difficulties caused the band to split up in 1990. [edit]2001-2007 In the summer of 2001, Lee Payne began putting a new line-up together for the next reincarnation of Cloven Hoof when Andy Wood had phoned him about the contractual difficulties that had ultimately caused the band to split up for a whole decade. After a few years' work and failure to entice back any previous Hoof members, Eye of the Sun was recorded and released in 2006 with the help of studio musicians Matt Moreton on vocals, Andy Shortland on guitars, and Lynch Radinsky on drums. According to Payne, it was the first Cloven Hoof album to have been produced without any obstacles that plagued them in the 1980s, but even though he was proud of the album's successful production, he still wanted Russ North to provide his own vocals for it instead of Moreton's. Following the successful comeback release, the three hired musicians by Payne left once Russ North returned to the fold after finally taking care of the obstacles that prevented him from rejoining a few years earlier. A brief period of line-up fluctuation could be seen on the band's website over the following few months, with former member Jon Brown briefly listed as being back on board. Eventually the line-up seemed to settle with Mick Powell, a guitarist almost hired by Cloven Hoof in the early '80s. In another unannounced change, Jon Brown rejoined. [edit]2008 A collection of re-recorded songs The Definitive Part One was released in early 2008, with a new album to be called Throne of Damnation scheduled for release in 2009. Mick Powell played guitar and keyboards on The Definitive Part One but had left the band by the time it was released. Cloven Hoof continued for a few months as a four-piece again before Powell briefly rejoined in April 2008 and was eventually replaced by Christian Horton.

I'm 24 and I'm addicted to NWOBHM since I listened for the first time more than 15 years ago. Nothing beats traditional Heavy metal . Hail to Diamond Head, Saxon, Cloven Hoof, Dark Star, Battleaxe, Tyrant and many other that made my life better. I cannot thank them enough

The stars are our home Roaming the galaxy We’re free Raiders from space Star fighter zeros. Out of the sun Engage the enemy We see Planets in chains Hell is for heroes. We glide in our silver birds Got to do or die Soar on solar winds Rage on high As fire on silent metal wings Out where the meteors fly You and I. Chorus Reach for the sky Reach for the sky Reach for the sky Reach for the sky Trail to blaze Glory and victory will be In for the kill Or wiped out forever. Life is a dream And death a reality to me Star fleet in flames But never surrender. Dog fight till the end Dive for the last time Soar on solar winds Rage on high As fire on silent metal wings Out where the meteors fly You and I. (Chorus)
love finding diamonds in the rough like this.

awesome track solid riff, from new wave of british heavy metal band cloven hoof, just magic i love it. good vocals from the lead singer too. #nwobhmforever
Beautiful vocals
Glad I found this hidden gem. Really great singer and the band is solid! Great song!
I love the beginning riff! Reminds me a lot of Judas Priest's "Electric Eye".
Tenía 15-16 años cuando comencé escuchando toda esta ola de heavy y la verdad influyó mucho en mis tiempos, larga al vida al heavy metal!
Loving it. This band is incredible. Go Lee!
This song randomly popped up. And I absolutely fucking love it!!

cloven hoof rules obscure HEAVY METAL
Just discovered this gem.
Once long ago in 80-s I heard this band on Radio Free Europe. I cant find their record then. Now I hear them on youtube. And I am very glad to know that Lynch Radinsky was their drummer in 2006. Orlin Radinsky (nick named Lynch) was the best bulgarian metal drummer in late 80s, early 90s, then he emigrate to UK. He played in Bulgarian metal bands - Impulse, Accent. His foot is like a hoof (drummer joke), though, so this band Cloven Hoof is perfect for him.
A buddy of mine, who was stationed in Germany w/the 11th ACR in the early 80s, turned me on to this band, Bullet, Killer, Impulse, Spitfire, & a bunch of other great stuff back then. He even made it to a Monsters of Rock show while he was stationed over there.

REACH FOR THE SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY dominator album indeed
I agree. Not even close to the masterpieces on this album! People, the music today doesn't even deserve to spit-shine the boots of these artists from the Renaissance-esque period of N.W.O.B.H.M. Fortunately, I got hooked on said genre, and don't associate with today's "music" if that's what you want to call it! 18 years old and proud to be listening to N.W.O.B.H.M.!
Ever played something so good.
was great seeing them live

I love both versions equally, but Rob Kendrick has a very agile and light voice suited for the higher notes of the song. It's very much his song in that way.

Attention Cloven Hoof fans. The Hoof are touring North America for the FIRST TIME EVER September/October 2018. Visit their Facebook page for dates! facebook.com/clovenhoof1979/
cool John Blanche artwork
The Russ North/Andy Wood era of Cloven Hoof was their best period,imo. "Dominator" and "A Sultan's Ransom" both rank among the greatest albums in Metal history! It's a shame that circumstances didn't allow this lineup to record more than just those two gems.
Great song! Powerful vocals! Cool lyrics! Awesome Heavy Metal track! Sometimes reminds em SATAN!
You cannot go wrong with a band that slaps Blanche on their album cover.
Goooooood si very cool
first time listener im impressed great solo
I sat here and listened to Black Sabbath's "Die Young" when I thought "uhm.. I've heard this bassline somewhere else." Found it. (I mean, it's not exact, but parts of it is definitely similar.)
seen them in blackwood in 1989, yes im old
