It won't be long - 1988 (with lyrics)Notes:
- Formed by ex-JOSHUA sidekick Ken Tamplin, SHOUT was a semi-Christian melodic Metal band that received a great deal of press attention and even made it over to Britain for a headlining appearance at the Marquee in London during 1988. At the time the group was supporting the debut album 'It Won't Be Long', a record that had first appeared as an import but was quickly picked up by Music For Nations for release in Britain.
Joseph Galetta came in on the drum stool for the 1989 album 'In Your Face'. Since folding SHOUT, Tamplin has turned his attention to a number of similar projects billed simply as TAMPLIN. By 2001 he was fronting CRUSADE, a unit including ex-LION guitarist DOUG ALDRICH, QUIET RIOT bassist Rudy Sarzo and IMPELLITERRI men keyboard player Edward Harris Roth and drummer Glen Sobel.
Not to be confused with the Boston SHOUT who released the 'Finger On The Trigger' album. -
- Ken Tamplin got his start in the mid-eighties while a member of the melodic metal band Joshua. After completing a tour of Europe in support of the 1986 release Surrender, Tamplin departed Joshua when he felt the Lord leading him in a different direction. He proceeded to put together Shout with former Idle Cure guitarist Chuck King (recruited through an ad in a Los Angeles area classified paper) and bassist Loren Robinson (Joshua). The three arrived at the name Shout, in Tamplin’s own words, due to the fact, "We're supposed to shout and make a joyful noise unto the Lord. We're definitely shouting it out and saying what the Lord wants us to say." It Won't Be Long is Shout's 1988 debut on Intense Records.
It Won’t Be Long, Shout’s 1988 Frontline Records debut, is a sleekly produced work combining the best aspects of melodic metal and commercial hard rock with pop-rock sensibilities. All these elements can be found on hook driven pieces “Never Stop” and “Winners Or Losers” in addition to the albums acoustic laced title track. “Shout”, the bands signature number, comes across in the form of a metal anthem, while “Find A Way” is a piano driven ballad. The polished “Showdown” highlights Shout’s penchant for lush vocal harmonies.
Tamplin has always been one of my favorite rock vocalists. His smooth and warm sounding presence – tinctured with occasional touches of grit – aligns well with the music at hand. He also joins with Chuck King for the albums guitar duties. The two prove particularly deft with their tight melodies and harmonies but can also cut loose in the lead guitar department, as demonstrated on “Winners Or Losers” and “Showdown”. Guitarist Lanny Cordola (House Of Lords) makes a guest lead guitar appearance on “Shout”.
Rounding things out is the rhythm section of drummer Dennis Holt (AD) and bassist Loren Robinson. Mark Hugonberger adds extra texture on keyboards. -
