High Roller Records, black vinyl, ltd 500, insert, bonus 7", Mastering and audio restoration by Patrick W. Engel in February 2022, Just like the late great Ronnie James Dio, David Feinstein, Carl Canedy, Eric Adams and Joey DeMaio, Andrew "Duck" MacDonald was active in the lively music scene of Upstate New York (a good three-hour drive from New York City). In fact, when he was 16 years of age he was in a band along with Joey DeMaio.

The year was 1970 and the name of the band The Grey Ghost, MacDonald was the singer. When another future Manowar member, ex-Dictator Ross The Boss, left French band Shakin Street, Andrew was his replacement on guitar. Shakin Street joined Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult on their "Black And Blue" US tour (all three bands were managed by Sandy Pearlman). Soon after, Shakin Street called it a day. And this is where the story of Bible Black starts.

Andrew MacDonald explains: "A lot of the shows I played with Shakin Street on the 'Black And Blue' tour were in venues in Upstate New York, so I got a lot of recognition in my home area because of these shows. That's how Craig and Gary had heard about me." Bassist Craig Gruber and drummer Gary Driscoll had both been in Ronnie James Dio's Elf as well as recording the legendary first album for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Keyboarder Mickey Lee Soule completed the trio of ex-Rainbow members in Bible Black. Musically, Bible Black's first three-track demo (from 1981) was indeed pretty varied.

"That's because we were not sure what we were going to be," says Andrew MacDonald. "I called up Eric [Adams, future Manowar singer], or Louis [Marullo] as he was known back then, because we didn't have a singer. It was just the three of us: Craig, Gary and me. He jumped at it because these guys were really well known in our area. So he came in and did the demo." For the second demo (four tracks, recorded in early 1982 and produced by Jeff Glixman) Eric Adams was replaced by Jeff Fenholt. Fenholt had played the leading role in »Jesus Christ Superstar« on Broadway, later became the singer for Joshua, recorded Christian gospel music and eventually ran his own religious TV show.

 "Not much later our new manager put together a showcase for us at the Ritz in New York, and three major companies were there, also Gene Simmons and lots of other famous people," explains original guitarist Andrew MacDonald, "but unfortunately we didn't get signed." Bible Black recorded two more demos, the last one included a young Joey Belladonna on vocals, before calling it quits in 1983.

»The Complete Recordings« collects all four demos by Bible Black for the first time ever on glorious vinyl (including an exclusive bonus 7" single).

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wow. Just wow. An amazing read
Format: Kindle
This book was eloquently written, or should I say the authors writing style is very eloquent? I loved the characters, and the story was quite compelling. I absolutely loved the FMC, she's a BA who doesn't take any crap & gives as good as she gets. A certain person certainly got his just desserts & then some, the earlier scenes of which were quite satisfying, had me punching the air & everything haha. All in all 20/10, great read

My opinion
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying I really liked the story and the characters however, this book is in desperate need of some sort of editing. It's not misspelled words or formatting, but continuous run on sentences. Redundancies within the sentences. There were a couple of paragraphs that I had to go back and reread 3 or 4 times. Overall, I'd say it was worth the read.

Beautiful
Format: Kindle
I love omegaverses I had looked at this one multiple times thinking it's just another book about cocky rock star guys that let fame get to their heads and there are parts like that so I wasn't 100% off. I started reading the second book and met the fmc Astraea from the first one,after she had a run in with the aphla from the gym.😁 it gave me the push to stop and read book one first and im so glad I did this book was amazing their was so many characters I fell in love with hoping they will find their happily ever after. the guys were great, the plot was 🎯, and the ending had me 😭😭😭. I was wondering how nate could ever redeem himself, and he did. the last scene with him was sad, but I also felt it was beautiful. thank you to the author for making a beautiful omegaverse book that gave me all the feels. now I'm jumping straight into book two.

Knot their Omega
Format: Kindle
It took me a day to really get into the book, there is a lot happening in the beginning of the story. I wish there was more of a time frame because I felt like something’s happened quickly but they were farther away than I thought so that was a little confusing to me. I felt like there was so much happening but also not enough. As for the story itself I enjoyed it, it was different than other OV I’ve read. Bring the tissues, you will need them. They guys were great, I wish we saw more of Kai and Kenjis relationship. As for Nate…… IYKYK. I enjoyed this book, my first from this author and look forward to reading about Kamaris story. Book: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Spice: 🌶️.5/5
