On their last album Phil Mogg and company ratcheted things up a few notches -- the result was the no frills 2009 album The Visitor. The latest UFO offering is entitled Seven Deadly, and features grotesque artwork that appears to have been created with Microsoft's paint program -- its cringe worthy.

Album cover aside the music found within Seven Deadly is a continuation of the foundation (of this incarnation of the band) laid with 2004's You Are Here. Phil Mogg isn't an extraordinary singer by any means, but he does a magnificent job and is the right guy for UFO. Mogg remains the wily silver fox with the dry British sense of humor and the notebooks filled with clever lyrics -- "Fight Night" is evidence of this. On this, album number four of the Vinnie Moore era, UFO have delivered yet another astounding, solid, and melodic classic rock record. Once again Moore displays a great feel for what the songs need rather than laying down meaningless notes and riffs simply for the sake of doing so -- he has also injected a bluesy feel to the albums that he's played on, at the direction of Mogg. This is a great move that has given this version of the band its own identity.

The standout tracks on Seven Deadly include "Wonderland", which has a great hook and a spectacular solo, and "Mojo Town", with its memorable groove, great driving riff and verbose solo. Ballads have been a UFO strong suit over the years, with "Angel Station" and "Waving Goodbye" continuing that tradition. Seven Deadly also succeeds with "The Last Stoner Rider", a great memorable mid-tempo track, and "Fight Night", a rambunctious rocker that rivals "Hell Driver" from The Visitor.

In 2012, despite the departure of Pete Way due to health reasons -- things are well in UFO land. --- Ruben Mosqueda, sleazeroxx.com

There are even more stories about UFO than they’ve composed songs. Any band who have been in the music business for more than 40 years are bound to have experienced difficult times, but also dazzling successes and spectacular events. UFO’s success story began in London way back in 1969, when vocalist Phil Mogg, drummer Andy Parker, guitarist Mick Bolton and bassist Pete Way formed the group. Even in the Seventies, the band distinguished themselves with their very own, unmistakable style, touching a nerve among their growing following with rock numbers like ‘Prince Kajuku’, ‘Follow You Home’ or ‘C’mon Everybody’ from their albums UFO 1, Flying and UFO Live.

The global breakthrough arrived when German guitarist, Michael Schenker, joined the fold in 1973, having left his band Scorpions to follow an offer by Phil Mogg and Pete Way. UFO released three consecutive rock classics with Schenker (Phenomenon (1974), Force It (1975) and No Heavy Pettin’ (1976)), featuring classics like ‘Doctor Doctor’, ‘Shoot, Shoot’, or ‘Rock Bottom’. Following the arrival of keyboarder/rhythm guitarist Paul Raymond, UFO released their two studio albums Lights Out (1977) and Obsession (1978), including the hit singles ‘Too Hot To Handle’, ‘Lights Out’ and ‘Only You Can Rock Me’. Their live cut Strangers In The Night came out in 1979 and is referred to by the press to this day as one of the best live releases of all time, while also signalling the end of the Mogg, Way, Schenker, Parker & Raymond line-up.

The reorganised band underwent fifteen years marked by various eras and numerous line-up changes. To everyone’s surprise, autumn 1993 saw the return of the former UFO line-up consisting of Mogg, Way, Schenker, Parker and Raymond. This new edition of the classic team brought out Walk On Water, their first joint effort after one and a half decades, and embarked on a world tour. However, Schenker left UFO during the Walk On Water tour again to continue working with his own group, MSG, while Mogg & Way went on to release their second album, Chocolate Box. The UFO albums Covenant and Sharks, recorded by Mogg, Way and Schenker, arrived at the stores in 2000 and 2002. Vinnie Moore went on to follow in Schenker’s footsteps, who had returned to MSG, recording the songs on You Are Here with Jason Bonham. During the subsequent world tour, UFO cut a show in Germany, which was later released on the live album, Showtime, and the same-named DVD featuring additional bonus material. Later, Bonham bid his farewells and UFO’s original drummer Andy Parker returned on The Monkey Puzzle (2006) and its successor The Visitor (2009). So with Phil Mogg, Paul Raymond and Andy Parker, the band today consists of three original members, plus American guitar slinger Vinnie Moore – the perfect complement. ---ufo-music.info
