So we know the musicianship is going to be top notch, but how much fun can a covers album be? Well… pretty good fun, actually. Bonfire stamp their mark on each song, and this is apparent from the off with a very individual version of Toto’s signature “Africa”. There’s no mistaking this for a band trying to copy the original. As an opener it’s brilliant. Brash, big and entirely unlike its source material, the first 15 second or so sound more like The Darkness’s “Love Is Only A Feeling” than a piece of 80’s melodic balladry. But the global situation has undoubtedly changed how we travel and accelerated some of the trends we already saw, such as a movement towards more considered travel, transformational experiences and meaningful connections.” Positioned on the shoreline of Malaysia, One&Only’s first Asia resort offers a true escape from the stresses of life. One&Only Desaru Coast extends across 52 hectares of wild flora and is surrounded by private white-sand beaches, tropical jungle and the South China Sea.

Education on sustainability will also form a significant part of the resort’s offering, from the composting station in the Chef’s Garden and the green food waste practices to the activities at KidsOnly. In a nutshell, “Legends” is a delicious album if you like famous band’s covers. Bonfire did a great job here, there’s no doubt about it. If I were to choose, I’d keep with Toto’s “Africa” because besides respecting the essence of the song, Bonfire managed well to add their personality to it. It got simply delicious. Ember Beach Club is open to resort and local guests from morning to evening with a calendar full of events including outdoor movie screenings, live bands and DJs. In 2016, Bonfire celebrated their 30th anniversary and a new double album, Pearls, released on UDR/Warner on 18 March 2016. This recording featured past band hits that were re-recorded. At the beginning of July it was announced that Reece and the band had mutually agreed to part ways. To fill in the vacancy Michael Bormann was announced as the new frontman, but he was not able to join the group for a few months. Alexx Stahl of Purple Rising and Roxxcalibur agreed to be a temporary singer to fulfill the band's commitments until Bormann's arrival. During that time the group agreed that Stahl put a lot of effort in to the performances, so it was agreed all around that he would become the full-time lead vocalist. When I received this album to review, I didn’t quite know what to expect or even write. I don’t know about you, dear reader, but I tend to get rather sceptical when it comes to cover albums. The whole idea tends to scream “cash cow” or “filler”. I have a tendency to lean on the idea that bands are just trying to fulfill a label requirement, or just rip off their fans by providing an album of songs written by others. But with “Legends”, Bonfire have made me eat humble pie and see things differently.

Between the second and third albums, Bonfire went through many changes. Although Tommy Wagner filled the drum kit for a TV spot, the band needed a new full-time drummer, which appeared in December 1987, when Edgar Patrik from Sinner, Samson and Tyran Pace joined. [2] In July 1988, during the Fireworks Tour, Maier had to leave due to his rheumatism becoming too much of a crippling factor to play guitar and be on stage. Taking his spot in August was Angel Schleifer, formerly of Doc Savage, Red Alert, Sinner, Mad Max, Pretty Maids and Helter Skelter. [2] The tour went on and once it was completed, the band settled down to collaborate for a new album. It was then that Hans Ziller had problems with the record company and the band's management due in part to his family commitments at the time. Against the band's better decisions, he was fired from the group for not having his focus on the band and in June 1989 and Bonfire carried on as a quartet.

Their record company refused to release any new material that did not have Lessmann singing and the years of grunge music had started. [2] The band felt that the end was in sight and released a live album featuring concert recordings from the Point Blank Tour with Lessmann on vocals. The album Bormann had sung on was shelved (but later released as a bootleg called Bonfire - End of an Era Demos) and Bonfire performed for the last time on 29 July 1994 without officially breaking up.
