"ALKANA - WELCOME TO MY PARADISE" 2012 UK limited edition of 400 copies 7-track vinyl LP, glossy picture sleeve. On ACID NIGHTMARE label. Catalogue No: LP 1978. Barcode: 9991910045100.

Welcome To My Paradise is the debut -and the only- release by the Progressive Hard Rock band Alkana from San Bernardino, CA. Seven guitar driven tracks are included in the album and they are pretty enough for someone to realize the band's inspiration and high musical status. Guided by the musical spirit of Mr Danney Alkana that offers the real big trademark on the album both with his compositions and his unique guitar playing style, Alkana created a magnificent album. There are times when the band is focused into a real catchy Hard Rock style -like on the opening "California Rock 'n' Roll Queen" track or on the the third "On Our Own" tune. They can even get heavier focusing on solid riffing and excellent lead guitar themes with ptogressive ideas like the ones on "Montezuma's Sweet Revenge" second track of the album and they are comfortable enough to let the first side of their debut to close with a real Hard Rock anthem entitled "Freedom Lady".
Singing on this record is none other than Mr. Jack Rucker, that went later on in the early 80's for a short but joyful career with the melodic Epic Metal gods WARLORD! The value of this record is as big as it's music. Expected for years, finally now Acid Nightmare Records presents in its original vinyl glory, sleeve art maintained intact even with the tracklist errors like the original.
