Album:

I remember a couple of years back that I received a promo cd of a band called Wonderworld to review it for Heavy Paradise. I was quite impressed by the band's sound and I was looking forward to the band's next step. Finally, and after a year on the road playing live gigs, the band that consists of Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth), Ken Ingwersen (Street Legal) and Tom Fossheim (Live Fire) is back in the game with album number two, simply titled "II".Just for the record, all of Wonderworld's three members are, also, currently the permanent backing band for Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), under the name; Ken Hensley & Live Fire.The new opus kicks-off with the bluesy straight forward rocker tune of "Forever Is A Lie". This is a great track all the way that includes Tiranti's deep and emotional vocals, Ken's brilliant guitar licks and great arrangements. Ken Ingwersen's guitar really 'smokes' here!!!! In "Remember My Words" the band put more groove while in "It's Not Over Yet" we are dealing with yet another highlight out of the new record. The Indie elements make their appearance in the start and then the track transforms into a superb power ballad with such a beautiful melody! Once again Tiranti's vocals shine here!! The magical moments don't stop here; check out, also, the amazing "Echo Of My Thoughts" (the guitar work is out of this world!!!), the heavier "Evil In Disguise" and the groovy "Return To Life".Simply stunning record from start to finish!! An album full of great and inspired guitar work, amazing performances thanks to the very talented Roberto Tiranti, great arrangements and most of all, well-written tracks that touch your soul!

Album:

In October 2017, Wonderworld started recording their 3rd album… simply to be called; III (following the numeric theme of the previous releases I and II). Even though there is influence from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, AC/DC and Rush in the mix, the band have their own musical style and have created a solid combination of old and new influences sprinkled with their own spices to forge a melting pot of rock music.The basic tracks are more or less live with adding vocals, the occasional solos and a bit of keyboards. It was important to the band to retain their traditional live feel on the album, because that’s what Wonderworld is all about; the energy created by 3 guys in a single room getting off on their sound and emotions!All the songs are written by Roberto Tiranti & Ken Ingwersen and the album is produced and mixed by Ken Ingwersen. The group recorded most of the album in Lionheart studio in Oslo, Norway with engineer Øyvind Larsen in over just a few days. III is mastered by Björn Engelmann at Cutting Room, Stockholm. Björn has mastered many international acts like Rammstein, Britney Spears and Meshuggah. Special guest on this album is Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Jorn) on hammond and keyboards.Wonderworld III | Released June 19th, 2018 on Sliptrick Records

Album:

Formed by the permanent backing band for Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), WONDERWORLD consists of Italian shouter Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth) and Norwegians Ken Ingwersen (Street Legal) / Tom Fossheim. The trio released 3 albums so far with Hensley’s collaboration.Sadly, in November of 2020 Ken Hensley passed away and the three musicians decided to dissolve WONDERWORLD, however recording a final album, “Live Fire“, to be released tomorrow. Hensley guest on one track, the last recording from the legendary musician.WONDERWORLD’s sound could be best described as traditional hard rock / classic rock, mixing strong assertive riffs with a deep and powerful rhythm section. Yet these are quickly wrapped up in melody and harmony derived from the same guitar lines, but also Tiranti’s vocal arrangements.They decided that the most fitting tribute to the man they saw as their mentor was an album consisting of songs they regularly played live with Ken Hensley’s Live Fire. Indeed, ‘Live Fire‘ consists of a mixture of Uriah Heep and Ken’s solo / Live Fire material.This is no missmash of material hastily performed. This is such a coherent, and exceptionally performed selection, which delivers such a fantastic tribute. Roberto’s vocal performance is just superb, giving the songs the right delivery while still maintaining the flavor of his vocal style. This is something not easily undertaken. Ken Ingwersen and Tom Fossheim‘s musicianship is as always exemplary.It’s easy to say that ‘Live Fire‘ is a fitting tribute, but as a fan of Ken’s time in Heep and knowing that material very well, that alone makes for a superb release.The album finishes off with ‘The Longest Night‘ with Ken Hensley‘s vocals accompanying Roberto’s and it gave me goose bumps listening to it.Now I’d of bought ‘Live Fire‘ regardless as it’s a Wonderworld release, but it really is so much more and they have given new life to some much loved songs in what truly is a fitting tribute to a musical legend.
