Artist: Rainbow
Song: Ariel
Song: Ariel
Album: Stranger In Us All (1995)
After Ritchie left Deep Purple for the second time in 1993 he made one last go at Rainbow, this time recruiting Dougie White for the lead vocals and surrounding himself with a batch of brand new musicians. What came out was probably one of the best hard rock albums of all time and unfortunately one that is most often overlooked by most Rainbow and Blackmore fans alike. This song, has long since been a favourite of mine. The ominous riff somewhat reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, the cadence of the song and lyrics giving the feeling of being trapped before some ominous conclusion, the foreshadowing presence of Candice Night on backing vocals, it's all there. A man clearly caught in that moment where he changes between the legacy of his past and the very different path of the future.
