Kingdom Come - Might Have To Change Band Name In Order To Release Next Record
Kingdom Come still hasn't worked out a settlement with original singer Lenny Wolf about releasing new music. Wolf was not involved with Kingdom Come's recent reunion tour, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the release of their self-titled debut album. When this issue will be solved, the band will be able to put out new music.
The current lineup consists of drummer James Kottak alongside guitarists Danny Stag and Rick Steier, bassist Johnny B. Frank and vocalist Keith St. John.
Asked in a new interview with 'MetalAsylum.net' if Kingdom Come is working on new music, Keith said: "I can say this: we've been writing new material. Danny Stag lives in Pittsburgh; Johnny B. Frank lives in Jacksonville, Florida; so those guys write things on their own and kind of do it and send stuff over. And then the rest of us are here kind of in the L.A. area. So Rick Steier and I gather, and occasionally with James, and write riffs. And we've got a ton of ideas. We're just not sure what the future is with the name of the band, as much as if we're gonna have to alter the band name a little bit to move ahead with new music, or if it's gonna get worked out so that we can just be Kingdom Come official and release as Kingdom Come. So that's an issue that hasn't been worked out yet, to my knowledge. Either way, the band wants to put out stuff. We're writing stuff. Everybody in the band is chomping at the bit to release some stuff. For me, that would be the icing on the cake for me, 'cause it solidifies us as a band by writing new stuff. So, hopefully - hopefully, yeah."
St. John previously told 'RockMusicStar.com' that the prospect of Kingdom Come releasing new music was "still up in the air". "There is uncertainty with what the legalities are with this lineup right now and everything being where it is, without signing any new contracts or agreements with us releasing something under the name Kingdom Come," he said. "Of course, we can call the band something else and release anything we want as a band, but I believe we're still in negotiations with Lenny Wolf to sign off on releasing another Kingdom Come record. And I'm not sure exactly where that's at right now, because we haven't really been talking about it since the COVID thing started."

Lenny Wolf should come back or else they are one of those bands that change their vocalist and it doesn't really result in anything, they lose the essence of the group, what happened in my opinion to the band Bonfire

Strange story, I thought Lenny Wolf was the heart and soul of the band, not just the singer, but also songwriter. I did not know they replaced him. Doesn't he own the band name? Wasn't this his band? I like this band, but I'm not sure I'd listen and buy KC music without Lenny Wolf.
