Shogun (Stormwitch album)
1994 studio album by Stormwitch / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shogun is the seventh album by the German heavy metal band Stormwitch, released in 1994. It is probably the most controversial of Stormwitch's albums and poorly received by fans due to its almost entirely different sound, with progressive elements and very little of their classic heavy metal styles. It also marked the end of their original span which has lasted from 1982 to 1994. The album was the first to feature only one guitarist, making a four-member band.
