Kingdom Come (British band)

Kingdom Come was a British progressive rock band formed in 1970 and active until 1973. They were led by Arthur Brown, known for his theatrical performances and powerful vocals, particularly his earlier hit, "Fire."

The band's lineup included keyboardist Victor Peraino, guitarist Andy Dalby, drummer Julian Brown, and bassist Michael "Dumpy" Dunn. Their music blended elements of progressive rock, hard rock, and psychedelic rock, often featuring complex arrangements, unconventional song structures, and Arthur Brown's dramatic and often bizarre lyrical themes.

Kingdom Come released three studio albums: Galactic Zoo Dossier (1971), Kingdom Come (1972), and Journey (1973). Galactic Zoo Dossier is perhaps their most well-regarded album, known for its experimental sound and thought-provoking lyrics addressing themes of identity, society, and technology.

Despite their unique sound and Arthur Brown's established reputation, Kingdom Come did not achieve widespread commercial success. The band dissolved in 1973, with its members pursuing various other musical projects. Arthur Brown continued his solo career and collaborated with other artists. While relatively short-lived, Kingdom Come is remembered for its innovative and challenging music, and its contribution to the progressive rock scene of the early 1970s.
