ABOUT

Second Coming is the second album by guitar virtuoso Joe Stump, first released in 1997 under his Reign of Terror moniker. It represents a significant step forward from the debut Light in the Sky, which, while uneven, did feature a minor classic in the form of “Broken Heart.”

On Second Coming, Stump is joined by Brian Troch (vocals), Jamie Curci (drums), and John Risti (bass), forming a tight and formidable lineup.

Second Coming showcases a marked improvement across the board, with stronger songwriting, enhanced production values, more developed lyrics, and a broader, more progressive musical approach. The result is a confident and cohesive album—an undeniably solid release highlighted by several truly standout tracks.
