Kingdom Come is a Germany‑based hard‑rock band formed in 1987. The group was originally fronted by Lenny Wolf (born Frank Wollschläger in Hamburg), who remained the band’s central figure until their hiatus in 2016. Although the lineup has changed frequently over the years, the most recent formation includes three original members who, along with drummer James Kottak, left the band in 1989 and returned in 2018. Wolf was replaced by Keith St. John in 2018, who remained until 2024, when Ezekiel “Zeke” Kaplan took over as vocalist. Kottak stayed with the band until his death in January 2024 and was succeeded by Matt Muckle. The band’s 1988 debut album, Kingdom Come, remains their most successful release and includes their best‑known hit, “Get It On.” Kingdom Come was formed in 1987 in Hamburg, West Germany, following the breakup of Lenny Wolf’s earlier project Stone Fury. Wolf assembled a multinational lineup featuring Italian‑born bassist/keyboardist Johnny B. Frank and American musicians Danny Stag (lead guitar), Rick Steier (rhythm guitar) and James Kottak (drums). Stag and Frank had previously played in the bands Industrials, WWIII, and Population 5, the latter of which included bassist Prescott Niles (The Knack) and drummer Matt Sorum (The Cult, Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver). Frank had also worked as a keyboardist for Josie Cotton. Kingdom Come was the first band in which Wolf performed solely as a vocalist without playing guitar — a change he later admitted felt awkward at first. See for more.
