July 24 :
BLACKTHORNE "Afterlife" reissue (feat. Bruce Kulick) From
:
KISS Related Recordings
/
Cherry Red Records UK
label Cherry Red Records will re-release
BLACKTHORNE's 1993 debut album "Afterlife"
September 2.
The album features a guest appearance by Bruce Kulick on the song
"Over and Over", which is co-written by him.
BLACKTHORNE features Graham Bonnet on lead
vocals and Bob Kulick on lead guitar, whose impressive CV included
working with Meat Loaf and KISS. Not many singers have a career as
lengthy and varied as vocalist Graham Bonnet, replacing Ronnie James
Dio in Rainbow for their biggest hits, ‘Since You Been Gone’ and the
“Down To Earth” album, Graham also fronted the Michael Schenker
Group as well as his own band, Alcatrazz. Jimmy Waldo is probably
best known for his keyboards with Alcatrazz, and was previously in
the AOR band New England. Blackthorne’s line-up was completed by
Quiet Riot’s Frankie Banali on drums, who also enjoyed stints with
Billy Thorpe, Billy Idol and WASP.
Released at the height of grunge, like many classic rock / hard rock
artists of the era, “Afterlife” was a somewhat overlooked classic at
the time, though Kerrang! magazine recognized that, “Kulick’s six
string sting is never in doubt”. Hit Parader magazine stated that,
“This is a very good album, filled with stirring guitar solos and
gut-wrenching vocals”.
Featuring ‘Cradle To The Grave’, ‘We Won’t Be Forgotten’ and
‘Breaking The Chains’, the original album finished with a re-reading
of the Rainbow classic, ‘All Night Long’. This expanded collection
now includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks, and liner
notes by Malcolm Dome, based on recent interviews with Graham Bonnet
and Bob Kulick.
The
same day (September 2) Cherry Red Records also will release
BLACKTHORNE's previously unreleased 10 track second album “Don’t
Kill The Thrill”, which has been augmented by no less than 20 bonus
tracks, including rare live recordings captured in the States and
Japan. Hit Parader magazine concluded that this was a band with, “A
Triple-A rated rock and roll pedigree, Blackthorne is a band that
certainly knows everything there is to know about making great rock
music.”
