WHITESNAKE Guitarist Doug Aldrich‘s BURNING RAIN Frontiers Records will release bluesy hard rockers
BURNING RAIN’s third
studio album,
Epic Obsession, on May 17th in Europe and May 21st in
North America.
Burning Rain was founded by current
WHITESNAKE axeman Doug Aldrich
together with singer
Keith St. John (ex-MONTROSE). The lineup for the
new album is rounded out by
Sean McNabb on bass (ex-QUIET RIOT, DOKKEN,
HOUSE OF LORDS) and
Mat Starr on drums (ACE FREHLEY).
Epic Obsession comes after a long hiatus from the release of the band’s second album, Pleasure To Burn, in 2000.
Of Epic Obsession,
Aldrich commented, “I think we have a good batch
of songs that will stand up. It’s a melodic blues rock approach to the
band’s sound. It’s really the only thing I have done outside of
Whitenake in the last ten years.”
Frontiers Records will be also be releasing on the same date
reissues of the long out-of-print first two albums from
Burning Rain,
the self-titled debut (released in 1999) and the aforementioned Pleasure
To Burn. Both albums will be repackaged and remastered and will contain
two added bonus tracks to each respective album.
