I'm spinning it now. I'm digging their sound. Pretty solid stuff.

This is the version of Until The End Of The World with Ron Taylor's vocal: This is the version with Derek LeFevre that ended up on the "Water's Rising" album: Fields Of Yesterday with Ron: Fields Of Yesterday with Lefevre: Second Of May with Ron: Second Of May with LeFevre:

https://www.nuclearblast.de/en/label/music/band/news/details/5986321.71029.gotthard-currently-working-on-new-album.html News from GOTTHARD GOTTHARD - currently working on new album! 2019-06-04 - For us it might sound like a well-earned break for the Swiss rock heroes – but for GOTTHARD themselves that simply doesn’t exist. At the end of the day their focus is always rock'n'roll and new songs. In other words: GOTTHARD are back in the studio! The release of the upcoming full-length album is set for early 2020 and the band will also embark on an extensive headline tour through Europe in support of it. But considering it's still a little while until the upcoming album will see the light of day, you can get your fill of GOTTHARD as they perform selected festival and club shows throughout 2019. Whilst Hena is out of action looking after his newly born second child, he will be replaced on the road for this year's shows by a good friend and worthy replacement, HELLOWEEN drummer Dani Löble.

Saw them in 92 so I'll check it out.

I found these on a DVD-R. I'm very happy.

I wonder if @Glen or @Geoff will like this? Or @KarpetRydOFunk @Nightrain @The Rocker

Another new video:

Good catch on the drummer. And Lexi is a strange "character".

http://www.metalforcesmagazine.com/site/news-scarlet-rebels-release-debut-studio-album-show-your-colours/ ‘Show Your Colours’ is the debut album by melodic hard rockers SCARLET REBELS,showcasing an array of songwriting talent, coupled with real sonic weight making it a stunning record from start to finish, never losing the focus that the song always needs to be served best. With the expert ears of Tim Hamill (Lemmy, Girlschool, George Michael) controlling the desk, the outcome was 14 songs of soaring melodies, anthemic choruses, crunchy guitars and heavy-duty drums. Opener ‘No One Else To Blame’ is all strutting riffs and melodic fills with lead vocalist Wayne Doyle blazing away. A slow burn for me initially but after a few listens, the guitar work, and chorus just power it along like a juggernaut. ‘You Take My Breath Away’ is all about the chorus, modern but classic melodic, which somehow reminds me of Vega. It really rocks, with style. ‘Head’s In The Ground’ sees Scarlet Rebels going more modern with the riffs tuning, but don’t be fooled, it’s all melodic and punchy, even with sleaze touch. ‘Part Of Me’ has a slide-guitar and acoustic opening. It’s a bit of a change of pace, but the chorus is just HUGE. ‘Heal’ is a song with a ‘single feel’, and an album highlight. It’s low key first half, before a riff kicks in, then its down to the emotive and passion chorus, and then ends on guitar heavy AOR. Wayne Doyle certainly has a knack in getting you involved with his lyrics. A song of two halves, its my fave of the album so far. ‘Let Your Love Go’ is heavier, high energy and a wallop to boot, where sugar sweet rhythms and upbeat vocals lock together for a feel good vibe. Instantly memorable choruses get their hooks into you again during ‘Save Me’, backed by driving riffs. Another heart wrenching ballad to add to their arsenal comes from ‘Blinded By The Pain’. It goes from a whisper to a scream when the music kicks in to Wayne’s pleas. ‘Shattered Dreams’ (not a Johnny Hates Jazz cover), how about shattered eardrums from the booming riffs as melodies with muscle make this song my album highlight. ‘Can I Open My Eyes?’ to my ears sounds like power pop as catchy riffs drive along an edgy vocal as a complete change of mood sees ‘Returning Light’ stroll along on a sparse piano and acoustic chords as a heart melting vocal stretches to a roar when the rest of the band arrive with a crash and sumptuous backing vocals. ‘Losing End’ is stadium rock, and the album closes on a high with ‘Radio Song’. It’s a power chord laden monster with a lung busting vocal to match them and is bound to sound huge when played live. “Show Your Colors” the kind of album that you could be blindfolded with a pin in hand, and the song you pick could easily be a single or a favorite. Scarlet Rebels have a contender here, because the songs range from ‘great’, to ‘excellent’. I mean, not your regular, by number rockers Its almost a perfect storm, all five guys hitting peak performance, a pounding rhythm section, a three guitar attack from W Doyle, Jones and Townshend, and some great vocals / harmonies. It’s 53 minutes of some of the best melodic hard rock you’ll hear this summer. Highly Recommended 01. No One Else To Blame 02. You Take My Breath Away 03. Head’s In The Ground 04. Part Of Me 05.

Now that's more like it. I like that one a lot.

You just liked the guy's ass at the end.....

Nope. Not liking that at all.

First single:

This album in no way, shape or form sounds like Open To The Public

I had a lengthy conversation with Guy Allison earlier today. Really cool dude. I apologized for my snide remark above about possibly pissing off Guy when I said they guitars were too soft on their last few records. That it needed more balls. Guy was not pissed at all and has heard his fair share of "too soft" comments. Guy says they just write what they feel. They weren't a hair band and weren't even trying to sound like one. Guy said the band started with three songs that most fans wouldn't consider metal or rocking in "Let's Talk About Love", "To Be Your Everything", and "Take Me Down Nasty". Everything they've done since then has been a natural evolution in whatever direction inspired them. And that they still operate the same way. They record the music they "feel". They try to produce the most balanced and full sound that they can. Knows they are never going to please everybody. But they are also not trying to copy themselves. He said they could though. He jokingly asked Bruce "wanna make a metal album?". Partially joking, partially not. They choose to go where the creative music takes them. I asked about the production on "Can't Go Home". Guy states that they accidentally short-changed the mix because of time constraints. He was leaving for a tour and the due date for the record was fixed. Says they didn't rush this new one out. It was due earlier but they learned valuable lessons from "Can't Go Home". I told Guy some of the new tracks would sit nicely on their debut. Guy said he thinks that too and that it wasn't strictly an intention. It just worked out that way. He says UC might have hit the scene with all those other hair bands, but the truth is, that's not who they were or who they necessarily liked. He said UC was a product of their collective influences. And trust him, it wasn't metal or hair bands or that genre. He says timing was the reason the debut wasn't huge. It was where they were in 1991 and that they were into Led Zeppelin, Elton John, The Beatles, Motown, Steely Dan, and Yes. Guy said that there are a subset of racists out there who give them grief because of Marcie. He said that they are lucky they don't say that to her face because she's as tough as nails. In closing, Guy told be to let the other UC fans know that they don't chase Unruly Child formulas and that there's not enough money in the process to even cover their electric bills. They make this music because they love it and want to share it with the fans. He said a tour would only happen if it makes sense. Costs covered and some profit to stop them from taking other work. And that's it. I found him to be a great dude. Thanks Guy!

Sounds great to me.

Ricky.... it's Russ here!! Thanks for the shout out.

That has to be it! This stuff is just not good modern garbage.

Wow.... that's dreadful.

The best tracks for me were "Down And Dirty", "The Harder They Will Fall", and "Breaking The Chains".

Japan copy in my hands. This is a very good disc. Still missing the bite in the guitars. Production still lacking. First spin through and rated, I gave it a 75%

Probably the best of the 3 singles released. Still not really feeling it though. Oddly enough, that almost looks like Mark Free.....

Awful!
