May 8?? Holy shit, they churned that out quick considering how recent that announcement was.
You know what I'd have loved, now that I've had time to think about it? If Claus is genuinely gone and is not interested in the band anymore, I wish Michael Bormann had joined the band. Granted, there is not a single member left in the band from the era when Bormann was still there so there are no ties at all, but I actually think that would have been really cool if it could have happened. Both Bormann and Bonfire have struggled a lot of create a decent album for a while, but a combo like that might just have worked - re-ignited some kind of spark. And at least they'd be keeping it German, and there is a history with Bormann in the band.
Anyway, I'm just fantasising now. Looks like it's done and dusted now, and I fear another average Reece album will be the result. Honestly, though, kinda looking forward to hearing it. Even if it won't sound like Bonfire...
I could care less who is singing for them...the only thing that matters to me is the end product and I'm willing to give it a chance....
I will give it a chance for sure, I'm a fan of both(DR and Bonfire). But I do feel they should have just stayed as Ez Livin', not Bonfire.
