heaven&hell Official Heavy Harmonies Gropie...err "Groupie"

I've never heard of these guys before even though they appear to have released like 5 cds.

They have just reissued(or about to reissue) their debut on Rockaholic Records and from the samples this stuff kicks butt. Kind like Dokken and Melodic Metal. It appears they're from Ohio and their guitarist shreds.

 

Anyone out there like these guys?

I've got the "In The Face of Danger" release and after the first listen I thought it was okay but nothing fantastic.......probably need to listen again...

 

Thanks DP.

 

I listened to a few samples and I liked the Dokkenish sound I was hearing but maybe the rest wasn't as good. But to me I heard some Dokken with some shredding guitar playing.

I really need to spin it again as it wouldn't be the first release that needed several spins to hit home....

I hear you. That's happened many times to me over the years.

Then again it's happened many times where I loved something at first and over time don't care much for it.

'In The Face Of Danger' ain't bad...the guitarist (Michael Harris) has recorded some solo albums.Definitely not the calibre of a Dokken though.

 

 

what do you mean,my buddy? dokken better than arch rival or lynch better than harris? of course i disagree 'bout the 2nd option, although of course these two can't be compared due to different style...and the albums of zanister(harris/chastain), considering the dark years they've been released, are pure masterpieces.

i love their first ep(actually 2 trax of it) + demotape. not the others. and surely they're the less interesting works of m.harris.

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
