Hi guys,

 

has anybody already heard the "new" PETRA CD "Back To The Rock"?

 

They're back with GREG X VOLZ and on their homepage http://www.classicpetra.com/ you can hear snippets of a few tracks.

It's mostly new recordings of old Petra classics (pre Schlitt era only) but they also include two new songs.

 

I'm just wondering if it's really worth getting as I have all the original CD's and usually I'm not into re-recordings so much.

 

Cheers

Definitely worth getting in my opinion, as some of the new versions sound more up to date than some of the slightly dated sound on some of the originals. Once I get moved I shall definitely be ordering a copy.

Wait, what? It's already out? I gotta get it. And to answer Ralfster, of course it's worth getting. The best Classic Petra re-recorded is a no-brained!

Based on the few samples I just listened to, I'm gonna say they should've left the old tunes alone. I'm not hearing any improvement on the originals. "Grave Robber" begged to be updated, but not like that. And it sounds like they even slowed down "More Power To Ya". Sad as there was potential to do something really cool here.

Thanks guys! I've just listened to the samples and I'm definitely going to order it! I agree, on some tracks I can't hear an improvement but others sound f***** fantastic.

 

Now I just wish they would do an all new CD someday soon! The comments on their forum however rather indicate that future releases (which are planned for sure) will be of a similar nature. Oh well.....

 

Cheers

Just got this today and it's a really nice disc. Some really good updates ,'Adonai' especially, which is excellent and a fabulous production/ mix too. Highly recommended from me.

got this other day... And its "nice". Fans of the early 80s Volz era will enjoy this. Some of the songs you cant tell the differnece... But Adonai is great.

 

Considering age and everything, Volz sounds great.

Somehow I missed this thread! What I find most interesting is the reconnect between Bob Hartman and Volz, Lawry, Weaver and Mark Kelly (where's he been?). John Schlitt made it sound like Bob was happily retired and done with music. Or so he thought? I wonder what John thinks of this? Either way, the Beat The System line-up back together is crazy stuff. The site is pretty barebones. It's designed to promote the CD and not much else. Does anyone know if they intend to record a full new album? Greg's voice sounds good on the samples, and his is clearly one of the best ever in rock. Up there with Lou Gramm, Mickey Thomas, etc. I like the John Schlitt "era" up through Wake Up Call, plus Jekyll & Hyde. Once Bob took a mentor role and was no longer actually within the band, things were less interesting.

I believe the plan for the band is to do another record of re-recorded songs plus two new ones and so a third album of all new material.

      Voodoo Angel - Moulin Rouge

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again. Voodoo Angel is: Jean-Luc Rumèbe : Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys Jim Red : Bass guitar & Backing vocals Christophe Mouynet : Lead Guitars & Backing vocals Thomas Feuga : Drums & Backing vocals Additional Backing Vocals on „So Pretty“ by Ricky Kearns

      Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.

      Guns N Roses - Appetite for destruction super deluxe reissue?

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      Dredging this up again, as you can now find this set new for about $50-60 shipped on eBay. I just finally bought it to get the 5.1 channel blu-ray version of the album. $179 for the set? No fucking way. But $50? Ehh, ok. more reasonable IMO.
