this will sound less POL i guess because Erik Martensson is behind the songwriting engine hence the euro-sound of it (don't know if Jim Peterik involved in couple of songs inside?), but it's totally great based on the two songs there, still premature to say but could be great enough to contend WoA and Lionville for the top AOR position at the end of year :guitbannana:

AFAIK, none of the Jim's ( Jamison & Peterik ) are involved in any way with Toby's album. That said, the next Jimi Jamison album will be another Erik Martensen masterpeice, he's working on the songs as I'm writing this I guess. I guess Jimi's solo album should be out in 2012.

yup i heard about it, if we're lucky, Jimi's album could be out by the end of this year, just like Vega did a suprise last year :D

 

the Martin brothers, Robert Sall, and Eric Martensson are among the very best songwriting machines out there, don't know what food are they eating :christmas:

Not too impressed with those samples, but will probably end up buying this anyway. Are Pride of Lions done as a band/duo? Anyone know?

 

P.O.L are not done yet AFAIK, seems there'll be some gigs for the band in 2012 & hopefully a new album.

 

Yeah should be a new POL album next year - hope its back to the debut and not as cheesy as the last one.

 

As for this solo album, from what ive read of people that have heard the whole thing, its supposed to be pretty stunning - much more WET than POL. Expectations are high.....very high.

I don't think Hitchcock's album sounds that different from POL myself. I loved POL and would love to hear a new disc from them this year too. Unlike Glen though I hope it's nothing like their debut!

Only two full songs ("This is the Moment" and the title-track). Is more straight-ahead than latter POL stuff (more like the style on their debut), but it does sound pretty awesome...

He has such an awesome voice, I just really hope there aren't as many ballads as there are on the POL albums. There's almost a ballad for every up tempo song, which is far too much for me!

from what ive read there are NO ballads. Which is just fine by me.......

 

And the second half of the album is supposed to be some pretty rocky stuff. Much heavier than Pride of Lions.

It sounds pretty good but I'm still quite convinced this won't reach POL heights... Jim Peterik is probably the best AOR songwriter in the world so for granted the material is not gonna be as strong, we already know that. But I have pre-ordered this and I'm ready to change my mind.

To early to tell but it is MUCH heavier than POL. This isn't really AOR - more MHR especially on the second half. The POL debut is great and will wlways be a special album but this is great too.

Wow, those two songs are both pretty stunning. They sure as hell single-handedly destroy anything POL ever managed to record.

 

Who knows, this one might actually live up to the hype it's been getting? :)

Every song is virtually of the same quality....a small dip here and there but excellent throughout.

Another great song. I can see this album will kick my ass. Gorgeous girl too - though I'm not actually quite sure what she's meant to be doing. And I don't think she is either. :lol: Glad they put her in the filmclip to combat the dreaded no-microphone awkward lead singer moments.

      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.
