lettard Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Bangalore Choir featuring frontman David Reece will be releasing a new album titled Center Mass via Cherry Red Records on July 7, 2023. The new release will include a bonus live CD titled Live In Hamburg. “The cult US hard rock band return with a stylistic and spiritual classic to follow their iconic 1992 debut album ‘On Target’. Released with a bonus CD of a brilliant live set, recorded in Hamburg during the summer of 2022. Fronted by former Accept and Bonfire vocalist David Reece, Bangalore Choir emerged in 1991 at the tail end of the 1980s melodic metal movement, instantly impressing the rock press with big choruses, melodic guitar playing and songwriting contributions by Jon Bon Jovi, Aldo Nova and Autograph’s Steve Plunkett! The new album ‘Center Mass’ is a direct sequel in style to ‘On Target’, sure to excite fans of the debut album and of the melodic heavy rock genre. David Reece explains: “I am very happy with this brand new Bangalore Choir record, we really went for everything that made the debut the great album that it was; loads of harmony vocals, big hooks, and great guitar solos. We also worked really hard on the songs making sure we had only the very best set of tunes for this album.” Track List for Center Mass (Disc One): 01. Spirit Rider 02. Back To Life 03. I Just Wanna Love You 04. Heat of The Night 05. Wind At My Back 06. Blame It On Me 07. Back 2 U 08. Downtime With The Devil 09. Without You 10. While Bullets Fly 11. If The Good Die Young Part 2 12. Love Hurts Track List for Live In Hamburg (Disc Two): 01. Just One Night 02. Loaded Gun 03. Slippin’ Away 04. Victim of The Night 05. If The Good Die Young 06. Freight Train Rollin’ 07.

Captain Howdy Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 I didn't hate the last couple of albums but they just were not Bangalore Choir, so if this is truly a follow up to On target, count me in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettard Posted June 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Dont love it...dont hate it either...but I will say its better than the output since On Target for me...but its nowhere near that standard even if they are going with the direct follow up thingy.

lettard Posted July 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Got this today,its not too bad,never going to be as good as the debut but a mile better than their other previous,he definitely went for the On Target vibe and era this time, enjoying it more than I'd anticipated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 "The cult US hard rock band return." Is anyone else from the debut even on this album? Wow, I hadn't seen this write-up before listening to the album. Seems a few falsities to me, but I guess they're just trying to sell an album, so who can blame them. Unless deceptiveness is not up your alley. There was only one song on the album where I actually thought to myself - without seeing this write up - hey there, are they actually trying to replicate the style of the debut here? And that was the ballad, 'I Just Wanna Love You.' But even this one won't be making my 2023 playlist. Just a bog average album, I regret to say.
