From Perris Records:

Perris Records announces the CD release of LastWorld’s “Beautiful Illusion” on January 5th. LastWorld returns once again with their 5th album in just under 5 years. One would think there would be a slow down having created all the music you’ve come to know and love, but no, Jim Shepard and David Cagle have once again filled their new album “Beautiful Illusion” with all the Melodic Hard Rock you would expect from LastWorld. And as usual they have thrown a few surprises you would expect too. The first single and video “Don’t Tell Me I’m Wrong” is out now. Visit https://linktr.ee/lastworldartist to purchase “Beautiful Illusion”.

Jim Shepard from LastWorld, “When it comes to finally releasing a new LastWorld album (5 in 5 years) it’s always exciting. We think every release is our best, but what really makes it great is when the fans (friends that is) post and email from around the world telling us what THEY think. Our new album “Beautiful Illusion” fits right in the middle of all our releases. Where our first outing opened the door for us, signing with Perris Records has kicked the door down, and now with Perris Records pairing with Michael Brandvold Marketing PR firm… I expect the music of LastWorld will be even BETTER known.” – Jim Shepard

Tom Mathers, President Perris Records, “This is the 4th Lastworld Cd on Perris Records and in only 4 years. The wonderful artwork again was done by Nello Dell’Omo and the music was mastered by JK Northrup. All melodic hard rock fans will enjoy the music written and played by Jim Shepard with the melodic, soulful rock voice of David Cagle.”

  • Stefan changed the title to LastWorld - Beautiful Illusion
  • 1 month later...

Pretty weak album overall (in both song writing and production departments) but this is a pretty irresistible AOR tune and the album's only highlight for me;

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
