ZAR - From Welcome...To Goodbye (reissue with bonus tracks)

[Stefan]

 

Reissue out September 27th through Metalapolis Records.

RE-RELEASE WITH BONUS TRACKS!
After the release of the great and successful debut album “Live Your Life Forever“ in 1990, the German Heavy Rock outfit ZAR had to part ways with their renowned singer John Lawton (Ex-URIAH HEEP, ex-LUCIFER’S FRIEND, ex-LES HUMPHRIES SINGERS). Unfortunately, this happened in the middle of the production of their second album. ”Sorted Out“. With the young and very talented singer Thommy Bloch they found their new voice very quick, and the album became a great success in Germany and Asia. 2 years later, in 1993, they recorded the follow-up album “From Welcome…To Goodbye”, which is their masterpiece, their most commercial but also the band’s most mature album. Melodic Metal at its best!

It was a big success in central Europe and especially in Japan. The album marks a short-term reunion with their original singer John Lawton on the track “Eagle’s Flight”. Guitarist and mastermind Tommy Clauss gave his vocal debut for ZAR on the Jimi Hendrix Cover “Angel”. “Never So Alone” was a huge hit in the biggest Rock Clubs those days. The original CD version is out of print for nearly 25 years now and it is time for a re-release. The album will be released in the original way. No remastering, no remix, only the way the people loved and still love it. But this time as digipak and with two bonus tracks. The first one is the cover version of the SURVIVOR smash hit “Didn’t Know It was Love and the second one is the instrumental track “Kroda Bushi” with Japanese vibes. “From Welcome…To Goodbye” is a must have if you dig great catchy Metal and if you want to party like in the good ole times!

Think I only ever heard/have the John Lawton fronted Live Your Life Forever,which I enjoyed...for some reason I never followed up their other material.
