Bio:
LA Based outfit, A New Revenge, featuring an all star line up of classic rock players, will release their debut album, Enemies & Lovers on March 29th, 2019 via Golden Robot Records.Supergroup is a term that has been diluted over time. Throwing a bunch of people from other bands into a new project doesn’t automatically make them Super, but their bio’s will tell you otherwise. It’s time to seek revenge and reclaim that word!A New Revenge is the very definition of a supergroup. One who’s members have more than earned their legendary statuses but also remain humble enough to let the music do the talking and not actually rely on the term.So who is out for A New Revenge?Featuring one of the finest voices in metal of all time, Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens (who’s voice is all over albums from Judas Priest, Iced Earth and Yngwie Malmsteen), one of the most versatile and name checked guitarists in rock Keri Kelli (Slash’s Snake Pit, Alice Cooper, Vince Neil Band and a hundred more) the most iconic bass player in heavy metal history, Rudy Sarzo (who’s work with Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Whitesnake and many more has earned him an almost revered status in heavy music) and long time Scorpions drummer James Kottak (also from Montrose, Warrant, Kingdom Come & more)A New Revenge is greater than the sum of its’ parts, although its parts are pretty damn mind blowing!The foursome is an explosive combination with every band member’s skillset and battle tested charisma breaking through the bleak wasteland of current day modern heavy metal.Razor sharp riffs, thunderous drums and those soaring vocals that come charging in from on high to lay waste to the landscape. A New Revenge are forged from the very heart of heavy metal.
Album:
LA-based super-group A NEW REVENGE will release their debut album ‘Enemies & Lovers’ on March 29th, tomorrow in Japan with an exclusive bonus track.An all-star line up of classic hard rock veterans, A New Revenge includes Keri Kelli (Slash’s SnakePit, Alice Cooper, Vince Neil Band), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Whitesnake, Quiet Riot), James Kottak (Scorpions, Warrant, Kingdom Come) and vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens (Judas Priest, Iced Earth, Yngwie Malmsteen).The eleven songs recorded here are a treat for ears of hard rock fans. A positive vibe, an ease and great hooks, that’s what this album is all about. While inspired by the traditional style of the genre, what surprises is the modern and dynamic sound of the album.Opener “The Distance Between” starts with a slow modern riff and slowly builds up from there. The chorus is pretty good and Ripper howls at the end of it with his characteristic power.“The Way” has a heavier approach on melody, “Never Let You Go”, “Fallen” and the title track are also melodious yet mot modern in its execution.Then the most commercial, radio friendly track on the CD arrive with “Glorious”, some kind of mix between late '80s Alice Cooper and poppy Bon Jovi. Similar to this catchy approach are tracks like “The Eyes” and “Here’s To Us”.Closer “Scars”, however, is heavier, and quite dark.A NEW REVENGE 's ‘Enemies & Lovers’ delivers some stupendous musicianship. Aside from Kottak who only plays it safe (to keep the songs easy to follow) throughout the whole album, Kelli, Ripper and especially Sarzo do a great job in terms of individual performances. I wouldn’t expect any less, though, as these are well-seasoned musicians with plenty of craftsmanship.On the other hand, while there's strong songs on this debut, I think the songwriting isn't that consistent. I mean, I was expecting more memorable scales, choruses, etc. This is a fine album, but a grower.
