Bio:
Silent Rage formed in 1985 with founding members EJ Curse, Jesse Damon and Mark Hawkins. The band is known for their signature songwriting style of blending melody with hard-driving rock. Silent Rage remains unique from other 80’s bands by having Jesse Damon share the lead vocal duties with Hawkins and Curse.In 1987 they teamed up with Producer/Artist PAUL SABU for their first critically acclaimed CD, “SHATTERED HEARTS”. Silent Rage, appeared on three different albums simultaneously that year. The Motion Picture Soundtrack for “Million Dollar Mystery” and the KNAC Compilation CD “Ten Best From The West”. “Shattered Hearts” went on to be #1 on the European Import Charts.In 1988 GENE SIMMONS signed them to Simmons Records/RCA and drummer Brian James Fox (White Tiger) joined the Band. For SR’s 2nd release, Paul Sabu and Gene Simmons were chosen to lend their production skills. In 1989 they released “DON’T TOUCH ME THERE” to rave reviews. That too, reached #1 on European Import Charts. The song “REBEL WITH A CAUSE” was released as a single and video, and debuted on MTV’s “Head Banger’s Ball“. Next, the Band toured with BLACK SABBATH for the “Headless Cross” tour. In the early 90’s, Silent Rage continued touring and writing. They also wrote & performed with other projects, EJ with Doro Pesch and Jesse with Kiss. Unfortunately, the Grunge scene eventually forced them into hiatus.In 2000 Silent Rage re-united to sign a new record deal and added Rodney Pino on drums. They reissued their first two CD’s in 2001 and released their third new CD, “Still Alive” in 2002. “Still Alive” was produced by BOB EZRIN (Kiss, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper) and Co-Produced by KEVIN BEAMISH (R.E.O. Speedwagon, Y&T) and Silent Rage. They made their 1st UK appearance at the Z Rock festival.In 2007 Silent Rage signed a new record deal with Frontiers Records for their 4th CD, “FOUR LETTER WORD”. It was released in 2008 and produced By Gilby Clarke . The material continued to mesh melody with metal and big memorable choruses. It also features some very special guests performances by Bruce Kulick (KISS), Bobby Blotzer (Ratt), Gilby Clarke (Guns N Roses), Dilana (Rockstar Supernova) and even their former drummer Brian James Fox.In 2009 Retrospect Records re-issued a newly re-mastered version of the “Shattered Hearts” CD. Rage recorded a brand new bonus track “Sole Survivor” and once again was lucky enough to have Paul Sabu produce. Silent Rage also performed at one of the US’s largest 80’s music festivals “ROCKLAHOMA 2009” and briefly toured Europe.2011: Silent Rage has endured for more than a quarter of a century of hard rock Heaven and Hell. Although, the band members may have ventured out with Jesse Damon’s three solo CD releases and EJ Curse’s bass duties with Doro Pesch, White Lion & Gilby Clarke, Silent Rage remains the major part of their musical lives. They are Rebels With A Cause. They are Still Alive. They will touch you, shatter your heart and rock you hard for another 25 years!
Album:
SILENT RAGE‘s debut album “Shattered Hearts”, another essential record in your ’80s Melodic Hard Rock / AOR collection, just has been remastered by Rock Candy Records and featured here in exclusive.Based in Los Angeles, Silent Rage formed way back in 1985 and soon resulted picked up by Melodic Rock craftsman Paul Sabu whom would go on to provide some songwriting, as well as production, mix & engineering for this much overlooked debut album “Shattered Hearts”.Sabu helped to shape Silent Rage’s sound in the American Melodic Hard Rock / AOR style of the second half of the ’80s, much in the vein of his own band from the era; Only Child.Fronted by talented Jesse Damon, Silent Rage’s music fist full of heavy yet catchy melodies placed them at the forefront of a scene bursting with big-time possibilities.They were in good company with such masters as Guiffria, House of Lords and White Sister; acts that infused their sound with memorable hooks, tough guitar riffs and big bold songs.Fans of the genre expected them to make a major splash – and in many ways they certainly did – despite registering a lack of major commercial success.The band origins date back to the late Seventies working under the simpler handle of Rage, the band eventually settled as a four man unit led by vocalist Jesse Damon (real name Timmy James Reilly) and through a succession of brief encounters managed to hook up with producer/artist Paul Sabu.It was Paul who suggested they track their debut album and helped to introduce them to Chameleon Records who subsequently signed the band.Issued in 1987, ‘Shattered Hearts’ is one of the era’s finest melodic rock releases. It perfectly encapsulates the spirit of rock of the late ’80s, pushing the envelope with big hooks, commanding vocals, blistering guitar riffs and production values that perfectly encapsulate the band’s sound and style.The album opens with the punchy ‘Rich Young And Pretty’, followed by one of my favorites, the AORish ‘Rebel With A Cause’. This track was later re-recorded by Silent Rage for their second effort but this original version has a special magic.You can hear Sabu’s touch in title track ‘Shattered Hearts’, as well as on ‘Fight For Rock’, some kind of a hair metal anthem.“Sarina” is a super melodic rock tune with a sing-along chorus, and ‘Make It Or Break It’ has a commercial hit single potential if it would have been properly promoted.‘Goodnight Lorraine’ is true US AOR 1987, same with ‘You’re Not The First One’ plenty of keys, and another fav of mine, the excellent ‘Some Kind Of Woman’.An underrated US Melodic Hard Rock / AOR album that should be placed higher in everyone’s ‘best of the ’80s’ list, Silent Rage’s “Shattered Hearts” is full of ’80s magic, hooks, huge choruses and gang backing vocals that made this genre so beloved.
