Bio:
Danger Angel is a hard rock band from Athens, Greece. The band was formed in 2006 by Ethan Snow (guitars) and Spiros Foussekis (guitars), both members of several small, local bands and private projects since the early nineties. Mike Kasidakis is referenced as the original singer and was replaced by Jimmy Cage in 2008 (left 2010), while Tony V. (drums) and Rudy Rallis (bass) joined up in 2008 too. AHAS took over the keyboards spot a while earlier in 2007, while vocalist M.T. (vocals) joined the band in 2010, replacing Jimmy Cage. Spyros Foussekis left during the summer of 2010 and the band decided to continue as a 5-piece. Danger Angel agreed on a worldwide deal with American label Perris Records in August, 2009 and released their debut album in January 2010. Their second album featuring M.T. in the vocal seat, with the double entendre title “Revolutia” was released in 2013, again via Perris records and was a critics’ and fan favorite all round the world. It was followed by a successful European Tour. M.T. and Danger Angel parted ways early in 2014 but the band lost no time looking around as they, almost immediately, filled the spot with BJ whom they met (and appreciated) during the 2013 European tour as a member of the JSS band. They announced BJ in August 2014 while they had already started recordings for their third album.Members come from different backgrounds, Ethan Snow (guitars) and Rudy Rallis (bass) being former members of rock, hard rock and heavy metal bands like Sacrament, Vertigo and Delivers Of Rock, while AHAS (keyboards) came from a more funk-RnB oriented background, also being a founding member of the Christian Rock band “the Floks”, with whom he released two albums “No Matter What” (2003) and “Ystati Katharotita (tr. Ultimate Purity)” (2009). He was also the keyboards player for the Greek pop-rock band Nekyia (Warner Music) with whom he released an album titled “I Ekdikisi Tis Siopis (tr. Revenge Of Silence)” (2009). His ex side project “Mamacita On Fire” was a band of a more Rock-RnB style. AHAS, is a certified keyboards, piano and jazz theory professor and also plays the trumpet. AHAS is also responsible for the Administration, Management and Maintenance departments of the “Anagennisi” (tr. Renaissance) Conservatory in Athens, Greece. Tony V. (drums) was a former member of Silver R.I.S.C. in the early nineties, with whom he released an album in 1992, titled “Anything She Does”. Tony has been a sought after session drummer ever since Vocalist B.J. started his career at 17, being member for Brazilian local bands like Henceforth and Skyscraper while he recorded his first album at 18 with The Pills, making his debut appearance in the Brazilian MTV. Constant member of the Brazilian hard rock band Tempestt, he released an album titled “Bring ’em On” in 2008 followed by a world tour. He released his first solo album in 2013, titled “Acoustic Heroes” as a tribute to his influences. Since 2009 he is a steady member of the JSS band and since 2014 he is a member of the new Jeff Scott Soto project SOTO. In 2014, he performed with Talisman as a keyboard player and back vocalist for their much anticipated reunion performance at the Sweden Rock Festival. Apart from his amazing vocal talent, BJ expertly plays guitar and keyboards.
Album:
DANGER ANGEL is band from Athens, Greece. The band has been running about since 2006 and consists of five musicians forging melodic Hard Rock. DANGER ANGEL released its debut album in 2010. Produced by legendary singer Jeff Scott Soto and mixed & mastered by John Ellis of Prism Sound Studios, DANGER ANGEL follow a new direction of sound and music with the new, second, album “Revolutia”.It seemed to me that every song on this CD was meticulously made. I especially liked “Not An Angel” with amazing keys, bass line and stronger riffs that build a mysterious and interesting atmosphere, it sticks around for a while, catchy chorus with pouring out melody, brilliant sounds, great guitar solo played by Ethan Snow and a great rhythm section, bass played by Rudy Rallis synchronizing pretty well with drums played by Tony V.. “When I’m Gone”, where there are melodies, AOR oriented, highly catchy chorus filled with harmonies and bright keyboards. “Falling” displays a fine piano intro that reminded me of H.I.M. but rapidly changed into heavier moments that laid the path for a chorus to remember. Vocalist M.T. has a melodic voice with lots of power. Each little particle of sound is on perfect position. On “Decadence” there is a close proximity to DEF LEPPARD and BON JOVI, I could notice the sounds of 80s guitars demonstrating sheer melodic riffs, choir type singing, similar to AOR, an impressive guitar solo enhanced by a brilliant solo of keyboards played by AHAS. Just feel the energy & power! “My Last Day On Earth” has a great sound with well written lyrics and a high caliber melody in the chorus, a killer.Also worth to be mentioned are: “One Hit In The Night”, “Don’t Die Young” with full of life, “Dead By Christmas” with a Punkish attitude, pretty cheery, “I’m Not Here” with elements of electronics, energy & melody like THE POODLES and the lofty “King Of Thieves” with incredible energetic riffs.DANGER ANGEL has various of potential hits. Every song has a new idea; each and every one is different. The engineering of the sound produced an enjoyable listener. It is possible that every fan of melodic Hard Rock, especially in the spirit 80s with a little bit of the modern touch like ECLIPSE, W.E.T., JEFF SCOTT SOTO, even BON JOVI and DEF LEPPARD. Right after my first session with it, it became a favorite.
