![]() We just wanted to add some heaviness, a little George Lynch soulful playing and then let Wil fly with that phenomenal voice.” ‘Ordinary World’ is such a great melodic and emotional song, a song I think George and I have always loved. Pilson, meanwhile, says “The purpose of this whole record, besides having a lot of fun making it, was to take amazing hit songs and interpret them in a way that was true to the greatness of the original but that also brought something new and fresh to the song. It was an honor and a challenge to cover it in that we had to thread the needle between respecting the original vision of the arrangement but putting our stamp on it as well.” If you’ve ever wondered what an amped-up, full-throttle version of Carole King’s “I Feel The Earth Move” or Prince’s “Kiss” or Oasis’ “Champagne Supernova” or Madonna’s “Music,” then this is the album for you!Īs a special treat, the band has released the first single from the album – a powerful rendition of Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World” – featuring Martin on vocals, offering just a small taste of what’s in store.Īs Lynch himself explains, “I was never a huge Duran Duran fan but I always loved this song. ![]() But this new batch of recordings, entitled appropriately enough Heavy Hitters, stands apart not only for its outstanding roster of players and vocalists including head Bulletboy Marq Torien, Fishbone’s Angelo Moore, Kansas native Wil Martin (Earshot) and drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake/Ozzy) but for the jaw-dropping song selection. The CD also features an acoustic ballad called " Sun Red Sun", which is built under a laidback pace, a tribute to the late great BADLANDS/ BLACK SABBATH/ PHENOMENA singer Ray Gillen (RIP) and also a cover of BAD COMPANY’s "Burnin’ Sky" corrupted by the Lynch shredding mania.Guitar-shredding virtuoso George Lynch has reteamed with former Dokken bandmate Jeff Pilson for a set of new studio recordings that turn pop music classics into powerful metal anthems! The two have previously made metal magic together as a duo on the 2003 album Wicked Underground, which was recently reissued on vinyl, as well as with other projects such as T&N and The End Machine. "Play The Game" and the more groove-oriented cut "Erotika" is perfectly in concordance with the early LYNCH MOB sound, "Believers of the Day” is more in the 70’s 'let’s jam fashion' kind of structure while "Subliminal Dream" is clearly set in the old DOKKEN tradition! The monstruous instrumental “Black Waters” recall the sublime “Sacred Groove” period with this moody atmospheric method yet enhanced in a dynamic sonic maelstrom! This is "Sun Red Sun" and was written and recorded by the same line up as the " Sound Mountain Sessions" George Lynch/Oni Logan/Robbie Crane/Scot Coogan, this release also contains remastered version of this ep as a bonus, those tracks even rose in an higher degree in this new environment!īefore the much anticipated album set for late January : “Only To Rise” in collaboration with extraordinary STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet and after KXM/ T&N or LYNCH-PILSON short lived projects, "Sun Red Sun" is reassuring, more exciting than the disappointing "Sound Mountain Sessions" and once again the unique alchemy between Oni Logan & George Lynch is working well and it showcases their ever evolving style & songwriting abilities. ![]() If arguably "Sun Red Sun" is the 11th release by LYNCH MOB, as far as i’m concerned, they had never reach the excellence of the first two albums, who are still highly praised writing in golden letters in my glorious book of Heavy Metal, especially their second self titled offer with Robert Mason ( BIG COCK/ WARRANT/ex CRY OF LOVE) on Lead Vocals which remains my all time favorite from LYNCH & Co.
