BAD MOON RISING To Release Triple CD Via FRONTIERS

April 22, 2005

Frontiers Records have announced that they have secured a deal with the Los Angeles–based hard rock group BAD MOON RISING.

BAD MOON RISING released during the '90s three amazing hard rock albums that highlighted the talents of British singer Kal Swan and axeman Doug Aldrich (currently guitarist for WHITESNAKE). Both musicians were former members of LION, while bassist Ian Mayo and drummer Jackie Ramos (who joined after the first album was released) had played together in HERICANE ALICE and BANGALORE CHOIR. Prior to relocating from England to Los Angeles, Swan was the frontman of the NWOBHM band TYTAN.

The group's self-titled debut album, produced by Mack (QUEEN) was released in 1991 and features such luminaries as former UFO guitar-god Michael Schenker and Robin McAuley together with ex-QUIET RIOT and HOUSE OF LORDS bassist Chuck Wright and ex-HOUSE OF LORDS and ALICE COOPER drummer Ken Mary. The record was never released officially in Europe, even if it immediately gathered the status of a cult album.

1993 saw the release of the band's second album, "Blood", the most mature and ass-kicking hard rock effort, that is still today regarded as one of the classic hard rock highlights of the '90s. After Aldrich's debut solo album, BAD MOON RISING released their last album, "Opium For The Masses", which came out in different versions in Japan, France, Korea, USA and rest Europe. Each of them had its peculiar bonus tracks which are now finally resumed on the Frontiers reissue.
