DOKKEN: New Album To Receive Japanese Release In October
September 4, 2007According to HMV Japan, DOKKEN will release its new album, entitled "Lightining Strikes", in Japan on October 24. The CD will be issued via Rhino Records in the U.S. and Frontiers Records in Europe. The follow-up to 2004's "Hell to Pay" will feature the lineup of Don Dokken (vocals),Jon Levin (guitar, ex-WARLOCK),Barry Sparks (bass, TED NUGENT, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, MSG) and Mick Brown (drums). Backing vocals on six songs were laid down by legendary hard rock singer Jeff Scott Soto (JOURNEY, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, TALISMAN).
Soto previously stated about the CD: "The album really hits back home with the classic DOKKEN sound, if you've been waiting for them to return to 'Tooth And Nail' or 'Under Lock And Key', you're really gonna be pleased with this one!!"
Rhino Records in March revisited DOKKEN's early days with a pair of releases packed with previously unissued material. The first release, a CD entitled "From Conception: Live 1981", captures DOKKEN in an early, previously unseen concert recorded before the band signed with Elektra. The second release is the DVD debut of the band's first home video, the platinum-certified "Unchain the Night", which is expanded with unreleased videos and new extended interviews with the band.
