Reunited BLACK ROSE Releases First New Recordings In 20 Years

April 14, 2008

Reunited UK NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) band BLACK ROSE has finished recording a new demo as a taste of what is to come on the group's new full-length album, due later in the year. These are the first recordings made by BLACK ROSE in nearly 20 years.

Four brand new song snippets can be heard at the band's MySpace page.

BLACK ROSE was formed back in the early 1980s in the North East of England. The band released quite a few records, including various singles, EPs and two albums "Boys Will Be Boys" (Bullet Records, 1984) and "Walk It How You Talk It" (Neat Records, 1987). After splitting up in 1989, two original members of the band Steve Bardsley (lead vocals, guitar) and Chris Watson (lead guitar) decided to get back together and write some brand new material. They were joined by Kiko Rivers (bass) and Mal "Malla" Smith (drums).

A 15-track BLACK ROSE compilation CD featuring some of the band's '80s material, entitled "Bright Lights Burnin'", has been released through Majestic Rock Records.
