LIGHTNING STRIKES\u00a0 \u2013 \u201cCant Cross The Rainbow\u201d \u2013 official single from the album “Lightning Strikes” – official release date: 18th of November 2016 by PURE LEGEND RECORDS <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes! Southern California\u2019s LIGHTNING STRIKES are set to unleash what it is their full-length debut album through PURE LEGEND RECORDS. Originally formed in 1985, LIGHTNING STRIKES were part of the then red hot L.A. metal scene and issued a now highly collectable 7\u201d single, but became a casualty of war when line-up problems beset the band\u2019s first incarnation and let to its early demise.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It would be another quarter century before founding member\/drummer Karpis Maksudian decided to pick up the pieces as it were and resurrect the dream. Joined by bassist Cat Tate (SNEW, RED AGAIN), another member of the original LIGHTNING STRIKES line-up, he began working on new material while pulling in a number of A-list players to fulfill his vision. Enter guitarist extraordinaire, Rob Math (LEATHERWOLF, PLAYER) and Brazilian vocalist Nando Fernandes (HANGAR), a recommendation by noted guitarist\/producer Roy Z, who became the other two main protagonists in the new LIGHTNING STRIKES. Maksudian also reached out to Derek Sherinian (DREAM THEATER, KISS) to add keyboards and brought in a pair of stellar guest vocalists, Tony Martin of BLACK SABBATH fame, who is heard on \u2018Death Valley\u2019 and \u2018301 AD Sin of Our Fathers\u2019, as well as Noah, flamboyant frontman for Japanese rockers AVANCHICK, who adds a far Eastern flavor on \u2018Kamikaze.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Mixed by Roy Z (JUDAS PRIEST, BRUCE DICKINSON, HELLOWEEN) and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (HALFORD, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ANVIL), \u2018Lightning Strikes\u2019 provides the listener with a formidable old school heavy rock experience, rooted in the vintage sounds of RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE (the seldom covered \u2018Our Lady\u2019 is LIGHTNING STRIKES\u2019 hat tip to the British masters) and classic 80\u2019s power metal with an epic touch as espoused by Martin era BLACK SABBATH.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
