THUNDER RISING “Back to the Time of Rock” NEW ALBUM out 04th
MARCH 2022
Music for the Masses is proud to announce the agreement
with RTI Mediaset for the cd release of the new album by Thunder
Rising, featuring well-known guitarist Frank Caruso, out on March 4th
2022, entitled
“BACK TO THE TIME OF
ROCK”
(In Japan Release
date 31 March)
Born from the
mind of the Italian guitarist Frank
Caruso, known for his numerous projects such as
Firehouse, Arachnes and Vivaldi Metal Project above all, superband Thunder Rising is back
on the record market with a brand-new album called “Back to the time of Rock”,
the Band’s latest studio effort.
A rocky, melodic sound, hypertechnical and exquisitely hard rocking:
this is Thunder Rising, which since their debut (featuring Mark Boals)
on, have always pursued a musical dimension of their own, growing it
step after step.
“Back To The Time Of
Rock”, out on March 4th 2022 will be their
first to be released by Music
For The Masses. Twelve extraordinary tracks, a real
time travel towards the re-discovery of sounds from the past but in a
modern key, capable of striking and fascinating any listener.
In addition, we’d like to point out a Bonus Track which will only be
featured on the cd version and not in the Digital stores: “Stairs to
the top”.
The Band is currently shooting the Videoclip of the first single “FATE TRAIN” to be
released in the forthcoming weeks.
THUNDER RISING
Thunder Rising - a super Group composed by great professional musicians
united to deliver the best hard rock of our time.
Rock in its purest, sheerest form, brought to you by these five
modern-day hard rock'n'rollers.
New album "Back to the time of Rock" is going to be released
in March 2022
The project THUNDER
RISING was born in 2012 from an idea by Frank Caruso and Corrado "Nail" Ciceri.
The two old friends re-meet by chance after twenty years when, back in
1986, they founded their first band called FIREHOUSE that would release
two albums all over Europe. It's during those years that they fall in
love with the voice of Mark Boals, then lead singer of guitar
phenomenon Y.J.Malmsteen!
After twenty years of different musical careers: Frank Caruso (in
Arachnes with which he releases eight albums and Strings24 of which
Frank is founder and publisher of two albums) and Corrado Ciceri (with
his fifteen years with the band Wine Spirit on the most important Live
Stages such as Gods Of Metal, Metal Mèan Festival, Glenn Hughes, Alvin
Lee and many others and four worldwide released albums) rejoined to
start a new project
The NEW Album
I have the pleasure to tell the story of the brand new Thunder Rising
album, an album born during full pandemic and in a difficult moment.
We were working on a tv production in order to make part of its
soundtrack and the storyboard implemented some 70’s, almost 60’s, style tracks.
That’s when I dusted off some old Hammond voices and guitar sounds
typical ol’Fenders…..
And here’s the idea: going back, as a sign of tribute, over all that
repertoire that made not just the history of rock music but, and above
all, it is integral part of our musical training!
No sooner said than done,I started a reflection with my bandmates and,
if the first albums represented a journey on a more American-style
songwriting, this time we decided to sail new seas…
By mutual agreement with my fellas, we started writing and working
hard!
The new pandemic arrival and therefore the sanitary emergency ended up
blocking everyone at home, forcing us to suspend the recording
sessions.
We only had half the tracks done but we couldn’t stand the waiting!
It was on March 2021 and, thanks to our editor (RTI-Mediaset), the
first Ep (a.k.a. THUNDER
RISING III) was released.
As soon as it was published, the critical consent was very positive so
that we immediately came back recording the second part, released the
same year (October 2021) and called THE TIME MACHINE.
The two EPs represent two different musical ages: The first turned
toward the ’80 and ’90 while “THE TIME MACHINE” is a
real going back in time to the glorious ’70 and to their
primal rock roots with explicit historic-riff mentions.
It’s crucial to know that the recreation of the sounds has been
possible by using real vintage instruments (guitars as well as amps)
and even the digital parts have been re-elaborated keeping in mind what
were the iconic equipment and tools of the past. A great deal of work
has been done in researching and emulating the old sounds like
Tape-Echo and Analog Mixing Consoles.
Meanwhile on the market my early album reissues were published and,
thanks to the meeting with Music For The Masses, the idea to release a
new album including the previous two eps (available only in digital)
took place.
Moreover we wanted the new full-length to include some extras.
For this reason some tracks appear in different versions (extended)
but, more importantly, the ‘physical’ copy includes an exclusive new
track not present on the digital one called “Stairs To The Top“.
