Moritz to release new album
|
15 November 2013
Moritz are set to release their eagerly awaited new album in early Spring 2013, to coincide with their first live shows in a
quarter of a century! Including a special guest slot at Rotherham’s ‘HRH AOR Festival on April 7th.
The new album ‘S O S’, will see a slight departure from the melodic rock from which the band are known for, and aside
from their signature AOR sound, the band have opened the door to their ‘Classic rock’ influences to make what is quite
simply a ‘monster’ of a record. The 11 track opus has already prompted reviewer Rob Evans to state the band were
“about to bring the roof down on the world of AOR”.
With the five original members, vocalist Peter Scallan, guitarists Greg Hart & Mike Nolan, bassist Ian Edwards & keyboardist
Andy Stewart, they are now augmented by new drummer John Tonks (Thunder, The Union, Bonnie Tyler). The new album
aided by engineer Ian Caple (Wildhearts, A-Ha, If Only) rocks at you from every angle, and looks sure to follow on from the
critically acclaimed and award winning ‘Undivided’ album from 2010 in spectacular fashion.
“ The production and sound on this album is something we are very proud of.. with a huge drum sound and the best playing
and singing of our lives, we are all tremendously excited about bringing this album to everyone. It will raise some eyebrows
and it is a risk in some ways...but we wanted to make a risky album, an album to show our true roots! More than just a
great AOR record, we hope our new album will please not just AOR fans, but Classic rock fans in general...”
A single ‘Gonna Lose Her’ is scheduled for download beginning of January, and the album set to follow in the Spring on
on the yet to be confirmed ‘Harmony Factory’ label.
‘S O S’ will be available on download, & CD initially, and set to consist the following tracks :
S O S, Amber Lee , Fire, Remember Yesterday, Caught Between Life & The Light, Invincible, Gonna Lose Her,
Mercury Falling, Souls of Fire, Hide My Heart & Flying Too Close To The Sun
