Bio:
Bangalore Choir is an American hard rock band formed in 1991. They were formed by the former frontman of Accept, David Reece, and guitarists Curt Mitchell and John Kirk (both formerly of Razor Maid). Joining them from Hericane Alice, was bassist Ian Mayo and Jackie Ramos on drums, future members of the band Bad Moon Rising with Whitesnake/Dio guitarist Doug Aldrich and Lion/Tytan vocalist Kal Swann. Their debut album was produced by Max Norman, and featured songs co written by Jon Bon Jovi and Aldo Nova. Despite having big names involved, the album was not a success.Mayo and Ramos moved on to the band Bad Moon Rising. Mayo also continued with the band Burning Rain. Reece formed the band Sircle of Silence before disappearing from the music scene. Curt Mitchell now is a guitar teacher in Nevada and has his own guitar site.2010, talks of a reunion resurfaced with Reece being the driving force. John Kirk, Ian Mayo, and Jackie Ramos declined offers to join the band again, but Curt Mitchell accepted as well as original bassist Danny Greenberg. These three original members, along with new guitarist Andy Susemihl (formerly of U.D.O.) and drummer Hans in 't Zandt, made a new Bangalore Choir album in spring and summer of 2010, called Cadence. The album was released on September 23, 2010 through German label AOR Heaven.In November 2011, David Reece's Facebook page stated vocals were completed on a new Bangalore Choir album. This new album "Metaphor" was released in April 2012.
Album:
Bangalore Choir is back full force and ready to rock our worlds once again.Ok, don't expect a new 'On Target' No. 2, that was then and this is now after 18years.'Cadence' isn't as catchy as the debut was but it's more mature and it rocks hard too! I have to admit that after all these years I was hoping for a 'On Target No2' because their debut is one of my favourite albums which is played regularly in my cd player. But I have to stop saying about the past and focus on this new great album. 'Power Trippin'' is a punchy guitar driven track with some really aggressive vocals from Mr. Reece. A huge hard rockin' tune. 'Martyr ' is a bit more commercial song and one of my favourites from 'Cadence'. 'Tomorrow' starts with some really heavy riffs, big pounding drums and Reece's powerfull vocals. A heavier tune without loosing its melodies. ' Sweet Temptation' is a very good melodic hard rock tune while 'High On the Clouds' and 'Spirits Too the Bleed' are "difficult" tunes but overall nice rockin' songs. Overall this is a very good comeback from Bangalore Choir. Maybe their sound is more updated and harder at parts but for sure this album will please all of their fans that have waited for so long.Interestingly David informs songs had been written for a followup back then which he'd hoped to include on the recent On Target re-release, but to no avail. Better late than never, we have a followup and while I completely agree it mostly treads different ground to its predecessor, there's plenty familiar BC to enjoy. The songs are strong and to these ears this is a healthy blend of BC and Reece solo (Universal Language), David bringing the band into 2010 with a more raw sound. I don't rate quite every song but the majority of this one kicks and Cadence is one of the strongest melodicrock releases of late. Great to finally have this band back and of course David Reece brings the real strength to the album, those wonderful vocals complete this package, the man sounding as good as he did back when! Highly recommended!
