Bio:

China is a Hard Rock band from Switzerland.They celebrated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, international success in your albums reached the top 10 in each of Switzerland, and good rankings in the English, German and Japanese charts. China also gained notoriety through their changing singers. On each of their albums is heard another singer.China founded in 1985 by drummer John Dommen 1988 and signed a recording contract with Phonogram. In the cast Math Shiverow (vocals), Claudio Matteo (guitar), Freddy Laurence (guitar), Marc Lynn (bass) and John Dommen (drums) they take on the self-titled debut album. They receive support in the recordings of the two Crocus musicians Marc Storace (vocals) and Fernando von Arb (guitar). Storace sings some backing vocals and Von Arb wrote the song Back To You for the album.A tour as support for Victory follows the same way as another concert tour with Bonfire.Shiverow and Lynn left the band after the tour. Marc Lynn is rising a little later in the Gotthard , which are called at this time Krak. New singer is the former Krokus guitarist Patrick Mason and joins as the new bassist Brian Kofmehl of killer to the band.The next album Sign In The Sky falls, not least by working with producer Stephen Galfas from significantly more mature than the debut. The second single In The Middle Of The Night reached # 11 in the Swiss charts, the album lands at No. 2 But Mason does not stay in the band.Already on the tour he will be replaced by the American Eric St. Michaels, with China the live album Live China and the next studio album Go All The Way record. 1992 St. Michaels pulls back to America, which is why China complete the following gigs with three different singers. The main part takes Krokus singer Marc Storace. A recorded by Swiss Radio DRS Performance Live uff dr Gass of 1993 appears seven years later under the title Alive 2000 on CD.1995 China published their album Natural Groove , which comes up again with a new singer. Douglas McCowan distinguished here responsible for the vocals and the drums sits Giovanni Giorgi. After the album, the band is put on hold. In 2000, the band completed a tour China Revisited at the three singers are again at the start (Math Shiverow, Eric St. Michaels and Marc Storace).2003 come rumors that Patrick Mason (vocals), Claudio Matteo (guitar), Freddy Laurence (guitar), Brian Kofmehl (bass) and John Dommen (drums) are working on a new studio album. In May 2004, Freddy Laurence (aka Freddy Scherrer) increases as a substitute for Mandy Meyer at Gotthard one.In 2007, China reformed again and it is first time on 2 June 2007 at the Spirit of Rock together on stage again.After successful concerts in 2008 and 2009, China published in 2010 with the new guitarist Mack Schildknecht their fifth studio album in 15 years, Light Up The Dark . There follow in the summer including four as a support group of crocus.

Album:

The self-titled debut album by Swiss Melodic Hard Rock / AOR combo CHINA was remastered for the first time by YesterRock specialists (although not printed on the artwork due to license reasons), now a not easy to find disc.Depending the country of release, the original edition of “China” featured a different track list. This reissue include all tracks, plus the rare ‘When Passion Burns’ (not listed as bonus track though).If you love late ’80s catchy melodic hard rock with AOR waves here and there, you need to check out this album now.China born in 1985 by drummer John Dommen including into the line up Math Shiverow (vocals), Claudio Matteo (guitar), Freddy Laurence (guitar) and Marc Lynn (bass) and after some demos Phonogram resulted very interested in the band due their similarity in sound with Europe, a sensation at the moment.They stated to work on the self-titled debut album receiving support at the recordings of the two Krokus musicians Marc Storace (vocals) and Fernando von Arb (guitar). Storace sings some backing vocals and Von Arb wrote the song “Back To You”.The goal here was to create catchy, radiable melodic rock songs with AOR touches, heavy synths and multi-layered choruses.While China’s sound on this album is pretty Americanized to conquer the US market (something augmented in China’s awesome 2nd album), they still has some of that ‘Euro bite’, especially on some edgy guitar riffs in the style of Europe / Norum or TNT.You can’t go wrong with any title here, all are killer tunes such as ‘Hot Lovin’ Night’ (the more AOR and my favorite), ‘Shout it Out’, ‘Don’t Look Back’ and the anthemic ‘One Shot To The Heart’ and ‘Wild Jealousy’.Vocalist Math Shiverow is another factor adding some ‘bite’ to the album, as he comes from the traditional metal scene, and this adds a special charm to the songs (he was replaced for the second album by the more melodic Patrick Mason).“China”, the self-titled debut by these Swiss guys still is pretty unknown for American melodic rock fans, but not for sure in Europe.That’s why Universal Music Europe few years ago decided to reissue the album for the first time since its original edition and commissioned a remastering to YesterRock headquarters. The result is a blast compared to the low signal original CD.“China” is a fantastic album from beginning to end, believe me.
