Bio:

Formed in the beginning of 1998 by Patrice LOUIS (Guitar) and Thierry DAGNICOURT (Keyboards), SHANNON plays a melodic hard rock that sticks to the skin. During the spring of 1998, the band enroles ex-JANNYLEE's singer Olivier DEL VALLE behind the mike, then Claude THILL (ex-DER KAISER) playing bass and Maxence PILO (ex-HEAVENLY) at the drum kit join the band to finally complete the line-up. Their debut and eponymous album released in November 2003 on the Anvilcorp. label and distributed by Wagram has been unanimously praised and regarded by the international press as one of the most impressive and brilliant record of the year in the Classic 80's US melodic rock style. With catchy hooklines, infectious choruses and a groovy and powerful rhythm section, SHANNON is the perfect alchimy between classic US melodic hard rock and typical european influenced NWOBHM sound, delivering a music as powerful as melodic. After the release of the album, the band takes the road and shares the stage with re-knowned artists such as AXXIS, PINK CREAM 69 and Jeff Scott SOTO in Paris. In the middle of 2005, SHANNON sees its first line-up changes with the departure of Claude and Maxence, immediately replaced by, respectively, Nicolas FIXY (Bass) and Benjamin BERGEROLLE (Drums), both formerly in French epic-progressive TAÏ PHONG. Strongly encouraged with the success of their self-titled album, not only in France, but widely abroad, the band has taken the way to the studio to record, more motivated than ever. WORLD OF DESIRE, a 5-track demo EP, was released in 2007. SHANNON played several shows to present the new songs and was selected to play before GOTTHARD at the RAISMES FESTIVAL. Some special guests are invited and did some backing vocals (Gianni PONTILLO, Ben SOTTO, Ben VENET, Bruno LEVESQUE, Jens WALKENHORST) and a duet with Renaud HANTSON was recorded. The band signed with ArtistService at the end of 2007 and ANGEL IN DISGUISE, the brand new album, even more powerful than their debut, is world wide distributed by MusicBuyMail. Never missing an opportunity to play live, the band played eventually at the PARIS METAL FRANCE FESTIVAL. After been part of the september nights open air festival with Axxis and Krokus, the band has released his third album "circus of lost souls" and will promote it on stage around europe in 2013...

Album:

The music Shannon plays definitely has its origins in the eighties, and sounds like a cross between hard rock and European heavy metal. As a matter of fact this album is already their third full release, but I had never before heard of this band.Olivier Del Valle may not have the most powerful voice there is in the business, but he acquits himself quite well of the job.Musically all fits perfectly, which is not surprising, since most of the actual line-up at one time or another busied himself in other French bands.Shannon take control of the listener from the outset with the pure melodic rock of 'Heartbreaker'. The song has plenty of punchy keyboards, a huge chorus and melodic soloing.Another stellar track is the sublime 'She's A Liar'. A fantastic example of arena melodic rock.There's also a heavier side to Shannon. 'Scared Of War' has a Lion's Share inspired riff, while the speedy 'Reach For The Sky' reminds me of little known German band Ghandi. If you found China's first release a bit of a blast then 'One In A Million' is going to be right up your alley. Same can be said for 'Goin' Crazy' if you are a Terra Nova fan.In regards to the song-writing there is very little to fault, except for a few grammatical errors. Bringing the songs to life are the extremely capable Olivier Del Valle on vocals, outstanding guitarist Patrice Louis (does he actually know the 80's are over?) and keyboardist Thierry Dagnicourt.Shannon offer so much to the melodic rock fan that it is such a shame their exposure has been so limited. One of the few true melodic rock releases I can heartily endorse these days.
