Bio:
HURRICANE is a Los Angeles based hard rock metal band formed in 1984 by guitarist Robert Sarzo (QUEENSRYCHE Gt) and bassist Tony Cavazo (QUIET RIOT/ SNOW). The band’s current line-up includes drummer Mike Hansen, who has performed and recorded with such artists as George Lynch and Steve Vai. Recently HURRICANE recruited lead vocalist Chad Cancino, a native Angelino, who first worked with Robert Sarzo on his solo project. In 2014, HURRICANE toured the United States with QUEENSRYCHE Gt and headlined venues. HURRICANE is currently in the studio recording a new album and video, set to release in 2018. The new music can be described as heavy and intense with current melodies, similar to HURRICANE’s past musical achievements.HURRICANE has toured arenas with Iron Maiden, Gary Moore, Cheap Trick, Stryper, The Michael Schenker Group, Queensryche Gt, Rick Derringer, and headlined sold-out tours across Japan. HURRICANE has worked with many award-winning producers such as Mike Clink (Guns N Roses) and Bob Ezrin (KISS, Alice Cooper).HURRICANE formed in the early 80’s when Cavazo was introduced to Sarzo by the late Quiet Riot front man, Kevin DuBrow, who suggested they put a band together. In 1985, HURRICANE signed a major record deal with ENIGMA/ CAPITOL RECORDS and released their first album TAKE WHAT YOU WANT; a self-titled music video “HURRICANE” was released and rotated on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball. In 1988, their most successful album OVER THE EDGE was released and charted on Billboard’s Top 100, as well as the band's most successful Billboard Top 40 hit, "I’M ON TO YOU". The album featured a cover of Alice Cooper’s hit “I’M 18”. The title track, “OVER THE EDGE” was released as a single. The music videos “I’M ON TO YOU” and “OVER THE EDGE” ranked #1 in video requests and rotated on MTV.The album was distributed in the United States, Europe and Japan.
Album:
Slave to the Thrill is the third studio album released by the American hard rock / hair metal band Hurricane.The original album cover art was photographed by John Scarpati.It featured a nude female model lying on a machine.This cover was replaced shortly after the initial pressing by an alternative cover that had the female model removed from the picture so that all that was seen is the machine.“Hurricane is an American heavy metal band formed in 1983, originally featuring current Foreigner lead vocalist Kelly Hansen (vocals / rhythm guitar), Robert Sarzo (guitar), Tony Cavazo (bass), and Jay Schellen (drums). Cavazo and Sarzo are the younger brothers of Quiet Riot‘s Carlos Cavazo and Rudy Sarzo.Quiet Riot‘s Kevin DuBrow introduced Robert Sarzo and Tony Cavazo in the early 1980s. After deciding to form a band, Sarzo and Cavazo recruited singer Kelly Hansen, drummer Jay Schellen and guitarist Michael Guy. With little label interest, the band decided to release an album themselves, Take What You Want. The album and constant touring led to them getting a major label deal. In 1986 and 1987, they opened for Stryper on their To Hell With The Devil album tour. They were soon signed to Enigma Records, the same label as Stryper. They also opened for Gary Moore‘s 1987 US tour. In 1988, the band released their major label debut album, Over The Edge. Propelled by a powerful, yet melodic heavy metal sound, the album made #92 on the US album charts and featured a cover of Alice Cooper‘s “I‘m Eighteen,” as well as the band’s most successful song, the Jeff Jones-penned “I’m On To You.” The title track, “Over the Edge”, was also released as a single.In 1989, Sarzo left the group and was replaced by ex-Lion guitarist, Doug Aldrich. This line-up recorded the album Slave To The Thrill, which was released in 1990. With their third offering, Hurricane provides us with arguably their best effort. Filled with the hooky, highly infectious melodies that beg you to sing along with them, Slave To The Thrill is an album that could easily define the term hair metal band. Led by the dramatic vocals of Kelly Hansen, you will quickly be taken back to the days of groups like Whitesnake and Foreigner. Not surprising, Kelly would join the group Foreigner after the break-up of Hurricane, as a replacement for Lou Gramm.Doug Aldrich‘s riffs and licks combined with Kelly Hansen’s vocals, Jay Schellen’s drums, and Tony Cavazo’s bass, it was obvious this was an off-the-charts outing. Opener “Reign of Love” solidifies that within seconds, it’s a hell of a way to kick things off. “Next To You” has this riff that melts all defenses, and Hansen sings his ass off. “Young Man” is Aldrich’s show from start to finish, and an anthem for rebellion. The sexy groove of “Dance Little Sister” is no accident; the band knew exactly what they were doing and it shows. This brings us to one of all-time favorite ballads in the world, “Don’t Wanna Dream” where the chorus is absolutely beautiful. “Temptation”, “10,000 Years” let Aldrich once again comes up with some killer guitar sounds. After a short interlude comes “In The Fire” with a bluesy riff and “Let Is Slide”, an absolute great swamp-boogie. A slick bass groove permeates “Lock Me Up” and is only accented further by Aldrich’s six-string magic once again. The record concludes with hellraiser and barnburner “Smiles Like A Child”. Overall though, Slave To The Thrill from Hurricane still stands as one of the best albums from the period of hair metal.The album’s relative lack of success could be attributed to changing musical climates. Shortly after the release of this album, Aldrich moved on to Bad Moon Rising. Slave To The Thrill is one that has everything that a fan of this type of music would ever want.”
