John Lawton Black Out

2nd album by German hard rock band. ZAR was formed in the late '80s and featured ex-LUCIFER'S FRIEND and URIAH HEEP singer John Lawton as their frontman on highly acclaimed "Live Your Life Forever" debut album. 1991's "Sorted Out" saw Lawton losing his place to newcomer Thommy Bloch, has a Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden vibe.

Uriah Heep's by-the-books progressive heavy metal made the British band one of the most popular hard rock groups of the early '70s. Formed by vocalist David Byron and guitarist Mick Box in the late '60s, the group went through an astonishing number of members over the next two decades – nearly 30 different musicians passed through the band over the years…

The official 25th anniversary collection. 63 tracks all remastered, 20 previously unreleased / alternative versions. 60 page book containing full band history plus rare photographs, memorabilia & full discograhy. A Time of Revelation is a four-disc box set spanning Uriah Heep's entire career. The bulk of the set draws from the Heep's '70s heyday, including album tracks, live cuts, and previously unavailable-on-disc rarities. For the die-hard collector, the set is a must-have for its obscure items. While the set may be too much for casual fans, it does a good job of rounding up the highlights, so any casual listener wanting a comprehensive collection should turn here.

For the first time in absolutely ages, Axel, did perform a short four song set with his original band Steeler (not to be confused with the Ron Keel led American “Steeler” which also featured guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen) then a set that utilized as many of the studio singers as possible, was performed, with them, singing their “own” era’s material and finally a bunch of classic rock tracks were performed by the band enlisting the aid of some special guests/friends…

Featuring Ken Hensley on Hammond, guitar and vocals and his Live Fire band, plus special guests Jorn Lande, John Lawton, Eve Gallagher and others.
