| Tuesday, July 8, 2008 - Bob Catley album news | Press release from Frontiers Records:
Frontiers Records (Zink Music/Bonnier Amigo) is pleased to announce the release of the brand new BOB CATLEY album "Immortal" on September 19th 2008.
Best known as the singer of British Rock legends MAGNUM, Bob Catley started his solo career in 1998 with the release of the highly acclaimed album "The Tower" written and produced by TEN leader Gary Hughes, who also wrote and produced the two following records "Legends" and "Middle Earth".
Closing the chapter on the collaboration with Hughes, Bob Catley chose to pursue a heavier direction leaning more towards the sound of Rainbow and Dio with his latest releases "When Empires Burn" (with songs written by the other TEN member Paul Hodson) and "Spirit of Man" (with songs contributed by longtime Bob Catley band guitarist Vince O`Regan and another two British songwriters Dave Thompson and Paul Uttley).
For his brand new studio album Bob has again moved on and selected songs written on purpose by the Swedish axeman Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear, Allen/Lande, Starbreaker). The album production and recording happened in Karlsruhe, Germany under the supervision of Pink Cream 69's Dennis Ward (producer of Angra, House of Lords, Edenbridge, Sunstorm, Place Vendome etc) . Dennis cared for the bass and guitar parts, with drums handled by Dirk Bruineberg (Elegy) and keyboards provided by Karlsson himself. Magnus Karlsson plays lead guitars on "End of the World" and the other PC 69's member Uwe Reitenauer also contributed with a few solos.
"Magnus and Dennis ward did a great job for me, I am really pleased with the way the new album has turned out and I hope everyone enjoys Immortal as much as I did", says Bob.
"Immortal" is indeed the heaviest, most epic and still melodic Bob Catley release ever. Capturing the dramatic spirit of the music of Magnum and early Rainbow and melting it with the peculiar approach to songwriting coming from Karlsson, the music of "Immortal" is well portrayed in the cover art specifically designed for the album by long-time Magnum sleeve designer Rodney Matthews.
"Immortal" final tracklisting will include: Dreamers Unite; We Are Immortal; End Of The World; Open Your Eyes; The Searcher; One More Night; Light Up My Way; You Are My Star; War In Heaven; Win The Throne; Haunted; Heat Of Passion.
Bob Catley has recorded his ultimate album, just don't miss the chance for this new masterpiece. |

Comments: 134 | | The samples sound very promising, I'm really looking forward to this now.
Just a shame Vince O'Reagan doesn't seem to be involved - his solos on When Empires Burn were fantastic.
