CANNON
from Hanover, Germany were founded in 1986 consisting of Mat Rein Jaehnke
(vocals), Walter Mueller (guitars), Steve Carrington (bass), Oliver Krueger
(lead guitars) and Mats Toralf (drums).
The
band’s debut album „Thunder And Lightning“ was released
in April 1988. A great deal for the 2nd album with a major label was
unfortunately cancelled close before the signing in 1989. CANNON nevertheless
started the production of this record on a self-financed basis in 1991.
Unfortunately the tapes with the still unfinished record were stolen. In 1994,
the band recorded a 7 track demo tape and re-issued the sought after “Thunder
And Lightning” album on tape. These tapes massively sold at the band’s live
shows. The beginning of the end for the band though was the departure of drummer
Mats Toralf in 1994. After a long, unsuccessful search for a proper replacement,
singer Mat Rein Jaehnke also decided to quit the band in October 1996. Soon
afterwards, CANNON split off completely.
The
band reunited in September 2003 with four members of the original line-up. Drums
though now were handled by original guitarist Walter Mueller (besides the guitar
work) who originally had started to perform as a drummer. In November 2003, the
band began to write and record new songs at Steve Carrington’s home studio. A
double CD called “The History” containing the original
“Thunder And Lightning” album and the unreleased “Timeriders” demo material was
issued in late March 2004.
The
new recordings were released under the name “Back
In Business” in June 2005 in Europe and May 2006 in the US.
Twenty
years after the original release the remastered “Thunder And Lightning” CD was
released in the US. Shortly after this in September 2008, CANNON’s next new
album “Metal Style” got its worldwide
release.
In
early 2012 CANNON was signed by the German record label meantime music, a
subdivision of Yesterrock for their new record “Burning Love”. The release date was
set for 07.09.2012.
