Swedish
rockers Captain Black Beard have signed
with Melodic Rock Records for the release of their new studio
album ‘Struck By Lightning’, coming worldwide April 25.
The
new album sees a switch in musical direction for the band, unleashing a wave of
powerful new anthemic, pure melodic rock songs.
“It’s
an honor to work with such enthusiastic champions of our genre.” says
bassist Robert Majd.
In
the summer of 2017 Captain
Black Beard entered the studio to
write a new chapter in the bands history. Robert Majd and Christian
Ek along with new lead singer Liv Hansson as well as producerJona
Tee (keyboardist in H.E.A.T) pretty much reinvented the band’s
sound.
The
album that was recorded is called ‘Struck By Lightning’ and features a
fresh dose of high energy melodic rock. From the instant catchiness of the
opening track “All The Pain” to the heavy closing of“Straight Out Of
Hell”, the band combines their AOR influences with their hard rock
roots.
“This
is a tremendous album and I’m really excited for the guys,” states
MRR owner Andrew McNeice. “They’ve created a great new sound that brings
together everything I love about music – killer songs, big production and hooks
and harmonies everywhere. This album is going to put the guys on the
map.”
Captain
Black Beard was
formed in 2009. Their self-titled debut album was named one of the "Albums Of
The Year" by legendary journalist Geoff Barton of Classic Rock. The
follow-up "Before Plastic" featured guest appearances by Bruce Kulick
(KISS, Grand Funk Railroad) and Mats Karlsson (220 Volt). In 2016 the band
released "It's a Mouthful" and toured with Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow,
Yngwie Malmsteen, Deep Purple), Robin Beck, House Of Lords and performed at the
festival Hard Rock Hell AOR for the second time in their career.
A
release party will be held in Stockholm, Sweden on the 9th of May. Check out the
