Burning Rain is a hard rock band established in 1998 by
guitarist extraordinare Doug Aldrich and vocalist Keith St. John. After meeting
through mutual friends, the two commenced work on what would eventually become
their self-titled debut album. The 1999 record established Burning Rain
as a hungry yet seasoned group of musicians. Although the album was limited in
its release, it did receive rave reviews from fans and critics alike for their
take on heavy, blues-y hard rock. The following year, Burning Rain released the
follow up, “Pleasure
To Burn” which showed a matured Aldrich-St John
collaboration that gained even higher praise than the first album.
In 2001, Aldrich joined DIO and later departed in 2003 as
he was approached by David Coverdale to join a newly reformed Whitesnake, while
St. John joined forces with guitar legend Ronnie Montrose. While still in
Whitesnake, Aldrich started working on new Burning Rain music, which saw the
light of day in 2013 as the album “Epic Obsession”. Their third release was again met with enthusiams from
fans and critics alike. Aldrich would later leave Whitesnake and join The Dead
Daisies and Revolution Saints, which left Burning Rain on an extended hiatus.
Now, finally a new album is ready for release! “Face
the Music” is
a blues driven hard rock record which is truly a tour-de-force. With a renewed
lineup featuring the amazing Blas Elias (Slaughter) on drums and bassist Brad
Lang (Y&T), the album evokes the sound of the classic 70’s
hard rock scene, but also stays true to the Burning Rain sound.
One thing is for certain, Burning Rain has made the wait
for new music well worth it.
