MICHAEL MONROE enthüllt Cover und Tracklist von "Horns And Halos"
MICHAEL MONROE- ICONIC ROCK 'N' ROLL FRONTMAN REVEALS COVER ART & TRACK-LISTING FOR BRAND NEW STUDIO ALBUM, 'HORNS AND HALOS', OUT AUGUST 23rd 2013 VIA SPINEFARM RECORDS
Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, uber-energetic front-man & all-round rock 'n' roll legend, Michael Monroe, has revealed the album artwork for new studio outing, 'Horns And Halos', confirmed for German release on August 23rd via Spinefarm Records.
The arresting cover art is based on an idea from Swedish guitar star, Dregen, who features in Michael's current touring & recording line-up:
"I love logotypes that are a 'little secret'," says Dregen, "You know, the ones that are more like signs - Van Halen, Crass, HIM's Heartagram, etc. That was the starting point."
'Horns And Halos' - mixed by Petri Majuri at Seawolf Studios, Finland - is the follow-up to 2011's critically-acclaimed 'Sensory Overdrive', winner of Classic Rock Magazine's 'Album Of The Year' and a No. 1 record in MM's Finnish homeland.
Monroe's touring & recording outfit - bassist Sami Yaffa (ex-Hanoi Rocks/New York Dolls), guitarist Steve Conte (ex-New York Dolls/Company Of Wolves), drummer Karl 'Rockfist' Rosqvist (ex-Chelsea Smiles/Danzig) and Dregen - have been hard at work in the studio, providing creative support for a frontman whose reputation is genuinely global and whose influence continues to be felt, with musicians of all ages (from Dave Grohl to the original Gun n' Roses' members) citing Michael's ground-breaking career as a source of inspiration.
