The release date of the ST. ELMOS FIRE album "St. Elmos Fire" is August 07th, 2015. The pre-order phase will start on July 24th, in Pure Steel Records’ webshop.
In the course of the “Heavy Metal Classics”-series Karthago Records is going to reprint the whole back catalogue of the Californians ST. ELMOS FIRE. As usual limited to 1000 copies and provided with a certificate, the four studio albums will be re-released on CD during August. Formed in 1979 by guitarist Jeff Jones, the melodic US Metal quartet earned a good reputation in the club scene of San Francisco and Los Angeles. After they played shows with superstars like MÖTLEY CRÜE, Y&T and NAZARETH and recruited TRAUMA drummer Kris Gustofson, they released their self-titled debut back in 1986 through the French label Dream Records.
Traditional US Metal with powerful, poignant melodies is driven by the magic voice of Zane Lazar. Multifaceted, often singing more high pitched he refines the strong tracks with his sublime vocals. Straight rockers like “Too Bad” and “Inside The Hunter” are placed next to ballads like “More Than The Air”. As bonus the reissue (release date: August 07th) is provided with a demo version from 1980 (“Don’t Drop It”) as well as alternative versions of the albums tracks “More Than The Air”, “Too Bad”, “Innocent” and “Real Life”.
A pleasure for connoisseurs of American Steel.
