Description
Deen Castronovo, Jack Blades and Doug Aldrich. Put these three titans together in a band and you have REVOLUTION SAINTS. Superbly handling drums and lead vocals is Deen Castronovo. Already renowned for his drum talents and backing vocals in Journey, Bad English and more, Deens excellent vocal talents are in the spotlight on this release. On bass, and co-lead vocals on a few tracks, Jack Blades is well known for his melodic, yet hard rocking approach to songwriting and playing via multiple classic albums by his main band Night Ranger, as well as with the Damn Yankees and the Shaw/Blades releases. On guitar, Doug Aldrich was excited to lend his fiery blues guitar attack to such a unique and melodic band. Doug, who just left Whitesnake after a fruitful 12 year run (including co-writing 2010s critically acclaimed "Forevermore" release) and also of Burning Rain and formerly of DIO, has a deep pedigree and is one of todays most respected guitarists.

You can tell by the name - and the names involved - that Revolution Saints is not going to be your average rock n roll band. The record brings back the classic melodic rock style to where it should be: inspiring, uplifting vocals, soaring melodies and musicianship to die for. Simply put, it is completely badass.

The deluxe version includes three bonus tracks and a bonus DVD featuring a Making of the Album documentary, Turn Back Time (videoclip), Back On My Trail (videoclip), Here Forever (videoclip) and Way to the Sun (lyric video).

This definitely rocks in a heavy Journey/ Night Ranger way. Deen can sing his ass off.

Just depends what you are looking for here.

Here's another one that fires it up but good.

Proof that Deen sings incredibly well. I've seen him sing with Journey and he's actually an even better fit than Arnel.

This song rocks and has a blazing solo by Aldrich with vocals from both Deen and Jack.

Yes it's commercial and not terribly original, but it's still uplifting and heavy. I wish Journey had made songs like this on their last album which I did not like.

I missed your post Linda but I ordered from a reseller. Oh well, at least it was cheap.

Thanks for looking out for me though.
