Deadringer – Electrocution Of The Heart 2024 Bad Reputation Remaster+1 bonus , MP3+FLAC

DEADRINGER was anything but a band of unknowns. The line-up included well-known figures from the hard-rock scene, such as the tandem of Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith (ALICE COOPER), Joe Bouchard (BLUE OYSTER CULT), Jay Jesse Johnson (ARC ANGEL) and singer Charlie Huhn (TED NUGENT, VICTORY) – a five-star cast for a shooting star who only took the time to record one album, the cult 1989’s ”Electrocution Of The Heart”.

And this album did indeed electrify the heart with it’s blend of Seventies riffs, Eighties melodies and bright keyboards, all topped with a thick layer of multiple vocals.
Simple, almost humble songs, that spoke to lovers of harmonies and instrumental delicacy, without neglecting the contribution of punch (the track ‘Summa Cum Loud’, which the BOC will cover live, ‘Everybody Rock’ or ‘Balls Out’, hard as hell). Deadringer played the game of it’s time, while refusing to submit to all it’s rules.
Now Bad Reputation specialists are releasing a ”Electrocution Of The Heart” remastered reissue (long time out of print), including bonus.

Musically and lyrically the luxury quintet indulged in a little more personal stuff, far removed from the Billboard canon. There’s no sentimentality here, just first-rate melodic hard rock, with allusions to the AOR repertoire of the early part of the decade.
In this way, “Secret Eyes” had what it took to seduce fans of the FM rock sound, who themselves revelled in this harmonious, supple rock, perfect for their frequencies. A mix of Journey & Foreigner.

In short, ”Electrocution Of The Heart” display balance between power and softness, in the manner of a deluxe King Kobra, and enough to make the American masses fall in love.
Released a little late and facing fierce competition – there was many great albums appeared 1989 – ”Electrocution Of The Heart” quickly became a hidden treasure, unearthed by Internet enthusiasts, and in 2024 still without a proper reissue, until Bad Reputation came into play.

More Information

Typischer Achtziger-Hardrock mit Highlights wie "Secret Eyes" oder "Everybody Rock". Unglaublich, dass diese Allstar-Truppe es nicht zum Durchbruch geschafft hat, bringen sie doch im Grunde alles mit. Kommt remastered und mit einem Remix von "Unsung Heroes" als Bonus. (MS)

Un casting 5 étoiles : Dennis Dunaway et Neal Smith (ALICE COOPER), Joe Bouchard (BLUE OYSTER CULT), Jay Jesse Johnson (Arc Angel) et Charlie Huhn (Ted NUGENT et VICTORY).
