Hall Aflame - Amplifire - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Hall Aflame, the rock band which features Metal Church founding guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, will their long-awaited sophomore album InchAmplifireInch on May 3, 2024. Originally formed in 1989, the band garnered commercial success with their debut album InchGuaranteed ForeverInch, which was well received by fans and industry peers alike and quickly found themselves opening for ZZ Top on their 1991 InchRecyclerInch tour for a number of dates. As with many bands from that era, facing a decline in interest for AOR rock due to the onslaught of the InchgrungeInch scene, the band went on a lengthy hiatus and reunited again in late 2023 to begin working on a handful of songs. Amplifier offers 12 new studio tracks and reunites Kurdt with original bassist Brian Smith, along with drummer Bill Raymond and front-man Scott Nutter. Regarding the album, Kurdt Vanderhoof comments, InchThis album came about as a project to document all the songs that we had written for the second album that never came to be. We revisited the songs and realized they had to be recorded properly. Then it blossomed into something much better than we had even hoped! So that led us into reforming the band instead of just having it be a project.Inch Bassist Brian Smith adds, InchI think anyone that is a fan of InchGuaranteed ForeverInch will see this record as a new and improved InchPart IIInch of Hall Aflame. Great songs, great production and we had a ton of fun putting this together!InchFrom the driving album opener InchHelltownInch, to the powerhouse outro track InchKeeping Them All AwayInch, Hall Aflame shines with their signature brand of rock-n-roll.
