Whilst acknowledging their obvious ability and acclaim, the likes of U.D.O. and the Schenker’s have always left me cold and uninterested, so it was with a very deep sigh that I pressed play on the second album from that nation’s Bad Butler and, in all honesty, settled back to be completely unimpressed.

I also wrote some of my own new Christmas songs. As I did recently, I started with lyrics and a melody. Then I let the guitar take over because it sings better than I do. ”

On December 17, the melodic hard rock band Wicked Sensation will release their new album “Outbreak” via the company ROAR – Rock Of Angels Records. On the upcoming album, you can find singer David Reecem (Bangalore Choir, Bonfire) behind the microphone.
