ALASKA (Bernie Marsden) – Heart Of The Storm 1984 [remastered +3 bonus], MP3+FLAC

20/06/2023 rock aor HQ, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment

Bernie Marsden left Whitesnake after (or during depending on who you believe) the Saints & Sinners album. That band were never the same again as they lost one of their three main songwriting forces.

Then Marsden formed his own band ALASKA, with Robert Hawthorne on vocals with renowned Don Airey on keyboards & synths joining later. And we emphasize ‘synths’ because Marsden’s focus with this band was to create Melodic Rock / AOR music with the era’s sound – it was 1983 – still with a bluesy foundation.
This is a remastered w/bonus reissue of the originally released 1984, ALASKA’s debut LP ”Heart Of The Storm” delivering a polished production / mix acc

As requested here’s “The Pack“, the second and final album by cult British Melodic Hard Rock band ALASKA in its remastered version including bonus tracks, now out of print.

Alaska was founded and led by former Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden, and after the first album release, the band toured Europe as the opening act for Manowar. A quite rare pairing, as Alaska had a very commercial, radio-friendly sound heavy on synthesizers.
