The show's original audio has been newly restored and remastered for 2012, allowing fans to rightly hear the band in their full glory.

UFO Entire New Album Seven Deadly Streaming on EddieTrunk.com

Seven Deadly is available for pre-order on AMAZON.com



Seven Deadly is an atmospherically dense fabric consisting of classy guitars, tight rock grooves and vocals which are unique to UFO. So it's no wonder that sound engineer Tommy Newton, in whose Area 51 studio in Celle, Germany, the new tracks were recorded, commented: "I've never heard a better Phil Mogg!"

The UFO frontman's thoroughly impressive vocal performance goes hand in hand with the awesome compositions on Seven Deadly. The classic rock of 'Burn Your House Down' features all the important UFO strengths, 'Mojotown' sees the musicians sound tougher than ever, and last but not least 'Year Of The Gun' features a pointed reference to UFO's early days.

And finally .....

Does this look like a cool summer tour or what?!




It seems the 'Rock Never Stops Tour' is back for 2012 and I for one think this bill looks fantastic!
I wish I had live dates I could share with you, but as of right now, there's no more than this flyer, from management company ARM Entertainment.

With talk of a new album from Dokken already leaked, under the working title of 'Broken Bones,' not to mention new albums from both Firehouse and Trixter, these bands will certainly be up for it!
Dokken new album story source:

Quiet Riot currently, do not know who to put in the lead vocalist role, following the band's recent bust up with Mark Ruff ... I believe currently it is Robert Mason (Lynch Mob, Warrant), I guess we'll see!

Y&T of course release the excellent 'Facemelter' album two years back now and sadly lost original bassist Phil Kennemore (RIP), but have moved on and are currently doing the rounds in the clubs right now!
Would be nice to hear a new album though ...
