AMERICAN TEARS – Free Angel Express (2020)
US pomp rockers AMERICAN TEARS will release their latest album ”Free Angel Express” tomorrow. It’s the third album the band have recorded since keyboard player Mark Mangold reformed them in 2018. The recording features Alex Landenburg (STRATOVARIUS) on drums, with guest appearances by Barry Sparks (UFO, DOKKEN), Doug Howard (TOUCH) and Charlie Calv (ANGEL, SHOTGUN SYMPHONY).
AMERICAN TEARS is a different musical beast to the other bands Mangold is associated with, namely TOUCH (who have a new album in the works), THE SIGN and DRIVE SHE SAID, but his signature melodies are all over the place.
All the better for it as he really gets to show off his undoubted keyboard skills.
