DECEMBER ROSE – Leaving Home [’80s recordings remastered] (2021)
The nicely named ‘Obscure NWOBHM Releases’ record label has released at the end of last year yet another “lost” band from the good old post-New Wave Of British Heavy Metal glory years of the 1980s. “Leaving Home” compiles most the songs recorded by London based DECEMBER ROSE.
December Rose history starts in West Country, UK in 1982. The band was active till 1990 playing gigs all over UK. An album was recorded – though not released apparently justified by the record company due to the prominence of “grunge”.
As said, DECEMBER ROSE’s style is ‘post’ NWOBHM, meaning the addition of hard rock groove and lots of melody. Check the video below…
