HEAVEN BELOW / LITA FORD

HEAVEN BELOW – Good Morning Apocalypse [Deluxe Edition +10]

“Good Morning Apocalypse” is the first HEAVEN BELOW album for Dave Ellefson’s EMP Label Group and features some high profile guests. These include Lita Ford, Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys), Udo Dirkschneider (Accept), Kobra Paige (Kobra and the Lotus), and several others.
Heavy guitars, powerful and totally in-your-face vocals with a strong solid rhythm section… Heaven Below have the whole package to become big. The choruses are big, loud, and stick to your mind at once, and the guitar lines are tasteful with some ‘crazy’ solos.
This Deluxe Edition offers an ‘extra album’ of re-worked songs, acoustic versions, live, and one album’s outtake.
Heaven Below achieve to mix perfectly the late ’80s hard rock spirit with a modern, powerful punchy attack, and the result is simply explosive…

LITA FORD / REMASTER

LITA FORD – Stiletto [BGO Records digitally remastered] (2017)

As requested, more LITA FORD remastered albums from the ’80s / 90s, and now it’s time for the really good “Stiletto“. After the success of her previous album ‘Lita’, Ford’s career got somewhat of a boost, both creatively and commercially. On “Stiletto”, again the input of hit producer / songwriter Mike Chapman is an asset.
Chapman, known for his work with everyone from Sweet to Scandal, liked his rock commercial, slick and hook-laden — adjectives that definitely describe “Stiletto”.
“Stiletto” is one of Lita Ford’s better CDs, and the second in a trilogy she recorded during the Eighties / early Nineties (the others being ‘Lita’ and ‘Dangerous Curves’). Lita has always considered herself primarily a guitarist, and she doesn’t disappoint: her guitar lines always showcased an impressive talent.
While this album is not that guitar-driven – it’s a 1990 release, with polish and accessibility all over – it reveals Lita as a very good rock&pop vocalist as well.
