Revolution Saints-Light In The Dark (2017)

The alliance formed by Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), and Deen Castronovo (Journey), under the name Revolution Saints, was formed in late 2014, releasing their self-titled debut album a year later. Three years later, they delivered "Light In The Dark," defining their style and far surpassing its predecessor. On this release, Castronovo handles vocals with great personality and energy, in addition to his exceptional talent with the drums, while Aldrich's ferocious guitar and Blades' powerful bass create a stunning sonic tapestry. Following the stylistic path of its members' former bands (Journey, Whitesnake, Bad English, Hardline, Night Ranger, Damn Yankees, and House of Lords), but with an added edge of melodic hard rock, we find tracks of the caliber of "Ride On", "Light in the Dark", "Freedom", "Don't Surrender", "Another Chance", and "Running on the Edge", all brimming with powerful guitar riffs and infectious vocal choruses. Power ballads like "I Wouldn't Change a Thing", "Falling Apart", and "Can't Run Away from Love" are also present.
