BOB CATLEY album
“Immortal” on September 19th 2008.
Best known as the singer of British Rock legends
MAGNUM, Bob Catley started his solo career in 1998 with the release of the highly acclaimed album “The Tower” written and produced by
TEN leader Gary Hughes, who also wrote and produced the two following records “Legends” and “Middle Earth”.
Closing the chapter on the collaboration with Hughes,
Bob Catley chose to pursue a heavier direction leaning more towards the sound of Rainbow and Dio with his latest releases
“When Empires Burn” (with songs written by the other
TEN member
Paul Hodson) and
“Spirit of Man” (with songs contributed by longtime
Bob Catley band guitarist
Vince O..Regan and another two British songwriters
Dave Thompson and
Paul Uttley).
For his brand new studio album Bob has again moved on and selected songs written on purpose by the Swedish axeman
Magnus Karlsson (
Primal Fear, Allen/Lande, Starbreaker). The album production and recording happened in Karlsruhe, Germany under the supervision of
Pink Cream 69’s Dennis Ward (producer of
Angra, House of Lords, Edenbridge, Sunstorm, Place Vendome etc) . Dennis cared for the bass and guitar parts, with drums handled by
Dirk Bruineberg (
Elegy) and keyboards provided by
Karlsson himself.
Magnus Karlsson plays lead guitars on
“End of the World” and the other PC 69’s member Uwe Reitenauer also contributed with a few solos.
“Magnus and Dennis ward did a great job for me, I am really pleased with the way the new album has turned out and I hope everyone enjoys Immortal as much as I did”, says Bob.
“Immortal” is indeed the heaviest, most epic and still melodic
Bob Catley release ever. Capturing the dramatic spirit of the music of Magnum and early Rainbow and melting it with the peculiar approach to songwriting coming from Karlsson, the music of “Immortal” is well portrayed in the cover art specifically designed for the album by long-time Magnum sleeve designer Rodney Matthews.
