FAIR WARNING

Debut full-length album by the German Melodic Hard Rock band.
Starting their career in the early ‘90s when Grunge was taking over the music world, German Hard Rockers Fair Warning didn’t conform to the times and released their impressive self-titled debut in 1992. For those unfamiliar with Fair Warning, the band came together back in 1991, when former V2 vocalist Tommy Heart teamed up with bassist Ule Ritgen, who most recently had collaborated with Teutonic Proggers Zeno and former Scorpions axemeister Uli Jon Roth.
This is a band who, outside Germany and Japan, has perhaps not received the degree of recognition they definitely deserve. For long-standing fans, it’s a reminder of exactly where the band came from and how their sound has progressed.
Produced by Rafe McKenna (Ten, Giant/Bad Company/Tesla), the likes of Tyketto, Bonfire, Giant and Zeno are featured in here. A kicking mix of both US and European Hard Rock , excellent melodies, the perfect company for vacations and a brilliant future raised in front of Fair Warning. The 'ace' voice of Tommy Heart is as 'haunting' as the excellence in the album's songwriting and the rest of the musicians' playing.
The album went Platinum in band's native Germany.
Essential for Melodic Rock fans and German Hard Rock followers all the way!!

The second full-length album by the German Melodic Hard Rock band.
Considered by many as the band's 'epitome' in their sort-lived career, "Rainmaker" sold really good in Japan - 140000 copies, during the Grunge 'tornado' - and 'established' the band as a fave for lots of melody-related Hard Rockers. Self-produced, this effort is slightly more 'mellow' related to the 1991 debut, now keener on the AOR 'key ingredients'. Acoustic guitars here and there, great soloing, terrific - again - vocals and a 'fat' rhythm section are included. Nonetheless, tunes like "Burning Heart" (the band's first single/video), "What Did You Find", "Get A Little Closer" and "Desolation Angels" - in a non-fillers album - will persuade you; objections overruled!
In terms of musical magic, this release offer you the chance to get a grip on some excellent compositions. Who can oppose to such superiority offered by Fair Warning, a German band that - proved or not - can touch your heart really deep!!
Japanese edition comes with OBI and includes two bonus tracks!
