Solus Rex – King Stands Alone (2009)

THE FINAL RELEASE FROM RETROSPECT RECORDS IN 2009 IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST THIS YEAR! RECORDED IN THE EARLY 90s AND PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED IN ANY FORMAT COMES SOLUS REX. HAILING FROM THE EAST COAST AND PRODUCED BY THE LEGENDARY ERIC GAST , SOLUS REX WOULD HAVE BEEN HUGE IF THIS CD HAD BEEN RELEASED IN 1989. UNFORTUNATELY THE WHOLE PROJECT WAS SHELVED AFTER THE GRUNGE EXPLOSION DESTROYED REAL ROCK N ROLL.

FEATURES GUEST PERFORMANCES FROM DONNIE VIE AND CHIP Z’NUFF OF ENUFF Z’NUFF AS WELL AS MARIAH’S VOCALIST DENNIS LIND AND MYSELF ON KEYBOARDS! SOLUS REX SHOWCASES AN EXPLOSIVE SLICE OF 80s-STYLE MELODIC HARD ROCK WITH POWERFUL VOCALS , BLISTERING GUITARS AND UNFORGETTABLE HOOKS. SOLUS REX DOESN’T REALLY SOUND LIKE ANYONE FROM THAT ERA , THEY HAD A COMPLETELY UNIQUE SOUND BUT IN A VERY VERY GOOD WAY. I THINK YOU’LL FIND THIS IS ONE OF RETROSPECT’S BEST RELEASES YET. ESSENTIAL FOR ALL FANS AND COLLECTORS OF 80s-STYLE HARD ROCK. LISTEN FOR YOURSELF.
