BURNING RAIN Announce Release Of Their Fourth Studio Album

'Face the Music' On March 22, 2019

BURNING RAIN, a hard rock band founded by guitarist extraordinaire Doug Aldrich (Revolution Saints, The Dead Daisies, ex-Whitesnake/David Coverdale, Ronnie James Dio) and vocalist Keith St John (Montrose – Band, Kingdom Come), are pleased to announce the release of their fourth studio album, “Face the Music” on March 22, 2019.

In conjunction with the album announcement, the band have shared the latest single, “Midnight Train”, along with an accompanying music video. When asked why the band chose to release “Midnight Train” as the first single, Aldrich explained, ,,when we were asked what song encompasses the sound of BURNING RAIN, ‘Midnight Train’ seemed like a good choice. It sounds fresh and heavy, but still sounds like us. Everyone will have different ideas about favorite songs and there are a number of tracks that could have been first, but we just went with ‘Midnight Train.’”

,,’Midnight Train’s’ message, albeit fully ensconced in carnality, is about wanting something so brutally bad when you can’t have it,” added St. John. ,,The main character here is basically a deeply tortured soul during all the daytime hours. The phallic likening to the train and its track along with the blackness, the bed of nails, and the cravings of the night are meant to further fortify the extremity of sexual addiction. Doug had all the basic music together including bass, drums, and all when he first played me a demo of the riff. I loved it immediately. The first ex-perimental vocal track I scatted out had the basic framework for the chorus, which we both felt had good potential, but the original verse began with a higher, bluesier part that seemed to not quite fit. After I fashioned a new verse with a lower, more growly approach, we both felt it really complimented the chorus and we knew this track was in good standing!”
