Frontiers Records veröffentlichen am 18.September das Comeback Studioalbum von Lynch Mob mit Titel "Smoke And Mirrors"

Nach über 17 langen Jahren fanden sich Sänger Oni Logan und Gitarren Ass George Lynch endlich wieder zusammen um in gemeinsamer Sache ein neues Meisterwerk zu schaffen.

Dass ist den beiden Musikern mit "Smoke And Mirrors" gelungen, so präsentiert uns das Album eine Ansammlung grandioser Hard Rock Songs.

"I would say this new record "Smoke and Mirrors", is the record we should have put out as a follow up to "Wicked Sensation"...better late then never I guess...”, so George Lynch.

Lynch Mob wurden 1989 von George Lynch gegründet nachdem sich seine Band DOKKEN auflöste. Das erste Album "Wicked Sensation" feat. Sänger Oni Logan, Bassist Anthony Esposito und DOKKEN Drummer Mick Brown, verkaufte über 500.000 Einheiten in den USA. Nach der Supporttour für Queensryche verließ Logan die Band und wurde von Rober Mason ersetzt. Später kehrten Lynch und Brown zu DOKKEN zurück und veröffentlichen mit der Band zwei weitere Studioalben ehe George Lynch die Band 1997 erneut verließ um in eigener Sache mit neuen Sounds zu experimentieren und an verschiedenen Projekten zu arbeiten.

Im Sommer 2007 enterten Oni Logan und George Lynch gemeinsam das Studio.

“We weren’t sure what was going to happen” so George, “but as soon as I heard what Oni was coming up with just off the top of his head, I knew the old chemistry was still there. So we spent many months writing. The first batch of songs had almost a Southern Rock feel to them and there was quite a bit of acoustic and slide work on those. They also had a genuine 70's vibe. These first songs had elements reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, Zeppelin, Black Crowes, Stones and it was all very bluesy. We lived with those songs for a while then went in and did a second round of collaboration. We had tightened up as a band after touring over the summer and we consciously wrote the newer material with the "Wicked Sensation" record in mind. So we updated the earlier songs a little and wrote a few more "adventurous" track and went in to start recording”.

Mit dabei im neuen line-up sind Bassist Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy) und Drummer Scott Coogan (Brides of Destruction, Ace Frehley).

Lynch Mob heute ist mehr als nur irgendeine reformierte Band, die vier Musiker harmonieren in perfekter Weise, bieten explosive Shows und kehren mit einem packenden Hard Rock Album zurück.

“Marco Mendoza is literally a gift from Heaven” erklärt Lynch. “How they figured out how to stuff all that talent and goodness into one person I'll never know. they must have made a mistake at the factory! lol... then there’s Scott Coogan on drums.... baby of the band.. he’s very solid, very "Bonhamesque". not sure if that’s a real word!”

“Smoke and Mirrors” tracklisting includes:

21st Century Man, Smoke and Mirrors, Lucky Man, My Kind Of Healer, Time Keepers, Revolution Hero, Let The Music Be Your Master, The Fascist, Where Do You Sleep at Night?, Madly Backwards, We Will Remain, Before I Close My Eyes, Mansions In The Sky (Bonus Track).

Lynch Mob planen eine Welt Tournee für Herbst 2009.

“We have been expecting to go out in a support situation with a bigger act in the fall of 09 to coincide with the release of "Smoke and Mirrors" and were also expecting to visit Europe as well. It's been way too long since I've played Europe and we need to tour there extensively... last time Lynch Mob toured Europe was with Queensryche... and I think that was 1991!” so George Lynch.
