Title: Neon Sunrise

Artist/Band: CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD

Country: Sweden

Release date: 07/10/2022

Company: Mighty Music

Style: Melodic Hard Rock, AOR


Like their Swedish countrymen The Night Flight Orchestra, the five-piece grew up with the classic sound of bands such as Journey and Foreigner, but found a way to take a renew approach to it, own the AOR sound in such a bossy way that it draws the attention of a whole new generation of fans. The development of Captain Black Beard’s sound over the last ten years and several albums and singles releases made the tag “disco AOR” stick to them, as a way to describe the incredible catchy and all-round composition and sound they achieved. The ultimate expression of this “disco AOR” sound is the new Captain Black Beard album, “Neon Sunrise”, to be released this Fall via Mighty Music. Groovy drums, melodic guitars, lots of keyboards and Martin’s powerful voice to top it off will make your love for AOR – old or new – boil once again in your blood. Captain Black Beard isn’t a heavy pirate metal band. They are off course a band with high energy melodic stuff to offer, they are hard fans of neon, retro, 80s, disco-AOR and they are here with their new album release to bring us the future of this kind of music! I choose tracks: We're The Forgiven, Physical, Moment Of Truth, Wasted Heart, Night Reaction & Chains Of Love. Enjoy it! 🍭
