MORE HEEP... AND RELATED!

- The Rage! The supergroup collaboration of Jimmy Barnes (vocals - Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes solo), Bob Daisley (bass - Ozzy, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Yngwie Malmsteen, Gary Moore, etc.), Steve Morse (guitar - Deep Purple, Dixie Dregs), Lee Kerslake (drums - Ozzy, Uriah Heep) and Don Airey (keyboards - Ozzy, Sabbath, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Gary Moore, etc.) is called The Rage. They recently recorded 11 tracks in Florida for their forthcoming CD, titled "Relentless". The project started as a dream of Bob Daisley nearly 20 years ago. Having co-written and played on the landmark Ozzy Osbourne albums "Diary Of A Madman" and "Blizzard of Ozz", selling in excess of 30 million albums worldwide, Bob had always wanted to give some of the more anthemic numbers that he had co-written a different perspective. The result is a hard rock project based around those two albums, plus the infusion of a number of new tracks in the same mould. Producer Darren Schneider (Deep Purple, Matchbox 20, Creed) is currently in Australia putting the finishing touches to the album mix, under the guidance of Jimmy Barnes and Bob Daisley, with Jimmy having just a few vocal harmonies and parts to add. The project has attracted amazing attention, with UNICEF requesting to use one of the new tracks, "In The Name of God", as part of a fundraising event to raise awareness and monies for the kids of Iraq. The album's release date is planned for February 2004, but there may be a single release prior to Christmas. Source:
