His voice has been considered one of the trademarks of the excellence of the two
Mantis releases and in this new solo album O Hora is able to make his talent shine
once again. "I needed to take the time necessary to express the lyric and emotion.
So although the recordings took quite a bit longer than we anticipated." says the British
singer, "I am incredibly proud of this album and it contains the best performances I've ever recorded."
The initial concept for this album came from the input of Frontiers Records President, Serafino Perugino
who wanted Tony to come back on the scene singing on a record that could bring back the memories
of grandeur of the Nowhere To Hide album especially.
"So he put me in touch with Swedish guitarist/producer Magnus Karlsson (Starbreaker, Allen / Lande,
Last Tribe)" explains Tony, "He sent me some demos and I was really impressed. We worked hard to gradually
build up the songs. Magnus' songwriting is perfect for my style of singing. I would describe it as melodic
rock but with more of an edge."
Escape Into The Sun is set to include the following tracklisting: Broken Soul; Escape Into The Sun; No More Innocence; High Enough; My Final Prayer; Dreamless Nights; More Than We Know; Close To Me; Evil Love; Black Wings; Start All Over; Never Alone.
Release date is set on January 27 on Frontiers Records in Europe with King Records caring for the release in Japan.
