Ripple Music is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of
the long-lost debut album "Sunlight" from retro-rock pioneers,
Freedom Hawk. Hailing from the barrier
dunes of Virginia,
this quartet blends heavy riffs, a rolling groove, and soulful guitar melodies
to produce the sound that is Freedom Hawk. Widely recognized as one of the
leading forces in the retro-rock movement, their brand of heavy rock coupled
with a high energy live show, leaves many wondering if they’ve stepped through
a time warp that has taken them to rock’s heyday of the 70’s by the power of
their dark music fueled by the sun.
Originally self-released as a digital and very limited-run
CD release in 2009, Ripple is proud to give this seminal album the full
"Ripple" vinyl treatment.
"Sunlight" is hard and powerful riff rock wrapped in core
metal tones with melodic high pitched vocals and slight psychedelic edges. The
driving beat and heavy guitars with timeless vocals gave light to the new birth
in heavy music. Relegated to digital only
status for too long, Sunlight will be released world-wide on January 27th, in
two vinyl versions and CD.
Ripple is proud to help bring this amazing album to a whole
new audience and spread the word on the killer riffs of Freedom Hawk.
"If Freedom Hawk were in search of the lost Black
Sabbath riff, they've struck gold. Their debut CD, 'Sunlight' is so chock full
of lumbering Sabbath-powered riffs and Blue Cheer-pinched guitar licks that it
will put cracks in your walls once you press play! Freedom Hawk rock loud and
proud and come HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." - The Atomic Chaser, THE DRP/All
