Description

A solo album by Rick Hughes, widely known as the singer of the Canadian metal band SWORD, featuring an impressive lineup of guest musicians! SWORD is a classic Canadian traditional metal band formed in 1980 that left a strong impression on fans worldwide with its 1st album "Metalized" (1986) and 2nd album "Sweet Dreams" (1988). After reuniting in 2011, the band released the long-awaited original album "III" (2022), staying true to its established direction and drawing major attention from metal maniacs. Now, Rick Hughes, SWORD's flagship singer, is releasing his first solo album in a while, his first since 2016. This album, "Redemption," is not aimed at French-speaking audiences like his previous releases, but is instead his first album aimed at English-speaking audiences. It is a hard rock work that is more melodic, focuses on vocals and story, and can appeal to the world in many ways. Another highlight is the diverse and star-studded list of guest participants. Metal fans will surely be moved to tears after watching the music video for The Who cover "The Real Me," which has already been released on YouTube and other platforms and become newsworthy, featuring Brad Gillis (g), Rudy Sarzo (b), and Tommy Aldridge (dr), the three members who came together from Ozzy Osbourne's "Speak Of The Devil (Akuma no Sasayaki)." In addition, fellow Canadian Lee Aaron (vo), former The Doors member Robbie Krieger (g), and Jacob Deraps, guitarist of the Canadian band DERAPS, which has also become a topic in Japan for evoking early Van Halen, also participate and deliver outstanding performances. The album was produced by John Webster, known for working with Aerosmith and Motley Crue, and was recorded in Vancouver, Canada at "Hipposonic Studio." Backed by Rick Hughes' skill and career, this long-awaited masterpiece packed with excellent vocals and songs is finally being released! The Japanese edition includes a bonus track, a Japan-original jacket, interview liner notes with Rick Hughes, lyrics, and Japanese translations.

リデンプション / リック・ヒューズ

カナディアン・メタルの雄、SWORDのシンガーとして名を馳せるリック・ヒューズによる豪華ゲスト参加のソロ・アルバム! 1980年に結成、'86年に1stアルバム『Metalized』を、'88年に2ndアルバム『Sweet Dreams』をリリースして世界中のファンに大きな印象を遺したカナダの正統派メタルバンドSWORD。2011年の再結成後、満を持しての、そして変わらない路線のオリジナルアルバム『III』 (2022年)をリリースし、メタルマニアから大きな注目を集めた。そのSWORDの看板シンガーであるリック・ヒューズが2016年以来となる久々のソロ・アルバムをリリースする。今作『Redemption』はこれまでのフランス語圏に向けたアルバムでなく、初めての英語圏に向けたアルバムであり、よりメロディックで、ヴォーカルとストーリーに焦点を当て、色々な意味で世界にアピール出来るハードロック作品となっている。多彩で豪華なゲストが参加していることも特筆に値する。先にYouTube等で公開されニュースになっているブラッド・ギルス (g)、ルディ・サーゾ (b)、トミー・アルドリッジ (dr)という、あのオジー・オズボーンの『Speak Of The Devil (悪魔の囁き)』のメンバー3人が集結してのThe Whoのカバー『The Real Me』のMVを観て感涙しないMETALファンは居ないはず。さらに同郷のリー・アーロン (vo)、元DOORSのロビー・クリーガー (g)、そして日本でも話題の初期ヴァン・ヘイレンを彷彿させるカナディアン・バンドDERAPSのギタリスト、ジェイコブ・デラプスも参加し、素晴らしいパフォーマンスを披露! アルバムはエアロスミスや、モトリー・クルーを手掛けたジョン・ウェブスターのプロデュースでカナダ、ヴァンクーヴァーの"Hipposonic Studio"で制作されている。リック・ヒューズの実力とキャリアに裏打ちされた素晴らしい歌唱と楽曲が収められた傑作が満を持してリリース! 日本盤ボーナストラック入り、日本オリジナルジャケット、リック・ヒューズへのインタビューライナーノーツ、歌詞、対訳付き。
