HAWK "Hawk"

US Release : MM00014

STOCK STATUS: IN STOCK - ships in 1 day

80’s Melodic metal featuring stellar musicianship with a touch of heavy metal class. Think of the Scorpions, Dokken, and Yngwie Malmsteen! These guys should have been huge! They had it all, the look, the songs, the talent, and the attitude. A very professional release from one of the 80’s “unsung heroes”. Though hard rock cuts prevail, this project certainly has commercial viability. Material is similar to that of the Scorpions. We recommended this album." ---Billboard Magazine I f you like 80's metal, you'll like Doug Marks' 1986 "HAWK" CD featuring Doug Marks (Metal Method video guitar instructor) on guitar and bass, David Fefolt (Masi-Downtown Dreamers) on vocals and Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses) on drums. This ten-cut album is a most auspicious debut for Hawk, brainchild of guitarist Doug Marks, the best known guitar-lesson maven. Doug doesn't let his fast-fingered work overpower the tunes, and he's also responsible for the wonderful production values The overall feel is basically Yngwie Malmsteen meets the Scorpions (i.e., intricate, often hi-tech hard rock/heavy metal). The record sounds great from a production stand-point-even on the weaker tunes, the feel is pleasing.---Music Connection Magazine
