http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140325 ZODIAC MINDWARP & THE LOVE REACTION To Release New Album In September - May 19, 2010 They were the prime mover, they preached back seat education, together with Alice Cooper they fed Frankenstein... now they are back... meaner, leaner and heavier than ever. ZODIAC MINDWARP & THE LOVE REACTION will enter a new decade of heavy dirty street rock 'n' roll and they declare "We are Volsung". Inspired by northern mythology ZODIAC MINDWARP & THE LOVE REACTION's new album features 10 brand-new unadulterated songs, including a track with the German title "Stark Von Oben". The CD will be released through SPV/Steamhammer in Germany on September 24, in the rest of Europe on September 27 and in the USA on September 28, followed by a European tour in October and a U.S. tour in November. ZODIAC MINDWARP & THE LOVE REACTION's story starts in the year 1985: In a musical world of hairspray and spandex, two long-haired, leather-clad rockers were introduced to each other by their "exotic dancer" girlfriends. One, a graphic artist and poet, the other, a budding philosopher. They immediately dropped everything, joined forces and created the dirtiest, wildest band of all time. One year later, they signed to Polygram, released, the groundbreaking "High Priest of Love" EP, and subsequently the "Tattooed Beat Messiah" album, containing the well received single "Prime Mover". Overnight, they accidentally changed the look of all the rock bands of the time from the obligatory spandex, eye liner and tinsel, to rough biker jackets, engineer boots and goatees. M?TLEY CR?E declared them to be their favorite band and immediately restyled themselves for the "Girls, Girls, Girls" record. ZODIAC MINDWARP & THE LOVE REACTION grew in notoriety, touring the world and America, co-headlining arenas and theaters with GUNS N' ROSES and found themselves at home playing festivals and baseball stadiums with IRON MAIDEN. After attending a ZODIAC MINDWARP & THE LOVE REACTION concert at the Hammersmith Odeon and giving it his seal of approval, Alice Cooper took to the studio and recorded the ZODIAC MINDWARP tune "Feed My Frankenstein", which was later performed in the film "Wayne's World"... The critical acclaim of ZODIAC MINDWARP & THE LOVE REACTION did, however, cause some rare misfortune, when they lost their young naive bass player to the lures of THE CULT. The band soldiered on regardless. Sometime later, in Paris, Slam Thunderhide, their drummer, decided to put down his sticks to become a go-go dancer in Vancouver. Present day: With "The Cat" shaking the Earth on drums and "Jack Shitt" rumbling the low frequencies, they ride again, honing their skills playing for the Viking descendants in Scandinavia. From these tough, manly ordeals, a new set of recordings have been forged. "We Are Volsung" is the result, a celebration in the Norse tradition. 10 songs of pure unadulterated rock. "We Are Volsung" track listing: 01. We Ride 02. Stark Von Oben 03. Kill Me a Mockinbird 04. Tree Rider 05. We Are Volsung 06. Don't Touch My Guitar 07. Die Pretty 08. Lucille 09. White Trash 10.
