DEAD LUCKY: “Sons Of Lazarus” the rebelliously wild South African Heavy Rock ‘n’ Roll safari

«It‘s louder and harder than you‘ll ever want it». With this statement DEAD LUCKY set off to bring their brute thundering Heavy Rock ‘n‘ Roll from South Africa to Europe. And therefor they have powerful dynamite in their luggage, for sure. With their debut album “Sons Of Lazarus“ produced by Brendyn Rossouw and Theo Crous (Prime Circle, Parlotones, Karen Zoid, …) in the Heritage Sound as well as Bellville Studios and mastered by Reuben Cohen (Rob Zombie, Incubus, Bruno Mars, …) at Lurssen Mastering in Los Angeles they show unapologetic that the African continent is nutritious soil for convincing rough Heavy Rock with it’s own identity. On 13th March 2015 the album, which is as strong as a lion with decent roaring, will be released internationally by Dr. Music Records as digipak including a poster booklet and it will create a big stir with a fair certainty that will splash from the Table Mountain in Cape Town to the Rock ‘n‘ Roll strongholds of Europe.

Founded in 2011, Kyle Lucky (Vocals), Jean Labuschagne (Drums), Chris Thunder (Bass) as well as Chris Bornmann and Alex Krause (both Guitar) set their sights on sending the fans of dirty rough Rock on a musical safari, with their rampant enjoyment of playing and mangy variety, during which you can fully live up the Rock ‘n‘ Roll lifestyle. Within their still young band history DEAD LUCKY already have a whole lot of impressing performances at the most famous South African festivals to show. Here they fired up for bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Rise Against, Wolfmother, Rival Sons, Trivium as well as Killswitch Engage at the Synergy Live, RAMfest or the legendary Oppikoppi and hit the road with Billy Talent as their tour support. Now the rebellious guys from Cape Town focus their eyes on the North to look beyond the African horizon and send their striking sound on the journey to Europe.

However, they start off with their album “Sons Of Lazarus“ which contains twelve varied and powerful songs. Musically, the guys count on harsh guitar sounds with straight, catchy riffs, fast drumbeats and the individual roaring voice of front man Kyle Lucky that will make everybody happy who’s eyes are sparkling with joy listening to Danzig and Motörhead. This authentic Street Rock attitude makes DEAD LUCKY who they are and their music special. With the opener and title track “Sons Of Lazarus“ the lyrics deal with the subject of zombies and lead singer Kyle Lucky asks himself if they are able to have good intentions as well so that he makes the walking undead look like they are the ‘good guys‘. Of course, the topic sex, drugs and Rock ‘n‘ Roll shouldn’t be missing, which is talked about in the songs “King Of The Underworld“ and “Sin City“. Besides fast songs DEAD LUCKY also know how to shift down a gear with “End Of The Day” and strike quieter tones without seeming false gently. Furthermore, with “Favorite Kinda Woman” a wisdom of Lemmy Kilmister’s is paid tribute to who is firmly convinced that love affairs and Rock ‘n‘ Roll behave like oil and water. With hymns like “Live Fast, Die Last“ and “Our Prayer“ the pure rampant energy of the DEAD LUCKY sound is set free and the dirty Heavy Rock gets celebrated. You can convince yourselves of this energy with the already released music video “Prowler“. Here you find all trademarks of the insanely rebellious mob from the Cape of Good Hope again. Fans of bands like the already mentioned Motörhead, Danzig or the legendary Misfits should definitely give “Sons Of Lazarus“ a listen! So stay tuned for the release of the wild bearded beast from South Africa and in the meantime the motto of the first single counts, which will be released on 27th February 2015 including their mangy rough music video: Live Fast, Die Last
