SORA

PRESS RELEASE/BIO
Throughout his musical career, Erol Sora has participated in countless studio sessions and has worked with numerous great musicians (including former members of Black Sabbath, Foghat, Survivor and Quiet Riot). Most recently, Erol has been playing guitar with former Uriah Heep/Lucifer’s Friend singer John Lawton. To this date he has recorded 4 CD’s and 2 DVDs with Mr. Lawton and has travelled throughout England, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Italy, Lithuania, Norway and Slovenia playing shows with the John Lawton Band. However, by the end of 2004, the band decided to take a break from live activities.
As a result, Erol decided to put together his own band and record Demented Honour, the solo album that’s been building up inside him over the years. The album was recorded in Vancouver where Erol enlisted an array of the city’s top musicians, consisting of drummer Lance Chalmers (ex-Trooper), bassist Kevin Dahl (various sessions), and keyboardists Gregory Macdonald (Big John Bates, ex-Peppersands, and John Ford) and Louise Porter (The Rumours).
Erol eagerly took on the challenge of writing all the material and performing all vocal duties himself. As Erol says, “I love singing and writing as much as playing guitar so this truly has been a labour of love having the creative freedom to do a proper solo album. I wanted this CD to be based around the songs first and foremost, yet also appeal to fans of guitar oriented hard rock.” Most listeners will agree that Demented Honour features Erol’s finest guitar playing to date and are sure to be impressed with his natural vocal abilities.
Erol wanted Demented Honour to have the sound of “a classic album of in your face hard rock, with occasional blues and pop elements”. Jay Solyom (the Spitfires) engineered the record and provided Erol with just the sound he was looking for. Everyone involved in the project could not be happier with the results. Erol adds “I think fans of Bad Company, Deep Purple, KISS and Thin Lizzy will really dig it and I can't wait to play these songs live".
