It is reported that stalwark UK rockers Uriah Heep will play the entire ‘Demons & Wizards’ album as part of their live set on two dates of their US winter tour.

Deluxe three disc edition of Lynch Mob’s ‘REvolution’ to be released in June

A deluxe edition of the Lynch Mob album ‘REvolution’ is to be released next month.

The band, formed by sometime Dokken guitarist Goerge Lynch, originally released ‘REvolution’ – their fifth studio album – in 2003. This was followed in 2004 by a live album of the ‘Revolution’ tour and in 2005 by a full length live DVD.

On June 19th 2012, Cleopatra Records brings together all three releases in one package. While the original studio album has remained on cataloge since its original release, both the live CD and DVD have been out-of-print for some time, so the new package is a welcome addition to the George Lynch catalogue.
