US Metal legends Driver are finally ready with their album "Sons Of Thunder" which will hit the stores on September 26th, 2008.

Driver were one of the top US acts at the height of melodic heavy rock in the late 1980's and issued a widely circulated 5-song cassette EP demo in 1990 that garnered the band a dedicated worldwide following as well as attained cult status as one of the most underrated hard rock acts of their time, and it has held steadfast throughout the years.

Since then, the two main writers and members of Driver - powerhouse vocalist Rob Rock and acclaimed guitarist/producer Roy Z - have forged ahead to garner long successful careers in the music business. Recording with various bands and recording projects like Impellitteri, Joshua, Warrior, Avantasia and Axel Rudi Pell over the years, Rock is currently well known as one of the very few hard rock/metal singers with a successful solo career - Roy is currently one of the most sought after metal producers, producing such artists as Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Judas Priest, Sebastian Bach, Rob Rock, Tribe of Gypsies and Helloween.

2008 saw the reunion of the band, drummer Reynold “Butch” Carlson”, keyboardist Ed Roth and bassist Aaron Samson joining Messers Rock & Z, which resulted in the recordings of the aforementioned record. "Sons Of Thunder" offering exactly the sound the fans of the band have been waiting for and will excite any fan of the genre.

The full track listing for Sons Of Thunder, which is released via Metal Heaven on September 26th, is as follows:

Titans of Speed, I’m a Warrior, Fly Away, Heart’s on Fire, Sons of Thunder, Never Give Up, Change of Heart, Dark World, Winds of March, Only Love Can Save Me Now, Tears That I Cry, and I Believe in Love.

Global Music are delighted to announce that they have signed established cult metal legends Marshall Law to a long term deal on their imprint label, DR2 Records and will release the eagerly anticipated sixth studio album ‘Razorhead’ in October this year.

Vocalist ANDY PYKE added, “Despite having the new album finished and mastered for the last twelve months, we chose to hold out for the right deal with the right label. We would like to thank our fans for their patience and are delighted to be working with Ged and Eric at Global Music. We believe that this is the right label to take the band forward. We’re looking forward to working with them and can’t wait to get back out on the road to promote the album”.
