The second album from Furyon has been long, long overdue! It finally landed on 23rd February when “Lost Salvation” was released through Dream Records / Cargo Records. And, not surprisingly, it was certainly worth the wait. The first album “Gravitas” was initially released in 2010 and established the band in many people’s eyes. There were a number of re-releases of that debut album, but we finally have a follow-up that is the equal (and perhaps more) of “Gravitas”. “Lost Salvation” has been on fairly heavy rotation on my iPod since I received the album from our friends at Rock n Growl Promotion, who as ever are doing a great job getting the album into the spotlight.

Back in November I posted an interview with Joe Lynn Turner that we’d done via e-mail. That interview covered his latest release with Rated X and numerous other projects. (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1725-ni-rocks-interview-with-joe-lynn-turner.html) Since then the former Rainbow and Deep Purple singer has announced a series of solo shows across the UK, including one in Voodoo, Belfast on 4th April, so I took the opportunity to record a new interview with JLT for the Friday NI Rocks Show and get him to select some tracks to play. We chatted for about 25 minutes and JLT talks about the upcoming solo shows, his hopes for Rated X, upcoming plans including appearances on the “Rock Meets Classic” tour and working with Richie Blackmore, the Hughes Turner Project and more.
The interview was recorded on 20th February and was broadcast on Friday 27th February. It is available from the NI Rocks MixCloud site -https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/interview-with-joe-lynn-turner-from-the-friday-ni-rocks-show-on-27th-feb-2015/
