ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 25, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Lion Eagle Productions, LLC today announced that – after covering such diverse artists as Rush, Bruce Hornsby and Motley Crue – Glorified High School (GHS) recently realized its greatest ambition by recording a track-for-track reimagining of the 1987 \u201cWhitesnake\u201d album. This new album of cover songs takes popular \u201880s rock songs to new places sonically and emotionally.<\/p>\n

\nGHS has also covered Rush, Bruce Hornsby, Bob Marley, Don Henley, Cinderella, Rockwell, Queensryche, Queen, Motley Crue, Neil Young, Loverboy, Jude Cole, The Cardigans, Matchbox Twenty, The Ronettes, The Troggs, Britney Spears, No Doubt, The Four Seasons, Foreigner, Marvin Gaye, Richard Marx, Collective Soul and Van Halen.<\/p>\n
One year after the original \u201cWhitesnake\u201d album\u2019s 30th anniversary, these new renditions are as far from sound-alikes as possible and take each song in a completely new direction, uncovering new layers of depth and emotion (not to mention featuring female vocalists).<\/p>\n
According to Glorified High School\u2019s founder Doug Astrop, \u201cWhen Glorified High School covers a song, our goal is to make the new version sound completely different from the original, taking it to a new place musically. We often change the tempo, modify the kay signature or scale and\/or reverse the gender of the vocalist to ensure the new recording is unquestionably distinct.\u201d<\/p>\n
On \u201cWhitesnake,\u201d Glorified High School transforms \u201cCrying in the Rain\u201d into a yearning ache for more, \u201cBad Boys\u201d becomes a celebration of the free spirit, \u201cStill of the Night\u201d slows to a moody crawl, \u201cHere I Go Again\u201d examines a longing for lost love and purpose, \u201cGive Me All Your Love\u201d takes on a melancholy timbre, \u201cIs This Love\u201d is recast as a dark manifesto, \u201cChildren of the Night\u201d slides into a jazzy and bouncy celebration of the joys of music, \u201cStraight for the Heart\u201d morphs into a soaring and sparse love song, and \u201cDon\u2019t Turn Away\u201d airs a mournful plea to an indifferent lover.<\/p>\n
No one can match the grizzled rasp and towering vocal range of David Coverdale, one of rock\u2019s greatest singers, but Glorified High School has illuminated the power of these great songs by taking them to new realms and thereby paying them the ultimate tribute.<\/p>\n
