One band that certainly deserved the epithet of “super-group” was Blackthorne. Originally forming in 1991 when former Rainbow, MSG and Alcatrazz singer Graham Bonnet joined forces with former Meat Loaf, Balance and KISS collaborator Bob Kulick, in a line-up featuring ex-Impellitteri, Alice Cooper and Giuffria bassist Chuck Wright, Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali and New England and Alcatrazz keyboard player Jimmy Waldo.
Blackthorne released their sole studio album “Afterlife” in 1993 [available as HNECD072]. Although well received by the press; (Kerrang! magazine asserted that, “Afterlife invites you to bang your head, raise yer fist and holler”, while Metal CD magazine said, “A collection of big, chest-beating anthems”), Blackthorne never really fulfilled their true potential before the band members went their separate ways after that one album. Perhaps their brand of classic heavy rock was going against the tide of grunge, then the prevailing flavour of the early 1990s. HNE released the shelved second Blackthorne album, “Don’t Kill The Thrill” in 2016 (available as HNECD73D), but now present the 3CD collection, “We Won’t Be Forgotten: The Blackthorne Anthology”.
This set comprises of 44 tracks, 30 of which are newly unearthed, unreleased recordings. “Afterlife” had featured the band’s cover of Rainbow’s classic ‘All Night Long’, and one particular treat presented here is an unreleased recording of the Russ Ballard penned, Rainbow fave ‘Since You Been Gone’, the 1992 instrumental backing track which Graham Bonnet recently added vocals.
