EROL SORA RETURNS WITH NEW DESIRE! Erol is very pleased to announce SORA's 2nd album 'Desire And Truth' has been released through Marquee/Avalon in Japan on January 20th and on Avenue Of Allies throughout Europe February 26th, 2010. Says Erol, “I couldn't be happier to be with Marquee/Avalon and Avenue of Allies as they are great people to work with and have a genuine passion for melodick hard rock music. My aim with this album was to recapture the spirit and sound of great bands like MSG, Whitesnake, Rainbow, UFO, Gary Moore from the late '70s/early '80s era. I'd describe 'Desire & Truth' as a very heavy, guitar oriented album, yet still melodic in terms of vocals and songwriting. It's taken a long time to complete but I simply didn't want to rush this 2nd release and honestly couldn't be happier with the results. If compared to the last album, I'd say this one's heavier, more intense in terms of both vocals and guitar playing but most importantly still based on the songs first and foremost. I really hope people give it a listen.” SORA's 1st album 'Demented Honour' released on MTM Music in 2006 received rave reviews globally and earned them a position in melodicrock.com's Top 10 New Artists of that year.
