Earth Lux - Earth Lux [Digipak]

Earth Lux is a new band formed by French composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Steph Honde and Brazilian composer and drummer Fred Mika.Both musicians had previously worked together in the band Sunroad.In early 2023, Steph and Fred decided to form a parallel band focusing on melodic hard rock, but also incorporating some 70s influences.Shortly after songwriting began, Fred contacted his German friend, singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Voss (Michael Schenker Group, Mad Max, Casanova) to take over the bass guitar for Earth Lux.And, close to the other musician partnerships, such as the British musician and producer Steve Mann (Eloy, Lionheart MSG), who lives in Germany, for keyboards lines recordings, and the last member was completed by the Irish singer Robin McAuley (Grand Prix, Survivor, Black Swan and also MSG).A short time later, McAuley was suddenly called to rejoin MSG as the definitive singer, replacing Ronnie Romero, who decided to leave the group to pursue a solo career.Fred contacted another friend, American composer, singer and bassist Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Ring Of Fire, Uli Jon Roth) to replace Robin (who had even completed one of the album's lyrics). So by mid-2023, Earth Lux was fully formed and hungry for the first album.The album artwork was created by well-known British designer Tristan Greatrex, who has already worked for Lionheart, MSG, UFO and many other artists.
