Product Description
The third installment of a magnificent project from the founder of Escape Music, one of the UK's leading and longest-established melodic HR/HM labels! Khalil Turk, the founder of ESCAPE MUSIC, one of the UK's leading melodic HR/HM labels which started in 1995, has supervised, produced, and selected the songs and musicians for this major project, TURKISH DEKIGHT (*named after a traditional Turkish sweet called lokum in Turkish), reflecting his own ideals. Vol. I was released in 2022, followed by Vol. II in 2023. And now, the culmination of this project, Vol. III, is finally being released! This album also features a dazzling array of musicians! The album features singers such as Robin McAuley (MSG/Black Swan), Steve Overland (FM/Lonerider), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), James LaBrie (Dream Theatre/solo), Steve Walsh (Kansas), Harry Hess (Harem Scarem), and others; guitarists such as Howard Rees (HEART), Kee Marcello (Europe), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake/The Dead Daisies), and Lawrence Archer (Grand Slam/Thin Lizzy/solo); and on bass, Billy Sheehan (Talas/David Lee Roth/Mr Big), and on drums, Vinnie Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio/Last In Line), among others! The songs carefully selected by Khalil are tailored to each singer, and the album is packed with tracks that embody the essence of melodic hard rock/heavy metal!
