“Introducing the highly-anticipated re-issue of Titanic’s “Full Steam Ahead” on Retroactive Records for 2024, now available in mesmerizing vinyl “smokestack symphony”. Remastered for vinyl by the esteemed Rob Colwell, this re-issue celebrates Titanic’s musical journey, blending the raw power of their debut “Maiden Voyage” with the melodic finesse of “Screaming In Silence”. Led by guitarist Bill Menchen and newly recruited vocalist David St. Andrew, Titanic delivers an electrifying fusion of metal and hard rock that captivates from start to finish. “Full Steam Ahead” boasts a line-up of heavy-duty hard rockers like “Dead Men’s Bones” and “Holy Ground”, alongside infectious hooks on tracks such as “Shovel The Coal” and “Captain Of The Ship”. Bill Menchen’s masterful guitar work, complemented by drummer David White’s precision, forms the backbone of the album’s powerhouse sound. But the excitement doesn’t end there. This re-issue features two re-recorded tracks from “Maiden Voyage”, showcasing original vocalist Simon Tyler and the legendary Robert Sweet from Stryper on drums. “Nightmare” kicks off with aggressive intensity, while “Come Home” shines with its unforgettable melody, now enhanced with a touch of acoustic guitar in its catchy chorus. Fun fact: “Come Home”, originally titled “Hollywood Blvd” and a fan favorite from “Maiden Voyage”, receives a fresh twist in this re-issue. And let’s not forget the influence of Robert Sweet from Stryper whose powerhouse drumming adds an extra layer of dynamism to these reimagined tracks. His collaboration with Titanic underscores the album’s significance and cements its place in rock history. With impeccable production values, “Full Steam Ahead” on vinyl is a must-have for fans of Saint, Barren Cross, Ozzy and Judas Priest, as well as enthusiasts of Menchen’s other projects like Final Axe and The Seventh Power.
