ABOUT THE ALBUM
Introducing the highly-anticipated reissue of Titanic's "Full Steam Ahead" on Retroactive Records for 2024, now available in two mesmerizing vinyl variants: "Smokestack Symphony" and the exclusive "Clear Smoke," with only 60 copies in existence.
Remastered for vinyl by the esteemed Rob Colwell, this reissue 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 lineup 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 reissue 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 reissue.
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 and limited-edition variants, "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. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of rock history with Titanic's "Full Steam Ahead" - available exclusively through Retroactive Records.
