Arcara Arcara DELETED esm010 Russell Arcara first sprung to fame in 1985 on the release of the album “When Midnight Comes” by Surgin’. The band Surgin’ was the brainchild of one Jack Ponti who was working with a young Bon Jovi at the time. The album featured the song “Shot Through The Heart”, written by Ponti / Bon Jovi and the vocal style of Russell Arcara placed him in very high esteem with fans and critics alike. However, it was Bon Jovi’s own version that hit the big time, but Russell’s appeal was never far behind. Three years later, Russell took over from Dean Fasano as lead vocalist for master pompsters “Prophet”. Again there was a Bon Jovi connection as Fasano had previously worked with Richie Sambora and Alec Jon Such in the band “Message”. Prophet released two albums with Russell as lead vocalist : “Cycle Of The Moon” in 1988 and “Recycled” in 1991. These two performances were milestones in Russell’s singing career and helped establish him as a world class rock vocalist. That takes us into the nineties and the debut album by “Arcara” on Escape Music. The debut has a much more “in your face” style about it than Russell’s previous work and features great songs like “Marie”, “Wine & Roses” and “Love’s Decay”. Musicians on the album include Karl Cochran (Ace Frehley Band, Joe Lynn Turner, Phantom’s Opera), Scott Metaxas (Prophet, Nuclear Assault). The album was produced by Steve DeAcutis (POD) |
