Album Re-Release

Great chance to get a classic on vinyl!!!

Los Angeles Heavy Rock heavyweights Fireball Ministry announce the special vinyl reissue of their 2003 classic 'The Second Great Awakening' on May 22nd, as part of Ripple Music's 'Beneath the desert Floor" reissue series. Fireball Ministry has truth and Rock 'n’ Roll valour imprinted in their DNA, with a mixture of East Coast and Midwestern roots stirred into their California melting pot. From the outset, the band has aggressively steered clear of pretension. They move ever forward with a clear focus on bottom-heavy tunes, channelling timeless Hard Rock without falling into the traps of mere imitation or novelty.

As such, they have earned the respect of many fellow artists and a legion of dedicated fans has built in their wake. Their sophomore album, 2003’s 'The Second Great Awakening' was produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Rush / Foo Fighters / Alice In Chains) and initially released on Nuclear Blast Records. The album lineup is James A Rota II (Guitars, Vocals), Emily J Burton (Guitars), Janis Tanaka former L7 (Bass, Backing Vocals), and John Oreshnick (Drums). It features an exclusive artwork created by cult comic artist Dan Brebreton of "Nocturnals" fame. The album is now seeing an exclusive LP reissue through Californian label Ripple Music, which features the European bonus track 'Dark Descend' for the first time on a vinyl reissue.
