When everything was recorded, Pelle started the mixing process. Since he has a very clear vision of how he wants the album to sound, he tries to use the final drum sounds already at the pre-production stage, just to get the right feel for the songs. That way the mixing also gets a head start with the sound already being “set”. This time we went for a bit more guitars and a slightly heavier edge, also there were intentionally no ballads on the album this time. For the guitar sound the inspiration came from TNT’s 'Intuition' album, while John Mutt Lange’s spirit of course hovers over the overall production. The big choruses and distinctive melodies were something we put a lot of work into. We always want songs with a simple rhythmic chant like “Rawk ‘n Roll Hysteria” (of course the Def Leppard pun was very intended) or “Face It”, but also more melodic choruses like “I Would Be The Wind” or “Love Shouldn’t Hurt”. Lyrically, the songs may seem shallow when reading the titles, but many of them deal with a break-up Pelle was going through, and finding new love on the other side.

 There’s a new rock n roll thunder coming from the land down under, and it goes by the name CROSSON “ (Hair Band Heaven 2018)
Following the release of their critically acclaimed 2016 album Spreading The Rock ‘N Roll Disease, Australian based Futuristic Theatrical Rock Warriors, CROSSON, return in 2018 with their new album Invincible. The album has already entered the Top 20 of the Official German Rock and Metal Charts. Once again mixed by legendary producer Duane Baron (Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper), and mastered by U.S mastering legend Dave Donnelly (Aerosmith, KISS, Whitesnake) , Invincible delivers CROSSON’s own brand of uplifting catchy rock anthems with loud guitars, big harmonies and a blistering production. If Spreading the Rock n Roll Disease sparked people’s attention, Invincible will have them jumping aboard the CROSSON rebel train. “Invincible is ten tracks of fist in the air rock n roll anthems.” (Josh Smith - Hair Band Heaven) The opening track Rock Warriors is an anthemic tribute to all the metal / rock bands and artists who laid the foundations for the genre and kept it alive and kicking for decades, whilst the first single Never Give Up is an inspirational and ‘catchy as Chlamydia’ track with a strong 80’s Bon Jovi vibe that would even make Desmond Child tap his feet. The album’s only ballad Unconditional Love is a duet with renowned Finnish singer / actress Jessica Wolff, with the music video shot in Sydney and Croatia by award winning feature film and music video director Steve Ravic (Doro, Manowar, Rhapsody). “Invincible is as catchy as it gets.. fantastic melodies, harmonies….. Crosson are firing on all cylinders. Rock will never die whilst there are bands like Crosson” (Adam Cox - Decibel Geek ) Nothing can prepare you for the visual onslaught CROSSON delivers in its live show. Numerous costume changes, blended with high- energy choreography, smoke, sirens, and catchy rock anthems makes the CROSSON live show a seen- to- be- believed entertaining experience. “If you like the of idea of KISS and Motley Crue crossed with The Darkness and Steel Panther, you’re gonna love CROSSON” (Xavier Russell - Classic Rock Magazine AOR) To sample Crosson visit www.crosson.com.au www.facebook.com/crossonrock www.youtube.com.au/crossonrock www.reverbnation.com/crosson Our interview with frontman Jason Crosson
