Horns And Halos follow-up arrives in October

Michael Monroe has revealed the artwork and tracklist for 10th solo album Blackout States, which arrives on October 9 via Spinefarm.

The follow-up to 2013’s Horns And Halos features the former Hanoi Rocks frontman’s band of Sami Yaffa, Steve Conte, Rich Jones and Karl Rockfist.

Monroe recently said: “I’m extremely excited about Blackout States. It has all the ingredients of a perfect rock’n’roll record – strong melodic songs with meaningful lyrics that defy all cliches, delivered with a punky, ballsy attitude by a killer band.

“I highly recommend it to anyone who’s even a little bit interested in what authentic, high-energy rock’n’roll at its best sounds like today.”

Monroe launches a European tour in October with Hardcore Superstar. He then performs with Alice Cooper at the Pavilions, Plymouth, on October 29 and the Oasis, Swindon, on October 30.
