Burning Rain is a band formed by guitarist Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake) and singer Keith St John (Montrose) in 1998. Joining the group were drummer Alex Makarovich (ex-Steelheart) and Ian Mayo (ex-Hurricane Alice) on bass.
The band released two albums in Japan and Europe, Burning Rain (1999) and Pleasure to Burn (2000), respectively, before going on hiatus due to Aldrich's involvement with Dio and Whitesnake and St John's involvement with Montrose. Aldrich and St John re-activated the group with a new rhythm section, veteran bassist Sean McNabb (Dokken) and drummer Matt Starr (Ace Frehley), and issued a new album, Epic Obsession, in 2013.
Burning Rain is the debut studio album released by the hard rock band Burning Rain.
All songs written by Doug Aldrich and Keith St. John.

Axxis is a German heavy metal band that was founded in 1988. Their debut album, "Kingdom of the Night", became the best-selling debut album ever by a hard rock band in Germany in 1989.
Axxis' musical roots lie within the traditional heavy rock of the 70s and 80s including influences of 90s electronic music. Bernhard's unique vocal style is another characteristic trademark of the band. Axxis' major ambition is "to be a pure Rock n' Roll band".
Hold on
The sentinel is screaming
All Hell's breaking loose, so don't walk away
But we're leaving all behind, with nothing left to lose
On the way to our journey, we're fading away
Ooh will we ever be back home
Ooh we can't go on
All night long
When we are leaving
We're going black to the dungeons
Through the burning rain
We'd been so strong
But now we are yearning
We are yearning for breathing
In the burning rain
No return
We seem to be hopeless in the night
We wish we could fly but only can crawl
We tried to repress the tragedy, searching for our goal
