Irish Rock Band Speedking Release New Album 'Cause And Effect'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Speedking Official Website) - Speedking, the Castleblayney based hard rock band, are launching their new album 'Cause and Effect'. The album was produced and mixed by Ronan Morgan and mastered by Jon Astley, known for his work with Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jools Holland and the Sex Pistols, at Close to the Edge Studios London.

Recorded in Monaghan's Attic Studio the album is the culmination of eight years of hard work. Over this time, Speedking have developed a unique hard rock sound. The album combines elements of progressive rock with strong melodies - unusual for a band of this kind.

About Speedking:

The group formed in 2002 by school friends Gerry Black (Lead Guitar) Ronan Morgan (drums & vocals) Paul McCabe (bass guitar) and Niall Mc Guigan (vocals, guitar & tenor sax).

To date, Speedking have released two self-produced, highly successful and critically acclaimed EPs.

In 2004 'Welcome to My Head' saw journalists comparing them to hard rock's figureheads with 'riffs that Megadeath or early Metallica would have played if they had Layne Staley singing for them' (Rock Sound magazine).

In 2007, 'Change of scenery' was accorded similar praise from Metalireland.com among others with 'if Speedking keep on at the rate of talent exhibited here, the only way there going is up'.
