Recently Dokken announced about new member in their band. The freshman is a talented guitarist Ira Black, who is known by works in such bands as I Am Morbid, Westfield Massacre and many others.
Dokken is the quite sophisticated heavy metal band formed back in 1978 in Los Angeles. It is important to remember that, the band's music style combined elements of hard rock and heavy metal, and also sometimes even referred to glam metal. By the way, throughout the world, more than 10 million albums of the band were sold.
As a matter of fact, members of Dokken band had changed a lot, only Don Dokken remains unchanged. Due to the melodic timbre of the voice of Don and professional guitar parts of George Lynch, the group gained wide popularity since the 1980s. As for the members of the band, besides the lead singer Don Dokken, the band includes Mick Brown on the drums and Chris McCaarill on the bass guitar.
Аt the moment, Ira Black is known for many participants in such bands as Westfield Massacre, Metal Church, Vicious Rumors, Heathen and Lizzy Borden. So now it's the right time for a talented guitarist to show himself up at the DOKKEN band and its tour that will take place across the US in November-December. Perhaps he can add something incredibly special to the tours of this team. Indeed, Ira Black is very pleased with this event and has a big desire to do his best. Therefore, Ira Black will appear on stage with the DOKKEN band in Houston on November 2, followed by a show at the Rockfest 80's Festival in Pembroke Pines, Florida on November 4, as well as another 7 shows throughout December. And what's going to happen is still unknown.
In essence, Ira Black will replace the guitarist Jon Levin, who was in the band since 2003. In the meantime, the further details about Jon Levin are unknown.
However, musicians promise a powerful show and still do not disclose all other information. In addition, DOKKEN announced the work on a new album, which is scheduled for release for the next year.The band's latest album was Broken Bones in 2012.
Congratulations to Ira, but it's a big loss with Jon Levin leaving. He's really a great shredder and great to watch on stage. The nicest guy and a kind friend. I feel sad about this.
