The annals of Belgian heavy music history are being rewritten with the first-ever CD release of "Pure Rock Intox," the definitive studio recording by LiÃ¨ge-based quintet SHOOT SHORTER. Formed in mid-1989, the group represented a powerful reunion of creative forces, led by guitarist Rudi Vandenbossche and vocalist Steve Shorter, both veteran members of the legendary Belgian metal outfit FN GUNS. While the project initially took shape on the local circuit as a high-energy cover act, the undeniable chemistry between the members soon pivoted the band toward a professional path of original composition and full-time dedication.By early 1992, following a series of commanding live performances in their hometown, SHOOT SHORTER entered the studio to capture their signature sound. The resulting album, "Pure Rock Intox," masterfully maintained the sonic architecture established during their tenure with FN GUNS, delivering a sophisticated blend of hard n' heavy music built upon straightforward, driving riffs and meticulously crafted vocal harmonies. Despite it's quality and the pedigree of it's members, the album was originally only available as a limited cassette release, leaving it as a coveted mystery for fans of the genre for over three decades.This CD edition will finally grant "Pure Rock Intox" the recognition it deserves, featuring eight original tracks that capture the energy and the musical roots of the band. Enhancing the listening experience, the physical edition includes a comprehensive booklet featuring complete lyrics, a detailed band biography, and a collection of rare, previously unseen archival photos. This release is an essential acquisition for collectors, as well as a definitive milestone in the history of Belgian heavy music.For fans of: FN GUNS, STEELOVER, SCORPIONS.
