Strength Through Suffering Signs Record Deal

Long Island's Strength Through Suffering has inked a deal with Eulogy Recordings, and the label comments:

"Formed in 2009, Strength through Suffering had been on hiatus until original members Dan & Paul decided to get the band back together. With the addition of Paul 'Romper' on vocals and C.J. and Charlie to fill out the rhythm section, they were ready to come back harder and more devastating than ever.

"With the release of their 4 song demo in June of 2013, they were bringing their own blend of hardcore, metal & hip hop influences to whoever cared to listen. With everyone trying to make music they think everyone wants to hear, Strength through Suffering was formed on the idea of making the type of music they want to listen to."

Strength Through Suffering is currently in the studio working on the full-length "Setting Things Straight" album.

"Black Lightning Gallery undertook what can only be described as a painstaking labor of love to curate, restore and unveil these rare images. In addition, they worked to select iconic, renowned shots to be released as limited edition fine art prints.

"Kirkland has unveiled the first selection of images from the collection, including Guns N’ Roses during the 'Sweet Child ‘O Mine' video shoot, Ozzy Osbourne backstage with a white dove, Iron Maiden at Long Beach Arena in 1985, Motley Crue during the 'Girls, Girls, Girls' video shoot, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai with David Lee Roth, Metallica with Cliff Burton, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Van Halen and many more.

"Visit Black Lightning Gallery and experience their brand new online presence! The new site features many exclusive images, hand signed by Gene Kirkland himself, which are all available to the public for purchase as limited numbered editions. The website has many fan bonuses including exclusive looks at images of backstage passes from the shows, personal memories from Gene Kirkland and many more.
