Metal Style

Cannon from Hannover, Germany were founded in 1986 consisting of Mat Rein Jaehnke (vocals), Walter Mueller (guitars), Steve Carrington (bass), Oliver Krueger (lead guitars) and Mats Toralf (drums). The band's debut album Thunder And Lightning was released in April 1988. Cannon started the production of this record on a a self-financed basis in 1991. Unfortunately the tapes with the still unfinished record got stolen. In 1994, the band recorded a 7 track demo tape and re-issued the sought after Thunder And Lightning album on tape. These tapes massively sold at the band's live shows. The beginning of the end for the band was the departure of drummer Mats Toralf in 1994. After a long, fruitless search for a proper replacement, singer Mat Rein Jaehnke also decided to leave the band in October 1996. Soon afterwards, Cannon split off completely. This, their recent release carries the torch.
