![]() (And I say that as a big fan of Frank's work with Angel, which was bold, compelling and unique.) The new material itself (played by a cast of thousands, including the long-awaited Frank/Punky reunion) isn't bad and rocks pretty good at times, so younger listeners might not give Shit One about my complaint. And after watching YouTube clips of today's Frank treading water in the Old Rocker club circuit, perhaps a better name for this release might be "The Magic of the Studio," because that's how I conclude they got Frank's withering vocals to actually sound cohesive and in tune. The big vibrato is still there, but otherwise the ravages of time have taken their toll. The album might say Frank DiMino, but old fans who actually recognize that name would be surprised, since the voice sounds almost nothing like the pipes from his Angel days of yore.

After the band’s demise, Dimino went on to work with UFO’s Paul Raymond and worked as a singer on soundtracks, scoring a Platinum album for the inclusion of his song “Seduce Me Tonight” with Cycle V on the Flashdance soundtrack. The band was discovered by KISS bass player Gene Simmons who got them signed to Casablanca Records, where they released five critically acclaimed studio albums and one live one. I feel truly honored to have had all these great musicians be a part of this project!”įrank Dimino was the frontman for Angel in the second half of the 70’s. When the recording started, our friends wanted to be part of it and one after the other Pat Thrall, Punky Meadows, Eddie Ojeda, Rickey Medlocke and Jeff Duncan provided their amazing musicianship to the album. I started writing songs with Oz Fox and Jeff Labansky and then Paul suggested we use John Miceli (drums) and Danny Miranda (bass) as our rhythm section and Justin Avery for keys & background vocals because of his relationship from playing with them for Meat Loaf. Under the production of Paul Crook (Meat Loaf, Anthrax), the album sees the participation – among others - of Oz Fox (Stryper), Eddie Ojeda (Twisted Sister), Rickey Medlocke (Blackfoot, Lynyrd Skynyrd), Pat Thrall (Hughes/Thrall), Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint), Jeff Labansky, former Angel bandmates Punky Meadows (on guitar) and Barry Brandt (who co-wrote with Frank the song “Even Now”) and many others.įrank says, “It all started because of the relationships between Ken Ciancimino, Paul Crook, myself and the musicians that appeared on the album. While Frank is undoubtedly the brainchild of Dimino, Old Habits Die Hard sees him collaborate with some heavyweights of the Las Vegas music scene, where he currently resides. Frontiers Music Srl announces the release of the hotly anticipated comeback album from former Angel singer Frank Dimino, entitled Old Habits Die Hard, on July 3rd in Europe and July 10th in North America.
