LIBERTY N JUSTICE

‘Hell is coming to Breakfast’ is near completion and the official release date of April 24^th is quickly approaching! Pre-orders are still going on but if you want one of the special edition T-Shirt we only have a couple left so get your orders in quick! When they are gone, they are gone! We just posted some pictures of this beautiful 2 sided T-Shirt on the pre-order link! The shirts feature a listing of every contributing artist from HIC2B!

Want to hear some new LNJ from “HICTB”? Jim Madonna has put together some very cool vids for a few of the songs including an acoustic version of “Sin” featuring the late/great Jani Lane!!!!

“Sin” (acoustic version)  Jani Lane

“Stretch Armstrong“  Louis St. August (MASS), Keri Kelli (Alice Cooper) & JK Northrup (King Kobra/ XYZ)

“Hell Is Coming To Breakfast“  Seann Nichols (Adler’s Appetite / Tarsha), JK Northrup (King Kobra/XYZ)

“Your Memory Just Won’t Do” [Previously unreleased on CD] David Cagle, Alex Grossi (Quiet Riot) & CJ Snare (Firehouse)

Also, we invite you to a very special premiere of the ‘Lyrics Version’ of ‘Sin’ featuring Jani Lane. The song was already moving and inspiring people on its own, but when you read along to the lyrics combined with his beautifully haunting vocal performance, the video is even more moving. Jani had hand picked this song from Liberty n Justice as he was presented with several options and I think it is clear to see just why!

Anyone who may have questioned where his heart was at the time of his passing, I think it’s clear to see through this song, which is one of his very last vocal recordings, that he had made his peace with God and that we will all see him again one day!

We are proud to present to you ‘Sin’ featuring Jani Lane the latest video from Liberty n Justice upcoming new album ‘Hell is coming to Breakfast’…

*This is an alternative version and that may not be included on the physical release

Several tracks that were intended to be on “The Cigar Chronicles” release were rejected by the mainstream label because of the Christian oriented themes.  All of those songs were collected together to be released on Roxx Records as “Hell is Coming to Breakfast”!  Also of note is the alternative acoustic mix of “Sin”, featuring a final recording of the late Jani Lane (Warrent).

Roxx Productions along with Liberty ‘n’ Justice are very pleased to announce for LNJ’s 20^th Anniversary (1992-2012) the release of their 11^th studio album ‘Hell Is Coming to Breakfast’. This marks the bands second release on Roxx Records after a successful partnership on the Limited Edition charity CD entitled ‘Chasing a Cure LP’ that the two teamed up on earlier in 2011.  “Hell Is Coming to Breakfast” is set for release on March 1, 2012 with pre-sales beginning now.

Justin Murr of Liberty ‘n’ Justice has this to say about the release: “We recorded so many songs for our yet to be released 2 CD project entitled ‘The Cigar Chronicles’. Foreseeing that there would be a delay on this release until late in 2012 or early 2013, we didn’t want the fans to have to wait that long to get some new LNJ in their hands! When Bill of Roxx Records approached me and asked if we had anything else up our sleeves ready for release, we realized we had to many songs that were not going to fit on ‘The Cigar Chronicles’.  We came up with 6 songs that we thought would be best placed on this new record.  We also recorded another brand new song – which is the title track, ‘Hell Is Coming to Breakfast’. In addition, we are also pleased to include 5 previously unreleased rare cuts.  I am really excited for our fans to hear this collection!”

Bill from Roxx Records had this to say about the new release “We are very excited to be working with Justin and Liberty ‘n’ Justice once again, especially in the bands twentieth year! Justin Murr and all the wonderful artists he works with continue to release nothing but top notch material and after twenty years it is just amazing how they keep coming up with so many great Melodic Rock songs again and again and again!”

In addition to the 7 brand new tracks and various demos and rarities we are very excited to be able to include on this release and on CD for the very first time ever the original acoustic demo version of ‘Sin’, featuring the late great Jani Lane of Warrant out front on vocals.
