Keel Guitarist Marc Ferrari Set To Release New Cold Sweat Album “Unburied Alive”

Ron Keel’s RFK Media label has signed former MCA artist Cold Sweat, with plans to release “Unburied Alive” on March 29th in conjunction with the band’s appearance at the 2024 M3 Festival on May 5th. The foundation of this album consists of four unreleased studio tracks from the early 90’s, which showcase the band (Marc Ferrari & Erik Gamans, guitar – Chris McLernon, bass – Anthony White, drums – and Roy Cathey, vocals) delivering powerful heavy melodic rock at its finest.
“Unburied Alive” also features vintage concert cuts from their 1990 appearance at the Super Rock Festival in Mannheim, Germany supporting Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Dio, and Poison, plus recent modern-era live recordings from their triumphant reunion at the 2020 Monsters Of Rock Cruise pre-party.
Ferrari founded Cold Sweat after departing the band Keel in 1989. The band released their acclaimed cult classic “Break Out” on MCA Records and toured the US and Europe before falling victim to the changing musical landscape of the 90s. This collection of recordings proves that the music has stood the test of time, and the men behind that music plan to drive that point home when they hit the stage May 5th in Columbia, Maryland at this year’s M3 Festival, on the bill with Bret Michaels, Night Ranger, Y&T and Stryper.
Marc Ferrari says: “Since the initial Cold Sweat reunion of 2020, we’ve been hearing loud and clear from the fans out there that they want to hear anything that has been previously unreleased. We all felt that the time was now to make these available. “It’s been said that doing something after a long time is kinda like ‘riding a bike.’ If that’s the case, then Cold Sweat won the Tour De France of Rock n Roll! Some of us hadn’t even seen each other in 29 years. We had 1 rehearsal and went on to do 2 incredible shows as part of the 2020 Monsters of Rock Cruise. It felt amazing to be on the stage and all the pieces fell back into place immediately.”
Roy Cathey says: “These songs are truly a snapshot in time. With our upcoming M3 performance, it seemed the perfect time to release these to the public. “Hearing this stuff brings the memories flooding back. The entire Cold Sweat experience was literally me living out my dreams. I will forever cherish the moments we shared together, both back in the day and what we’re getting ready to do at M3.”
