Veteran rockers LOVE/HATE will release a new studio album, "Crucified", in January. A U.K. tour will follow in March.
The first LOVE/HATE record of all-original music in years, "Crucified" sees the band's lead singer, Jizzy Pearl, "taking the 'old' out of old-school and delivering songs that sound every bit as classic as the classic LOVE/HATE songs fans have grown to love," according to a press release.
LOVE/HATE will perform on next year's Monsters Of Rock cruise, which will take place March 29 - April 2.
LOVE/HATE's debut album, "Blackout in the Red Room", reached No. 154 on The Billboard 200 in 1990. The video for the single "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?" was in rotation on MTV, chiefly on "Headbanger's Ball".
In 1992 when they released a second album "Wasted in America", Jizzy Pearl used himself in a legendary publicity stunt to help album sales. This stunt, with the help of a few others, included Jizzy successfully erecting a cross on the Hollywood sign and positioned himself on it. There are two incarnations of LOVE/HATE, before Jizzy Pearl left for L.A. GUNS and after he returned to restart LOVE/HATE. The second incarnation ended quickly as Jizzy Pearl left again to join RATT.
