The band\u2019s debut album \u201eThunder And Lightning\u201c was released in April 1988. A great deal for the 2nd album with a major label was unfortunately cancelled close before the signing in 1989. CANNON nevertheless started the production of this record on a self-financed basis in 1991. Unfortunately the tapes with the still unfinished record were stolen. In 1994, the band recorded a 7 track demo tape and re-issued the sought after \u201cThunder And Lightning\u201d album on tape. These tapes massively sold at the band\u2019s live shows. The beginning of the end for the band though was the departure of drummer Mats Toralf in 1994. After a long, unsuccessful search for a proper replacement, singer Mat Rein Jaehnke also decided to quit the band in October 1996. Soon afterwards, CANNON split off completely.<\/p>\n
The band reunited in September 2003 with four members of the original line-up. Drums though now were handled by original guitarist Walter Mueller (besides the guitar work) who originally had started to perform as a drummer. In November 2003, the band began to write and record new songs at Steve Carrington\u2019s home studio. A double CD called \u201cThe History\u201d containing the original \u201cThunder And Lightning\u201d album and the unreleased \u201cTimeriders\u201d demo material was issued in late March 2004.<\/p>\n
The new recordings were released under the name \u201cBack In Business\u201d in June 2005 in Europe and May 2006 in the US.<\/p>\n
Twenty years after the original release the remastered \u201cThunder And Lightning\u201d CD was released in the US. Shortly after this in September 2008, CANNON\u2019s next new album \u201cMetal Style\u201d got its worldwide release.<\/p>\n
In early 2012 CANNON was signed by the German record label meantime music, a subdivision of Yesterrock for their new record \u201cBurning Love\u201d. The release date was set for 07.09.2012.<\/p>\n
