NOTES
Track 06 : "Everybody Needs Somebody" written by Gene Simmons and Jesse Damon, this song was considered for use by KISS on their "Psycho Circus" album (1998).
The song was originally written in the era Gene Simmons was working with Jesse Damon's band SILENT RAGE, specifically the "Revenge" album (1992).



Extra NOTES (by Jesse Damon, September 29, 2024) :
"Thou Shalt Not" was recorded live in 2004 at Groove Works Studios in Torrance, California.
My solo band was performing at a pre-tour party for guests and friends and the entire set was being recorded live that night. "Thou Shalt Not" sounded great, the best of the bunch. So, when I was searching through my entire back catalogue of unreleased material, I chose that one.

"Message To Your Heart" was recorded in 2004 at Down to Hear Studios in Burbank, California. "I was recording my second album Nothin' Else Matters and had most of the songs finished. I'd just written a new acoustic ballad and thought it might fit in with the album, so we recorded it, but with a few other tracks still in the running I left it off the album. Now you get to hear it!".

"All My Emotions" was the last song to be recorded for Temptation in the Garden of Eve album in 2013, "But after recording it and listening to it with the rest of the other songs, it didn't quite fit.  The song and lyrics were too dark. So now I choose to include it here on Anthology!"

“Anthology” is a must-have for fans of Jesse Damon and Silent Rage. With his powerful vocals, catchy melodies and guitar-driven energy, this album demonstrates Damon's incredible talent and versatility and shows why he is highly respected in the classic rock, hard rock, and melodic metal community. “Anthology” showcases Jesse's commitment to excellence.

Jesse Damon's musical journey began in the late 70s and early 80s, inspired by the greats of the classic/hard rock scene. He gained recognition in the mid-80s as the lead singer and guitarist of the band SILENT RAGE, who achieved success with their albums "Shattered Hearts" and "Don't Touch Me There". Damon's collaboration with Gene Simmons led to the hit song "Thou Shalt Not" on the KISS album "Revenge."

All of Jesse's solo albums have just been added to his website so fans can get downloads directly from the artist and surpass the middle man.
Also a new comprehensive Silent Rage page has been added to his official website.
It includes a complete biography, discography, film credits and lots of rare photos.
Most recently, the Silent Rage track “Rich, Young and Pretty” appeared on the soundtrack to the late 2023 film “Head Count.”
The song originally appeared on their 1987 debut album, “Shattered Hearts.”
