discography:

MetalTalk (Rapid Fire Succession: On Target Part II):
“Revives the spirit on ‘92, grunge be damned.”
Vinylestimes (Rapid Fire Succession: On Target Part II):
“…the album confirms that David Reece remains one of the greatest singers of melodic hard rock, and that Bangalore Choir still has its place in the foreground.”

Bangalore Choir are back in full force, and with ‘Rapid Fire Succession: On Target Part II‘ they make it unmistakably clear that this is far more than a nostalgic comeback.
Released on October 24, 2025 via BraveWords Records, the album reconnects directly with the spirit of the cult classic ‘On Target‘ while sounding sharp, current, and unapologetically heavy.
The album’s impact was immediate.
Lead single ‘Bullet Train‘ stormed to #1 on the 97Underground.com radio playlist, holding the top spot for six consecutive weeks, while also landing in medium rotation on the legendary KNAC FM.
A live video for the track, filmed during Bangalore Choir’s recent European tour with Girlschool and label mates Alcatrazz, captures the raw power and renewed hunger of the band in a live setting.
Onstage, the setlist bridged eras effortlessly, mixing Bangalore Choir staples with select Accept classics, all driven by one of heavy metal’s most instantly recognizable voices.
That tour marked the live debut of David Reece’s relaunched version of Bangalore Choir, and the audience response left little doubt that the band’s legacy still resonates strongly.
Fans didn’t just listen – they sang along, loudly, to new cuts like ‘Bullet Train‘ and ‘Driver’s Seat‘, the latter also cracking the 97Underground Top 10 at #6.
For Reece, those moments were deeply affirming.
“Seeing and hearing people singing along to the new songs was truly inspiring,”
he said.
“We can’t thank you all enough for raising the roof.”
David Reece’s story is well known, but it bears repeating in context.
First rising to international prominence in 1987 when he replaced Udo Dirkschneider in Accept, Reece fronted the band on the much-debated but now widely reassessed ‘Eat The Heat‘ album.
While divisive at the time, the record showcased his ability to balance American hard rock accessibility with unmistakable heavy metal bite – qualities that would later define Bangalore Choir.
Songs like ‘Generation Clash‘ and ‘XTC‘ have since become late-’80s staples.
Following his departure from Accept in 1990, Reece founded Bangalore Choir as a vehicle for melody-driven heavy rock.
Their 1992 debut ‘On Target‘, released via Giant Records, has since become a cornerstone album for fans of melodic hard rock and AOR, its momentum cruelly halted by the rise of grunge-era radio programming.
Though Reece went on to front bands such as Bonfire, Wicked Sensation, EZ Livin’, and Iron Allies, Bangalore Choir always felt like unfinished business.
‘Rapid Fire Succession: On Target Part II‘ finally closes that circle.
Rather than rewriting history, it builds directly upon it – hook-laden, energetic, and proudly melodic, but delivered with the weight and confidence of experience.
With touring continuing into 2026 and U.S. dates already being lined up, Bangalore Choir are no longer looking back.
They’re charging forward – loud, fast, and very much on target.
