The 4th solo album by the NAZARETH singer!
Precise, catchy and powerful. Carl Sentance does not do things by halves with "Electric Eye". This timeless album goes without detours, directly into the ear!
"Electric Eye" is the name of the new solo album by Carl Sentance (singer of NAZARETH). One thing is immediately clear when listening to the songs: Carl Sentance does not do things by halves. Each song goes immediately into the ear. Every song invites to headbanging & singing along.
Songs like "Exile" or "Overload" are punchy, catchy and powerful. And they are above all one thing: timeless. All songs on the album have a distinct character of their own, which is just as convincing today as it will be tomorrow.
Carl Sentance was born 28th June 1961 in Loughborough Leicestershire, UK and started his first band LEADING STAR playing guitar and singing in 1977.
After participating in several local bands, he replaced John Deverill as a vocalist in the NWoBHM band PERSIAN RISK.
In 1981 he recorded his first single ”Calling For You”, the band then recorded Ridin High in 1983.
In 1984 PERSIAN RISK toured with MOTÖRHEAD throughout the UK and appeared on The Tube prime time TV on Ch4. In 1985 Carl recorded his first PERSIAN RISK album "RISE UP".
At this point he received an offer from manager Smallwood Taylor to join GEEZER BUTLER (BLACK SABBATH) as lead singer in his solo project. The collaboration lasted from 1986 to 1988 and created demo songs, videos and various bootlegs.
Carl left the Geezer Butler Band in 1988 to join the Welsh band MONROE.
In 1988 Carl decided to return to Cardiff and joined the band TOK-IO ROSE. In 1990 he decided to move to Florida to form the band GHOST with Welsh ex- UFO and WASTED guitarist Paul Chapman.
Five years later Carl returned to the UK.
From 1996 to 1999 he sang in various musicals, such as JUDAS in Jesus Christ Super Star and the AMERICAN in Chess.

In 2009 Carl recorded his first solo album “MIND DOCTOR”! That led him to try and reform the original PERSIAN RISK but at the time the members were busy with other projects so Carl put a brand new Persian Risk together and came up with two great albums "ONCE A KING" in 2012 and "WHO AM I" in 2014.
