Black Country Communion: Afterglow versie op CD in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Mascot Records (2) op 26. oktober 2012.

Three years have passed since the band's formation, during which time Black Country Communion have become immortal thanks to two excellent studio albums and a spicy live disc/DVD. Since then, Black Country Communion has raced from one artistic peak to another. After the hugely successful "BCC I" (2010), "BCC II" and "Live Over Europe" (both 2011), the band has set a high bar to measure up to. However, with their new release "Afterglow", Hughes, Bonamassa, Bonham and Sherinian easily surpass the goal they set for themselves and carve their exceptional position in the contemporary music scene in stone. The latest milestone in the career of this sensational rock band shows its enormous potential on eleven rock numbers full of energy. Hughes: "It's an album full of anthems, big feelings, heartbreaking drama and quiet moments, a work that gives me and many others a new perspective on life." Product Information Press Release: "Like its two predecessors, 'Afterglow' was produced by Kevin Shirley, whose catalog of hits for Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith and the Black Crowes has made him the hottest producer rock music has to offer. Shirley, who got the idea to put Hughes and Bonamassa together in a band after seeing them jam onstage in 2009, is the unofficial "fifth member" of the group. "With the arrival of Jason Bonham, the acclaimed son of Led Zeppelin's John who filled in for his father when the legendary band made music history with their reunion at London's O2 Arena in December 2007, and the in-demand Derek Sherinian, BCC is a force to be reckoned with. "Both of BCC's previous albums (2010's eponymous debut album and 2011's '2') have topped the official UK Rock Album Chart. Black Country Communion, who have been embraced by the UK music press, were voted 'Best New Band' by Planet Rock Radio listeners and won 'Best Breakthrough' at the prestigious Classic Rock Magazine Roll Of Honour Awards in 2011." Review ,".... dense and cohesive songs make "Afterglow" BCC's best album to date." (Stereo, December 2012) "Well done all round and a must for hard rock fans!" (Good Times, December/January 2012)
