Shark Island "Law Of The Order (Japan, Epic/Sony Records, ESCA-5010)

Shark Island is an American glam metal band from Los Angeles, California, United States, that formed in 1986. and reformed in 2017 and is currently touring clubs and hair metal festivals in Europe. The band are mainly known for their "cult hit" album, Law of the Order.

Chris Heilman and drummer Greg Ellis joined in 1989 to record and release the band's first album: Law of the Order. The single, "Paris Calling", had an elaborate music video. Randy Nicklaus was the producer for Epic Records. The band's live energy was not fully captured in the studio.

With the disappointing CD sales of the album and no promotion from Epic Records, the band vanished from the scene with most of its members joining other projects. Law of the Order was re-issued in 2004 by French independent label, Bad Reputation, as a double CD. That included bonus tracks culled from the July 14, 1989 Bastille Day - Alive At The Whiskey EP, "Father Time" and "Dangerous" from the 1989 Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure soundtrack, "My City" from the 1991 Point Break soundtrack, and LOTO era live cuts, "Spellbound' and "Sanctuary".
