Description
Double album on orange vinyls with gatefold cover
Its Geoff Thorpes story of power and pain. The quest to change peoples lives with the power of metal music and the fascination of his band in 2011. The guitarist and main songwriter of American power metal act Vicious Rumors says: The older we get, the more wicked Vicious Rumors sound. Weve definitely not slowed down quite the opposite have even more drive. Our fans wont see a single Vicious Rumors show where we dont go to our limits and beyond. Anybody who has been to one of the groups gigs during the past two years knows just what he means. Thorpes comment not only describes his bands concerts, but also without reservation Vicious Rumours latest album Razorback Killers, due out on SPV on 28 March 2011 (Germany: 25 March 2011, US: t.b.a.) and featuring ten breathtaking new songs which transport the traditional Vicious Rumors sound perfectly into the present. To cut a long story short: this band has never sounded more dynamic than on Razorback Killers. The reasons for Vicious Rumors high-powered performance? Thorpe has a plausible explanation: The metal is in our blood!!!! Plus we always have an awesome line-up. Larry Howe on drums and vocals, our bassist Stephen Goodwin and guitarist Kiyoshi Morgan, and in Brian Allen weve found the best vocalist you could possibly get for these kind of songs. Brian Allen joined the Vicious Rumors fold one and a half years ago at the recommendation of Matt McCourt (Wild Dogs), a long time friend who Thorpe met up with at the Headbangers Open Air. Matt had praised Brian, and I thought that hed be perfect for Vicious Rumors.His assessment soon proved true: from the beginning, Allen showed his great potential during intense rehearsals. We immediately noticed this raw, pure quality in him. Like a snowball, something very big developed very quickly out of small beginnings. During our five-week European tour, Brian got nothing but positive reactions from our fans.
