VENGEANCE - New Album
Piece Of Cake To Be Released In October; Details Revealed
Dutch rock band
VENGEANCE have announced the release of their latest album
Piece Of Cake: "People can expect what to my ears is the best Vengeance album to date,” declares guitarist
Timo Somers. "Tthe songs are a nice blend of old school
Vengeance (think Arabia) and some more modern sounding songs. This time the instrumental side of the band is really outspoken, it features a lot of nice intros, solos and instrumental pieces. And to top it off, Leon sounds better than ever."
Somers promises eleven gripping new compositions: "'Raintime' is the fastest song on the album. The song kind of sounds like an
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN song with Leon on vocals. Double bass, big chorus and a fast guitar solo are the keywords."
The most typical song is the title track
'Piece Of Cake'. Somers comments: "We needed a party song for the album and we wrote this together in about an hour in the studio. It`s this typical AC/DC thing with Leon going nuts and some
VAN HALEN like guitars."
The most unusual song is '
Back To Square One', a blues rock ballad in the vein of
GARY MOORE. "I don’t think a lot of people know this side of Vengeance,” Somers suggests, “but it showcases our more soulful side."
Piece Of Cake will be released on October 28th in Germany and November 5th in North America via SPV. They will hit the road in Europe with labelmates
MAD MAX in November. Dates are as follows:
