Cruz Del Sur Music Signs FREEDOM'S REIGN Featuring Ex-FATES WARNING Guitarist/Vocalist Victor Arduini Cruz Del Sur Music has signed a deal with
FATES WARNING's original
guitarist and founding member Victor Arduini for the release of
Arduini's new band
FREEDOM'S REIGN.
Freedom's Reign marks Arduini's comeback to the metal world since he
left Fates Warning after the release of The Spectre Within in 1985.
Keeping his original, charismatic and unmistakable guitar-style
untouched, Arduini returns under the spotlights with fresh enthusiasm
and dedication, producing a notable effort of true American-styled heavy
metal with a classic OZZY/SABBATH flavor.Freedom's Reign was
introduced to
Cruz Del Sur by long-time friend and "occasional A&R"
Tom Phillips (WHILE HEAVEN WEPT) who said about F.R.'s music:
"I think Freedom's Reign would be a welcome addition for anyone into
classic heavy rock, early Fates fans, those into both the recent
proto-metal movement, and the wave of classic metal bands that evolved
on the outer fringes of the doom scene!"
Besides Arduini (guitar/vocals), Freedom's Reign also consists of:
Tommy Vumback (guitars),
Michael Jones (bass) and
Chris Judge (drums).
The release of
Freedom's Reign' self-titled debut is set for April
30th to celebrate the Walpurgis Night that originally influenced Fates
Warning to release their Night On Bröcken debut exactly 29 years ago.
