Heaven & Earth - "Drive" (video)
Ο κιθαρίστας Stuart Smith δραστηριοποιείται από την δεκαετία του εβδομήντα. Υπήρξε κάποια εποχή (στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα) "προστατευόμενος" του Ritchie Blackmore, ενώ έχει συνεργασθεί με μουσικούς όπως ο Keith Emerson, ο Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, ο Richie Sambora, ο Kelly Keeling, ο Camine Appice κλπ.
Το 1999 κυκλοφόρησε τον δίσκο "Stuart Smith’s Heaven & Earth" και κάπως έτσι γεννήθηκε η ιδέα των Heaven & Earth, η οποία υλοποιήθηκε με το album "Windows to the World". Στα μέσα του επόμενου μήνα θα κυκλοφορήσει ο πέμπτος δίσκος της μπάντας υπό τον χαρακτηριστικό τίτλο "V"...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Heaven and Earth Band, who released their debut album in 2000, will return on July 16, 2021 with their fifth studio album, the aptly titled "V".
Heaven & Earth's line-up now includes Gianluca Petralia (vocals), Stuart Smith (guitars), Lynn Sorensen (bass), George Barabas (Hammond organ and keyboard), and Simon Wright (drums, percussion). They have become an international band with an Italian singer, a Hungary-based keyboardist, and two British transplants living in the U.S. amongst their ranks.
These five incredible rock musicians have banded together to record this magnificent new album, “V”. "Personally, I feel that this is our best album yet. It has a much harder edge than the previous albums. The chemistry between the new musicians was amazing," says guitarist Stuart Smith.
"It’s been an incredible five-month ride made of impulsive writing and recording with outstanding musicians I’m now honored to call friends. From the very beginning, it felt like this album was already there. It just needed to be delivered…it was like a scream to exorcise the bleak reality we’re living right now,” says vocalist Gianluca Petralia.
"I've been a big fan of Heaven & Earth since their first album so when Stuart asked me to join the band it was like something any fan or musician could dream of. I enjoyed the whole recording process and we had lay down some serious hard rock songs for this new record," adds keyboardist George Barabas.
"Heaven & Earth 'V' is rock before it became polished like jewelry. It's attitude with dirt on its face. As two of our members were in different countries it was logistically challenging to record, but everyone rallied together like a great band should," says bassist Lynn Sorensen.
"I'm glad I had the opportunity to play on this Heaven and Earth album. Incredible musicians and some classy songwriting," says drummer Simon Wright. "V" is an absolute must hear for all lovers of Rainbow, early Whitesnake, and Bad Company and that general era of amazing hard rock.»
