Vicious Rumors - 'Celebration Decay' (official album stream)

Φέρει τον τίτλο "Celebration Decay", κυκλοφόρησε προ τετραετίας και αποτελεί το πλέον πρόσφατο full length album των Vicious Rumors. Πρόκειται για τον 13ο "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο των Αμερικανών metallers, οι οποίοι υπάρχουν στο heavy metal σύμπαν από το μακρινό 1979 και συνεχίζουν ακάθεκτοι μέχρι και τις ημέρες μας. Από την αρχική σύνθεση της μπάντας έχει (απο)μείνει μόνο ο κιθαρίστας Geoff Thorpe. "Παλαιός" θεωρείται και ο drummer Larry Howe, ο οποίος βρίσκεται στους Vicious Rumors από το 1985...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Every new album has its own history. This one has a particularly poignant one: Only 20 concerts were planned, which Vicious Rumors wanted to play on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of their 1988 classic "Digital Dictator".

"The response was so huge that the 20 shows ended up becoming a staggering 108 gigs", says band leader Geoff Thorpe. "We didn't expect that. And of course it messed up the original schedule for our current album a bit."

Thorpe speaks of "Celebration Decay", his band's new masterpiece. It's release date had to endure a small delay due to the extended anniversary tour, but in the end, hardly any other Vicious Rumors album has benefited so much from a previous concert tour.

Because, according to Thorpe: "On the one hand, we had the chance to bring the entire new Vicious Rumors studio cast on an extensive tour, which is why "Celebration Decay" sounds as dynamic and lively as all the works of our long career.

On the other hand, we came through the "Digital Dictator" Concerts always in direct contact with the early influences of the band. Both factors together now form an album that sounds typical of Vicious Rumors and at the same time is full of energy and dynamics. I have to say that I could hardly be more proud!"»
