Bio:
Vicious Rumors is an American power metal band founded in 1979 in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The brainchild of Geoff Thorpe, the band has been active on the metal scene since its inception in 1979. Vicious Rumors is recognized for their guitar works and harmonies, as well as the variety of their music.Band leader Thorpe is also known for recording with the American rock & roll band 7th Order, alongside veteran British session guitarist Martin Pugh (of Steamhammer, the 1st Rod Stewart solo album and Armageddon[1]) and drummer Tim Kelliher (of Randy Hansen's Machine Gun[2]) on their debut CD, The Lake of Memory - released in 2007.After a period of relative stability, in 2013 the band still faced more line-up changes around classic members Thorpe and Howe: in the first leg of Electric Punishment European tour Brian Allen was temporary replaced by James Rivera due to serious family matters. In the second leg of European gigs and in the US tour, Slovenian multi-instrumentalist Tilen Hudrap (Thraw, Keller, Wartune) stepped in for Stephen Goodwin on bass and took over the bass duties permanently. Also Thaen Rasmussen left his spot later in the year, with Bob Capka rejoining VR ranks on guitar. During the American tour, surprisingly, young Dutch singer Nick Holleman (Powerized, Methusalem) took care of vocal duties, with Allen stating he and VR parted ways.Entering in the line-up alongside Thorpe, Howe and Capka, Hudrap and later Holleman became the first European official members in Vicious Rumors history, bringing fresh blood to the band before a very intense 2014 which carries VR in no less than three continents: first, Vicious Rumors will co-headline "70,000 Tones of Metal" cruise - where they will play the legendary "Digital Dictator" album in its entirety for the first time in the history of the band - and then, not only many European summer festival gigs but also the long awaited South American and Australia/New Zealand/Japan tours. The band will release a new live album, entitled"Live You To Death 2: American Punishment" in June 2014 (which marks the first official release by the new line-up, consisting of Thorpe, Howe, Hudrap, Capka and Holleman), achieving the goal of four album in four years.
Album:
It’s been five years since U.S. veteran band VICIOUS RUMORS unleashed their last album. Five years during which band mastermind Geoff Thorpe and his crew played well over one hundred and fifty shows, presenting their longstanding career in condensed form and performing a playlist featuring their most important VICIOUS RUMORS classics.These shows have left their mark on the band members while at the same time releasing a burst of new energy. Both these factors clearly influenced on their upcoming new album ‘‘The Devil’s Asylum”, which Thorpe aptly summarises, saying: “‘The Devil’s Asylum’ sees us return to our roots, which we’ve combined with contemporary influences.”Indeed, ”The Devil’s Asylum” brings back the Eighties VICIOUS RUMORS we love updated with a modern sound and current production design, showcasing how relevant the band still is, and how innovative was decades ago.
