Bio:

Vengeance is a metal band from the Netherlands formed in 1983. Arjen Anthony Lucassen, the head of Ayreon and other progressive metal projects, played in the band from its formation until 1992, when he left to pursue a solo career.Their guitarist, Jan Somers, who was born on 28 December 1964, died on 28 January 2011 in Mierlo, Netherlands, from a heart attack. He was 46 years old.Brimming with confidence and justifiable pride 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 this date,” declares guitarist Timo Somers, “the 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.”It’s a full thirty years ago that Leon Goewie founded the Dutch rock band Vengeance in the early 1980s; thirty years in which the band went through variably successful times and which had Goewie himself experience the usual highs and lows of life as a musician. Yet: he never lost his inherent optimism nor his basic enthusiasm for Vengeance.At the same time Goewie, whose uniquely expressive voice can be picked out among thousands, cannot deny that his band has developed: “After thirty years in this business, you should mature at least a little,” he grins knowingly, “so in that respect PIECE OF CAKE is slightly more serious than most of our previous releases – but of course only to an extent where we don’t miss out on the fun of it all.” The new album will be out on 28 October2013 on Steamhammer/SPV.Goewie talks about a recording which, in his opinion, is the most professional he’s ever cut with Vengeance.. No doubt about it: PIECE OF CAKE forges an arch between the group’s glorious past – documented by the return of the legendary band logo from the cult recordings We Have Ways To Make You Rock , Take It Or Leave It and Crystal Eye and their future-oriented present.The album’s sensational cast is just as spectacular as the new material: alongside original vocalist Leon Goewie, PIECE OF CAKE features drummer John Emmen (JEB), guitarist Timo Somers (Delain), and bassist Barend Courbois. “More than ever before, this is a band which consists of friends,” comments Goewie. And Vengeance are eager to rock their audience as soon as possible: an extensive tour has been scheduled for spring 2014, only a few weeks after the release of their album. Goewie: “We can hardly wait to play numbers from PIECE OF CAKE live at last, along with our classics. I promise that we will pull out all the stops 100% every night!
