Frontiers Records, bisher schon Label-Heimat vieler alter Heroen des Rock und Hardrock (Alan Parsons, Extreme, Tesla, Thunder, Crashdiet, John Waite...), hat nun auch Whitesnake im Stall, so dass tatsächlich in halbwegs absehbarer Zeit mit einem Nachfolger zu deren 2008er-Opus "Good To Be Bad" gerechnet werden kann.

Zitat von http://www.frontiers.it :

WHITESNAKE has already started composing new material that promises to deliver one of the finest chapters in WHITESNAKE'S career. “We are off to a very good start, with the new songs taking positive shape. It feels good, fresh & exciting,” explains Coverdale.

The next release already feels like a solid, natural progression to their last opus, the successful, critically acclaimed ‘Good To Be Bad’ album, awarded by the influential Classic Rock magazine as “Best Album of the Year” in 2008. “As always, we want to take it to the next level,” states’ Coverdale. “I feel that with the last album we achieved a strong WHITESNAKE ‘cocktail’ that comfortably embraced & mixed all the previous musical aspects & styles of the band’s history, while taking our identity a little further... all on one album..."

Born in 1977, WHITESNAKE have been among the most influential representatives of the their genre, having produced numerous rock music classics such as ‘Here I Go Again’, ‘Is This Love’, ‘Still Of The Night’, ‘Fool For Your Loving’, ‘Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City’ or ‘Walking In The Shadows Of The Blues’.

Coverdale said the production team for the new album will most likely be the infamous Brutal Brothers, or Los Bros Brutalos, who handled the recording of "Good To Be Bad”. “The new songs are in the very familiar and recognizable WHITESNAKE territory of soulful, bluesy, melodic power rock, with a couple of ballads thrown in for good measure... It can’t be a WHITESNAKE album without ballads, mate!”... More info on http://www.whitesnake.com

Na, ist doch erfreulich!

Allerdings, denn ein neues Label dürfte ein paar terminliche Vereinbarungen getroffen haben, so dass es hoffentlich nicht wieder Jahre dauert, bis man neue Songs zu Gehör bekommt...

Neuer Drummer bei WHITESNAKE ist BRIIAN TICHY (Foreigner, Billy Idol, Ozzy Osbourne, Lynch Mob, The Guess Who, Velvet Revolver, Seether, Zakk Wylde's Pride & Glory, Slash's Snakepit, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Glenn Hughes, Sass Jordan, Gilby Clarke, Stevie Salas, Vinnie Moore...)
