British blues-rock guitarist and 'Guitar World' columnist Will Wallner and Croatian singer Vivien Vain have released their brand new album titled 'The Battle of Clyst Heath'. Recorded in 2014, the album draws heavily from British hard rock influences such as Rainbow, Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple. Guitarist Will Wallner and vocalist Vivien Vain handle all the guitars and vocals respectively with former White Wizzard drummer Giovanni Durst and current DIO Disciples bassist Bjorn Englen providing the rhythm section to the majority of the songs. The album opens with a unique guitar rendition of the theme track to cult science fiction film 'Blade Runner' originally by Greek composer Vangelis. The songs which follow are inspired by events in British history during 'The Wars of the Roses'. Below you can hear two new songs from the album. 'The Wars Of The Roses' and 'Black Moon' which features Carmine Appice and Tony Franklin, the original rhythm section to the power trio 'Blue Murder'. The album closes with a special tribute to guitarist Gary Moore featuring Gary's former bandmates Don Airey and Neil Murray alongside drummer Vinny Appice. Their cover of 'The Loner' draws heavily from live bootlegs and is a more traditional blues rendition of the original. |
