It’s been five years since US power metal act Vicious Rumors unleashed their most recent 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 VR 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 are now literally about to culminate on their upcoming album ‘The Devil’s Asylum’, which Geoff Thorpe aptly summarises, saying: “‘The Devil’s Asylum’ sees us return to our roots, which we’ve combined with contemporary influences.”
