Vicious Rumors' current lineup includes: James Rivera (vocals), Geoff Thorpe (guitar), Brad Gillis (guitar), Dave Starr (bass) and Larry Howe (drums, vocals).
Warball is the band's ninth studio album and twelfth official release. Produced by Geoff Thorpe and Juan J. Orteaga. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Juan J. Orteaga at Trident Studios in Pacheco, CA.
This is the first Vicious Rumors album with Geoff Thorpe doing all rhythm and acoustic guitars and most of the solos. "In the past I've always split the guitar duties up with our other guitarist. As I re-built the band, I decided to knock it out myself. I always planned to have some special guests on the record, and it turned out great".
For the Warball CD Geoff Thorpe reunites with original members Larry Howe and Dave Starr. "It felt great to have the original nucleus together again," Geoff said. " Larry and Dave are a tight knit veteran rhythm section that really stepped up on this new CD. The years of working together definately helped create the Metal Mayhem of Warball."
Also joining Vicious Rumors is vocal legend James Rivera. James brings a true Metal Spirit and sonic bombardment to the V.R. music. James shows off a wide range of vocal styles on Warball that metal fans worldwide will soon be witness to.
Brad Gillis also makes a very special-guest appearance on five songs blowing some crazy guitar solos and harmony solos with Geoff. Brad's legendary performance taking over for the late Randy Rhoads in Ozzy's band can not be forgotten. Multi-platinum success with Night Ranger would follow. And now Brad returns to Metal in 2006 in Vicious Rumors with Warball.
Thaen Rasmussen also plays guitar on three songs on Warball and has already been on tour with VR. Thaen hails from the S.F. Bay Area band Anvil Chorus. Thaen's monster guitar playing fits perfect on Warball. You will also see Thaen on tour with the band. Vicious Rumors will be on tour with new labelmates Agent Steel in March, 2007. |
