Vicious Rumors - 'Bloodbath' (official music video)

Flash your teeth like wolverines
Living far beyond your means
Thousands lost on your careless act

Back stab, Skin Lab
Your on your way out
Fight song, rock on
That's what I'm all about

It didn't feel right
You riding on my coat
You missed the punchline man,
You became the joke

You're stinking up the place,
With that look on your face
Out of my way now
Better learn your place

I thought you had what it takes
To make the grade, you were to afraid
No chance to reclaim, the damage fades away
Just like the ones before, lost forevermore

Bloodbath

I see you've met your fate
Down here on the floor
Never met a bigger fool
You know who you are

Back Stab, Skin Lab
Till you wither away

Fight song, Rock on
Till my dying day

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία πενταετία για τους Vicious Rumors. Ο διάδοχος του δίσκου "Celebration Decay" (Αύγουστος 2020) και 14ο full length album των Αμερικανών metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "The Devil's Asylum" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του καλοκαιριού.

Νέα μέλη στην μπάντα ο drummer Chalice (δηλαδή ο Brian Betterton) και ο κιθαρίστας Denver Cooper, οι οποίοι εντάχθηκαν πέρυσι (2024). Οι Vicious Rumors υπάρχουν στο heavy metal σύμπαν από το μακρινό 1979 και συνεχίζουν ακάθεκτοι μέχρι και τις ημέρες μας.

Από την αρχική σύνθεση της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας έχει (απο)μείνει μόνο ο κιθαρίστας Geoff Thorpe. "Παλαιός" θεωρείται και ο drummer Larry Howe, ο οποίος βρίσκεται στους Vicious Rumors από το μακρινό 1985...

Δελτίο τύπου: «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.”

He continues: “Vicious Rumors look back at a career that spans 45 years, so there’s only one goal for us: Everything we do should always be significant, every show, every song, every new album. This band has always stood for maximum intensity, powerful music and lots of new, fresh ideas.”

In this respect, ‘The Devil’s Asylum’ couldn’t be more typical of Vicious Rumors and at the same time the album is bound to appeal to new fans.»
