Exploding out of The Netherlands and onto the global scene with 1982’s self-titled Vandenberg, the Dutch phenomenon notched an international hit in the form of “Burning Heart,” paving the way for seminal releases such as Heading For A Storm[1983] and Alibi [1985]. The band canvased the United States, Europe, and Japan alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Rush, Scorpions, Michael Schenker, and many others. Sought out to join Whitesnake, Adrian famously ripped the legendary lead on the 1987 recording of the #1 smash “Here I Go Again,” which adorned the 8x-platinum Whitesnake and ended up touring the world’s largest arenas for a year-and-a-half when the 1987 album went through the roof in terms of sales. He co-wrote the entirety of 1989’s platinum Slip of the Tongue and spent the ensuing tour sharing axe duties with none other than Steve Vai. In addition to playing guitar on and cowriting Restless Heart from David Coverdale & Whitesnake, he performed hundreds of shows as part of the band for some twelve years. Speaking to the breadth of his output, he notably penned and recorded “A Number One” as the theme for his hometown Dutch football team FC Twente. 2013 saw him launch the acclaimed Vandenberg’s MoonKings, releasing MoonKings [2014], MK II [2017], and Rugged and Unplugged [2018].
Vandenberg as a band roared back to life with the comeback LP, 2020. Among many highlights,
“Freight Train” gathered 1.6 million Spotify streams, while the record
attracted praise. In its wake, Vandenberg welcomed Mats [Trans-Siberian
Orchestra, Yngwie Malmsteen] to the fold.
“He’s an amazing singer,” notes Adrian. “I’d heard him online, and we got in
touch. It’s funny because his mom brought the first two Vandenberg records back
to Scandinavia from England when he was in his early twenties—and he was a fan.
He’s a workaholic like me. We picked up after COVID and put the new album
together. The spark is definitely there. On top of that, Koen and Randy lay
down the most solid concrete, grooving foundation that I could ever wish for.
I’d say it’s one notch heavier than 2020,”
he smiles.
Recorded in Holland and Los Angeles with Marlette, SIN represents a natural
evolution for Vandenberg. Scorching pinch harmonics light up the first single
“House On Fire” as the groove underlines a chantable chorus from
Mats. “In one way, it’s a party song, because it keeps you tapping
your foot,” Adrian exclaims. “Mats added a different darker twist with his
lyrics. It also envisions a person who’s frustrated about the things other
people have. This person can’t control their anger and sets the place on fire.”
The complete track listing features, “Thunder And Lightning,” “House On Fire,”
“Sin,” “Light It Up,” “Walking On Water,” “Burning Skies,” “Hit The Ground
Running,” “Baby You’ve Changed,” and “Out Of The Shadows.” Available formats
include Green LP, CD and Digital
