Vicious Rumors - New Lineup Announced


Heavy metallers Vicious Rumors have started a new chapter and welcomed new band members Nick Holleman on lead vocals, Tilen Hudrap on bass and Bob Capka back on guitar. Original members guitar player Geoff Thorpe and drummer Larry Howe are proud to officially announce that this new line-up has already recorded a new live album, Live You To Death 2: The American Punishment, which SPV/Steamhammer will release in early 2014.

Nick, a native of Holland, has a powerful melodic voice with great range and tone. A natural talent with high octane stage presence and endless sustain. Vicious Rumors fans old and new were stunned by his performance on the last tour in the USA. Nick was hired on the spot after band leader Geoff Thorpe saw a video on YouTube. He says: "I just imagined him singing our songs and it works perfectly. Once we met and the chemistry was right I realized I found the right guy for the job!"

Tilen is a native of Slovenia. After a series of auditions, Tilen was hired last summer to fill in on tour. The band liked his aggressive playing and monster stage presence so much that he was invited to join the band as a full time member after his first show at Bang Your Head festival in July. Tilen already played two world tours with the band (Europe and USA, 50 shows) and appears in the newest video for the title track off the current album Electric Punishment.

Vicious Rumors also welcomes back Bob Capka, who played on the Electric Punishment CD and has been on three tours in Europe and the USA. Bob brings shredding solos and riffs as well as a hunter's killer attitude to the stage show.

Live You To Death 2: The American Punishment has captured "Towns On Fire", "Worlds And Machines", "Mastermind", "World Church", "You Only Live Twice", to name a few. Thirteen tracks in total. The album was recorded during the American Punishment Tour in the US in September/October 2013.

Vicious Rumors will play the 70000 Tons Of Metal festival cruise this year from January 27th - January 31st on the legendary Majesty of the Seas, cruising on the Caribbean sea, playing the whole landmark album Digital Dictator in its entirety for the first time ever.
