Andrew Freeman as vocal, Vivian ║ │ │║ Campbell as guitar player and Vinny Appice as ║ │ │║ drummer. However, the bass is played by Phill ║ │ │║ Soussan after Jimmy Bain's death. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ------------------------------------------------ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Last In Line was formed in 2011, when Vinny ║ │ │║ Appice, Jimmy Bain, and Vivian Campbell, (Ronnie ║ │ │║ James DioÆs co-conspirators and co-writers on ║ │ │║ the ôHoly Diverö, ôLast In Lineö û the album ║ │ │║ from which they took their name, and ôSacred ║ │ │║ Heartö albums) teamed up with esteemed vocalist ║ │ │║ Andrew Freeman. The debut album ôHeavy Crownö ║ │ │║ was released in February 2016, landing at #1 on ║ │ │║ the Billboard Heat-Seekers Chart. Initially, the ║ │ │║ release had been preceded by tragedy when ║ │ │║ bassist Jimmy Bain unexpectedly passed away at ║ │ │║ the age of 68 on January 23, 2016. Last In ║ │ │║ Line, honoring what they knew would be BainÆs ║ │ │║ wish to keep the band moving, brought in ║ │ │║ renowned bassist Phil Soussan (ex-Ozzy Osbourne) ║ │ │║ and committed to sustained touring in support of ║ │ │║ the album, hitting festivals, headlining clubs, ║ │ │║ and sharing the stage with metal luminaries such ║ │ │║ as Saxon and Megadeth. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In late 2017, the band gathered in L.A. to start ║ │ │║ the recording of the second album, which was ║ │ │║ produced by the band members and Jeff Pilson ║ │ │║ (Foreigner, The End: machine, ex-Dokken), who ║ │ │║ also produced the debut album. Having really ║ │ │║ gelled as a band while touring in support of the ║ │ │║ debut album, the songwriting came readily to the ║ │ │║ members. TheyÆve created a record that shows a ║ │ │║ big progression in sound, while immediately ║ │ │║ being recognizable as Last In Line thanks to ║ │ │║ Vinny AppiceÆs rhythms, thunderous bass from ║ │ │║ Soussan, amazing vocals from Andrew Freeman, and ║ │ │║ the roaring guitars of Vivian Campbell. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôThe musical style of æIIÆ is different from ║ │ │║ æHeavy CrownÆ, but it wasnÆt something that we ║ │ │║ planned to do,ö explains Vivian Campbell. ôPhil ║ │ │║ is a more intricate player than Jimmy was and ║ │ │║ that, together with the natural growth and ║ │ │║ development of the band led us to the songs on ║ │ │║ the album. As always, we simply started to jam ║ │ │║ on ideas and see where they led us. But itÆs ║ │ │║ fair to say that the songs on this album sound ║ │ │║ more developed, with more parts and more ║ │ │║ experimentation than the songs on æHeavy CrownÆ. ║ │ │║ The first album set a tone, but on æIIÆ we ║ │ │║ developed that idea and took it to the next ║ │ │║ logical stage.ö ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Drummer Vinny Appice, on the sound of the new ║ │ │║ record and song writing process, says ôI always ║ │ │║ sound like me. Viv and I have been playing ║ │ │║ together for years and have the same feel and ║ │ │║ pulse and attitude. Now with Phil on bass, he ║ │ │║ allows a more melodic approach on the bass parts ║ │ │║ making the songs even more interesting. He fits ║ │ │║ in perfectly being from the same musical family ║ │ │║ and time as me and Viv. Mr. Freeman sings from ║ │ │║ his soul and completes the bandÆs sound with his ║ │ │║ melodies and amazing range.ö ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ He continues, ôthe songwriting process was the ║ │ │║ same as DIOÆs æHoly DiverÆ. First, we have fun ║ │ │║ writing together. We get in a room and jam on ║ │ │║ riffs and chords until we hit on something good, ║ │ │║ then continue to build it into a song. Andy puts ║ │ │║ his magic on it and it all works out very well.ö ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Asked about first single æLandslideÆ, Vocalist ║ │ │║ Andrew Freeman says, ôÆLandslideÆ was the first ║ │ │║ song we wrote for this record. It was really ║ │ │║ easy to write as all of the parts fell into ║ │ │║ place quickly. The title æLandslideÆ is a ║ │ │║ metaphor relating to the day to day struggles ║ │ │║ that we all go through as people. Trying to keep ║ │ │║ on course when dealing with adversity, ║ │ │║ manipulation through media and leadership. ItÆs ║ │ │║ meant to inspire strength and resolve. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Phil Soussan says about how it was joining Last ║ │ │║ In Line and the development of the songs, ô[i]t ║ │ │║ was refreshing to be able to write songs in such ║ │ │║ an organic fashion û by jamming and developing ║ │ │║ ideas as a group, without bringing in ║ │ │║ preconceived songs û something I havenÆt done ║ │ │║ for ages. The result was a true collaboration, a ║ │ │║ concept that is so rare these days! Vinny has a ║ │ │║ unique style of drumming that, beyond keeping ║ │ │║ beats, inspires riffs and arrangements and ║ │ │║ Vivian has a way of playing that has a ║ │ │║ conviction to every note. He is able to turn ║ │ │║ every riff into a signature. Andrew was creative ║ │ │║ and unrestricted, focusing his contemporary ║ │ │║ influences into vocal stylings and hooks that ║ │ │║ are outside the classic rock clichΘs. He is very ║ │ │║ much a perfectionist. Beyond trying to remain ║ │ │║ true to JimmyÆs playing and to the heritage of ║ │ │║ the relationship between Viv and Vinny, everyone ║ │ │║ was completely open to exploring any possible ║ │ │║ idea. I am honestly prouder of our efforts on ║ │ │║ this album than anything in which I have been ║ │ │║ involved in for a very long time. With æIIÆ I ║ │ │║ would like to think that we have stretched out ║ │ │║ from æHeavy CrownÆ to test some uncharted ║ │ │║ watersà. the evolution of Last in Line!ö ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Intro [01:04] │ │ 02 - Black Out The Sun [03:55] │ │ 03 - Landslide [04:57] │ │ 04 - Gods And Tyrants [04:58] │ │ 05 - Year Of The Gun [03:39] │ │ 06 - Give Up The Ghost [04:46] │ │ 07 - The Unknown [04:40] │ │ 08 - Sword From The Stone [06:14] │ │ 09 - Electrified [03:42] │ │ 10 - Love And War [05:08] │ │ 11 - False Flag [04:14] │ │ 12 - The Light [05:16] │ │ 13 - Landslide (Acoustic) [04:17] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [56:50 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
