We told you about this in yesterday's digest but here is the over-the-top-adjective-filled announcement for those who want more details or others who are entertained by hype: Whitesnake, the legendary rock'n'roll legacy founded and formed by renowned singer/songwriter David Coverdale, unleashes a brand new storming 'Snake statement, "Forevermore" on Frontiers Records on March 25th in Europe and March 29th in North America.
Their 11th studio album, "Forevermore" was recorded, produced and mixed by Coverdale, guitarist Doug Aldrich and Michael McIntyre at Snakebyte Studios and Grumblenott Studios & Villas in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, with additional work at Casa Dala, Sherman Oaks, CA, and Whitesnake will take to the road for a full world tour in support of the release.
With "Forevermore" Coverdale has reignited an explosively fruitful vein of creativity with guitarist and co-writer/producer Aldrich, Reb Beach (Winger, Alice Cooper) on guitar, Brian Tichy (Ozzy, Billy Idol, Foreigner) on drums and Michael Devin (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Lynch Mob) on bass, and as with all Whitesnake's albums, Coverdale aided so capably by Aldrich opens up his heart and soul to express emotions and empathy rarely heard these days in any musical genre.
More than simply their latest release, "Forevermore" represents Whitesnake's no holds barred, most heartfelt, melodic and musically muscular excursion for many a year.
The album's release will be anticipated by the digital only release of the first single/video clip "Love Will Set You Free" on February 21st.
