Mixing is underway for the new solo album, Vital Designs, from TNT vocalist TONY MILLS.

Co-written with UK guitarist Neil Hibbs (pictured with Tony) from Salisbury, UK and Eric Ragno from Los Angeles.

The album was constructed between October '06 and February '07 and is currently being finished by MAGNUM engineer Mark Stuart at M2 Studios in Wolverhampton, England.

Neil was discovered when he was drafted in to support a TV network producing programmes for Ronni Le Tekro and his outstanding guitar ability.

Drums were played by Bob Richards from SHY, keys by Eric Ragno, Joe Basketts and Dag Stokke and bass guitar by Morty Black and Oddvar Krogstad. The album was engineered by Alex Cooper at Madhouse Studios in Birmingham. The album is a guitar based, melodic, hard rock album with a sinister thread throughout the song spectrum.

Track listing: 'A Vital Design', 'Give Me A Reason', 'A Conspiracy', 'Say It One More Time', 'Exclusion Zone', 'Miles From Nowhere', 'Neurotic', 'Action', 'Tears In Lisbon', 'Naked And The Dead', 'In For The Kill', 'God Called My Name', 'Sunniva', 'Glory Days'.

Vital Designs will be released through Artist Interaction Music, a custom built company, and will be available during April.

A promo tour for the album will also take place in Norway in April '08 along with other marketing to support the release. The lineup for the performances will be a combination of the recording artistes with appearances from Erik Engerbretsen on drums (Norway) and backing vocals will be performed by Lise Wolden (Norway) and David Saylor (UK).
