Former WHITE WIZZARD Guitarist Will Wallner Announces New WALLNER/VAIN Album
February 11, 2014, 10 years ago
British blues-rock guitarist and Guitar World columnist Will Wallner and Croatian singer Vivien Vain have completed work on a new album titled The Battle of Clyst Heath set for release in May.
Since his departure from traditional metal band WHITE WIZZARD (Earache/Century Media) in October 2013 Will Wallner has been working on new music with former White Wizzard drummer Giovanni Durst for what would become the new WALLNER/VAIN album. Swedish bass player Bjorn Englen (DIO DISCIPLES / YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) also contributed bass to several tracks. The title track from the album can be heard below. Will Wallner comments:
"When I left White Wizzard it was assumed it was because of the difficulties we encountered on our 2013 European tour. In actual fact I was going to leave the band regardless to pursue making music I could be proud of artistically. For that reason I'm very excited about the new album me and Vivien have just finished. I set out to make an honest hard rock record which would express who I am as a musician and guitar player. I feel very fortunate to be able to have such talented musicians record alongside myself and Vivien. Every musician performs superbly without the need for auto-tune or 'chop and paste'. Here's a taste of what you can expect from our new album."The Battle Of Clyst Heath was recorded in 2013 in Los Angeles, CA and Poland. The music draws heavily from British hard rock influences such as RAINBOW, THIN LIZZY and DEEP PURPLE. The majority of the album features a single line-up but once again features several legendary guest musicians. Full details will be announced shortly.
