Vandenberg has shared the official music video for the song “Hit The Ground Running”. The track is taken from the band’s latest studio album, “Sin”, which came out last August via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group.
Every album paints a picture. Instead of utilizing a brush and canvas, Vandenberg paints with towering vocals, earthquaking rhythms, and the iconic and instantly recognizable fretwork of guitarist and namesake Adrian Vandenberg. Joined by vocalist Mats Levén, drummer Koen Herfst, and bassist Randy Van Der Elsen, the influential axe-slinger delivers a vibrant, visceral, and vital vision on the group’s fifth full-length offering, “Sin”, brought to life in broad strokes of anthemic hard rock and airtight metal and produced by Bob Marlette.
“For me, music is very much like a painting,” affirms Adrian. “You have your ups, downs, lights, and shades. One song might make you want to jump on the table and party your brains out. Another song will inspire you to think. Either way, you’re thrown into a landscape, which my favorite albums still do to me. You could be in your car or at home with your headphones plugged into a sound system, and you’re in a different world.”
Vandenberg has not toured North America for an extensive run of appearances since 1986. For the first time in decades, Adrian along with the new line-up of Vandenberg, will stage 20 shows in early 2024. All events from February 23 in Ft. Lauderdale through March 16 in San Antonio are co-headline events with Geoff Tate.
Vandenberg shares, “Finally following up on the historic quote ‘Go West, Young Man!’ ‘Young men’ in this case, because I’m bringing my übertalented kick-ass band with me to the U.S. of course. And it’s about freakin’ time guys. My first American tour since the Whitesnake 1990 tour, this is seriously exciting!! Some classic Vandenberg songs and an XXXL order of songs from my Whitesnake years will get torpedo’d upon our American friends with a BANG. Can’t wait to see y’all! BIG ROCK coming your way!!”
