| Heavy Metal Greats The Rods To Play Download Festival & Announce Brand New Album ‘Vengance’ |
|
The Rods were one of America’s unsung blue-collar heavy metal bands of the 80s, sometimes even compared to Motörhead because of their veteran three-piece lineup, their almost punk-simple image and because of their brash and extremely loud music. The trio has
signed on with the Niji Entertainment Group, a label that was created by
Ronnie James Dio and his wife/manager, Wendy Dio. The band’s seventh
release overall is titled ‘Vengeance’, and will be released on June 13,
2011. The release comes hot on the heels of Feinstein’s
recently-released solo album, ‘Bitten by the Beast.’
A very important
song on ‘Vengeance’ will be “The Code,” which features vocals from none
other than Ronnie James Dio (one of the very last songs that Ronnie ever
recorded, before his untimely death in May of 2010).
To support their
new album and also let the fans know they are still hot, The Rods are
touring Europe during the summer including what is sure to be a kick-ass
performance at this year’s Download Festival.
‘Vengeance’ Track Listing:
1. Raise Some Hell
2. I Just Wanna Rock
3. Rebels Highway
4. Ride Free Or Die
5. The Code ( featuring RJD)
6. Livin’ Outside The Law
7. Let It Ripp
8. Fight Fire With Fire
9. Madmen
10. Runnin Wild
11. Vengeance
