Nothing would be easier for British rock legends\u00a0UFO<\/strong>\u00a0than to rest on their laurels. The band could easily release the occasional best-of album to earn a few additional royalties and be content with looking back at their exceptionally glorious past. And it certainly wouldn’t be a problem for UFO to sell out tours on the strength of their legendary name. But idleness or indeed a musical standstill have always been out of the question for\u00a0Phil Mogg, Paul Raymond, Andy Parker<\/strong>, and\u00a0Vinnie Moore<\/strong>. These in equal measures experienced and ambitious musicians are interested in the present, their love of creativity and the active continuation of their celebrated band history. And now we can look forward to\u00a0Seven Deadly<\/em><\/strong>, the band’s latest studio album which combines present and future with\u00a0UFO<\/strong>‘s greatest fortes. Mogg, Raymond, Parker and Moore are set to release\u00a010 brand-new songs on\u00a0SPV\/Steamhammer February 28th<\/sup>\u00a0in North America.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n The album will be released as a limited edition digipak (incl. 2 bonus tracks), a Double Gatefold LP with printed innersleeves and coloured vinyl, standard edition and download.<\/p>\n What is this bold thesis based on – in view of the countless classics the band has produced throughout its history? Not only on the fact that\u00a0UFO<\/strong>\u00a0have that perfect mix of talent, charisma and experience, but also on each individual band member, who currently all seem to be bursting with a zest for action and a wealth of ideas.\u00a0Seven Deadly<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is an atmospherically dense fabric consisting of classy guitars, tight rock grooves and vocals which are unique to\u00a0UFO<\/strong>. So it’s no wonder that sound engineer\u00a0Tommy Newton<\/strong>, in whose\u00a0Area 51 studio<\/strong>\u00a0in Celle, Germany, the new tracks were recorded, commented: “I’ve never heard a better Phil Mogg<\/em>!”<\/p>\n The\u00a0UFO<\/strong>\u00a0frontman’s thoroughly impressive vocal performance goes hand in hand with the awesome compositions on\u00a0Seven Deadly<\/em><\/strong>. The classic rock of ‘Burn Your House Down’<\/strong>features all the important\u00a0UFO<\/strong>\u00a0strengths, ‘Going Down To Mojotown’<\/strong>\u00a0sees the musicians sound tougher than ever, and last but not least\u00a0‘Wonderland’<\/strong>\u00a0features a pointed reference toUFO<\/strong>‘s early days. ‘Angel Station<\/strong>‘ sees the band prove how classic rock music is complemented perfectly with epic elements, while\u00a0‘Fight Night’<\/strong>\u00a0is an excellent track to be performed in a live context. There’s no need to draw attention to the technical skills of original\u00a0UFO<\/strong>\u00a0members Paul Raymond and Andy Parker, their music sounding inspired and faultless at the same time. Having said that, Vinnie Moore’s exceptional guitar style deserves to be explicitly mentioned as well. The American musician not only lends the songs expression and power with his haunting licks and dynamic riffs, but also contributes solos on\u00a0Seven Deadly<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0which can only be described as absolute world class.<\/p>\n \u00a0As already mentioned,\u00a0UFO<\/strong>\u00a0continue to be a live force to be reckoned with. Their UK tour has been scheduled for March\/April 2012 before the band go on to tour the rest of Europe. A little note in passing: at the time of\u00a0Seven Deadly<\/strong><\/em>‘s<\/strong>\u00a0release,\u00a0UFO<\/strong>\u00a0will be performing at the Monsters Of Rock Cruise – The Voyage: there could hardly be a more fitting setting for this exciting new album!
