September 8th sees the release of a unique album following less than 1 year from the successful "Between Dog and Wolf" album which received outstanding critical acclaim and saw the band chart top 30 in UK and Germany, giving them most successful album in 20 years. It was again mixed in Los Angeles by Joe Barresi , best known for his work with Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden,Tool and Hole.
The new album is a hybrid, part studio part live. The 6 new songs include the single "Sunrise" and is a natural development of the musical ambition of the last album. The 11 live songs are taken from the 2013' Between Dog and Wolf" European tour. It features stunning new artwork from their longtime artistic collaborator Joolz.
The band's early 2014 was disrupted by longtime drummer, co-writer and co producer Michael Dean's health issues following his routine knee operation in January but the band returned to live duty with a stunning performance at Sonisphere at Knebworth House this summer. The band's postponed Spring between Dog and Wolf part 2 European tour takes place this Autumn. UK audiences have a special treat in store with the forthcoming "Between Wine and Blood" shows. This promises an evening of 2 parts. The first set is the band playing from their many rock songs, including the "Vengeance album which celebrates it's 30th anniversary this year. The second set will see the band joined by special guests and play many of their more musically ambitious numbers with arrangements not usually attempted outside a studio setting.
