Adrian Vandenberg is finally back with a new band, Vandenberg's MoonKings.
The announcement of Adrian Vandenberg's new project created a real buzz in the heavy metal world. Indeed, the Dutch guitarist had completely disappeared from the scene for 15 years following a recurring hand problem... his last studio album was in 1998 with Whitesnake.
Adrian has kept his aura intact, having formed Vandenberg before joining David Coverdale in Whitesnake during their heyday, and then forming Manic Eden. When Adrian Vandenberg made this album, his primary motivation was to make the music he truly loves, without any commercial considerations or special requests from record labels, a true, uncompromising rock & roll album! And with his new band the Moonkings, he succeeded with catchy choruses and some beautiful ballads, for which he is renowned. Worth noting at the end of the album is a cover of Whitesnake's "Sailing Ships" with David Coverdale on vocals!
