│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │

│║ members. Andrew Freeman as vocal, Vivian ║ │

│║ ║ │
│║ ------------------------------------------------ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Last In Line was formed in 2011, when Vinny ║ │
│║ Appice, Jimmy Bain, and Vivian Campbell, (Ronnie ║ │
│║ James DioÆs co-conspirators and co-writers on ║ │
│║ the ôHoly Diverö, ôLast In Lineö û the album ║ │
│║ from which they took their name, and ôSacred ║ │
│║ Heartö albums) teamed up with esteemed vocalist ║ │
│║ Andrew Freeman. The debut album ôHeavy Crownö ║ │
│║ was released in February 2016, landing at #1 on ║ │
│║ the Billboard Heat-Seekers Chart. Initially, the ║ │
│║ release had been preceded by tragedy when ║ │
│║ bassist Jimmy Bain unexpectedly passed away at ║ │
│║ the age of 68 on January 23, 2016. Last In ║ │
│║ Line, honoring what they knew would be BainÆs ║ │
│║ wish to keep the band moving, brought in ║ │
│║ renowned bassist Phil Soussan (ex-Ozzy Osbourne) ║ │
│║ and committed to sustained touring in support of ║ │
│║ the album, hitting festivals, headlining clubs, ║ │
│║ and sharing the stage with metal luminaries such ║ │
│║ as Saxon and Megadeth. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In late 2017, the band gathered in L.A. to start ║ │
│║ the recording of the second album, which was ║ │
│║ produced by the band members and Jeff Pilson ║ │
│║ (Foreigner, The End: machine, ex-Dokken), who ║ │
│║ also produced the debut album. Having really ║ │
│║ gelled as a band while touring in support of the ║ │
│║ debut album, the songwriting came readily to the ║ │
│║ members. TheyÆve created a record that shows a ║ │
│║ big progression in sound, while immediately ║ │
│║ being recognizable as Last In Line thanks to ║ │
│║ Vinny AppiceÆs rhythms, thunderous bass from ║ │
│║ Soussan, amazing vocals from Andrew Freeman, and ║ │
│║ the roaring guitars of Vivian Campbell. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôThe musical style of æIIÆ is different from ║ │
│║ æHeavy CrownÆ, but it wasnÆt something that we ║ │
│║ planned to do,ö explains Vivian Campbell. ôPhil ║ │
│║ is a more intricate player than Jimmy was and ║ │
│║ that, together with the natural growth and ║ │
│║ development of the band led us to the songs on ║ │
│║ the album. As always, we simply started to jam ║ │
│║ on ideas and see where they led us. But itÆs ║ │
│║ fair to say that the songs on this album sound ║ │
│║ more developed, with more parts and more ║ │
│║ experimentation than the songs on æHeavy CrownÆ. ║ │
│║ The first album set a tone, but on æIIÆ we ║ │
│║ developed that idea and took it to the next ║ │
│║ logical stage.ö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Drummer Vinny Appice, on the sound of the new ║ │
│║ record and song writing process, says ôI always ║ │
│║ sound like me. Viv and I have been playing ║ │
│║ together for years and have the same feel and ║ │
│║ pulse and attitude. Now with Phil on bass, he ║ │
│║ allows a more melodic approach on the bass parts ║ │
│║ making the songs even more interesting. He fits ║ │
│║ in perfectly being from the same musical family ║ │
│║ and time as me and Viv. Mr. Freeman sings from ║ │
│║ his soul and completes the bandÆs sound with his ║ │
│║ melodies and amazing range.ö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ He continues, ôthe songwriting process was the ║ │
│║ same as DIOÆs æHoly DiverÆ. First, we have fun ║ │
│║ writing together. We get in a room and jam on ║ │
│║ riffs and chords until we hit on something good, ║ │
│║ then continue to build it into a song. Andy puts ║ │
│║ his magic on it and it all works out very well.ö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Asked about first single æLandslideÆ, Vocalist ║ │
│║ Andrew Freeman says, ôÆLandslideÆ was the first ║ │
│║ song we wrote for this record. It was really ║ │
│║ easy to write as all of the parts fell into ║ │
│║ place quickly. The title æLandslideÆ is a ║ │
│║ metaphor relating to the day to day struggles ║ │
│║ that we all go through as people. Trying to keep ║ │
│║ on course when dealing with adversity, ║ │
│║ manipulation through media and leadership. ItÆs ║ │
│║ meant to inspire strength and resolve. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Phil Soussan says about how it was joining Last ║ │
│║ In Line and the development of the songs, ô[i]t ║ │
│║ was refreshing to be able to write songs in such ║ │
│║ an organic fashion û by jamming and developing ║ │
│║ ideas as a group, without bringing in ║ │
│║ preconceived songs û something I havenÆt done ║ │
│║ for ages. The result was a true collaboration, a ║ │
│║ concept that is so rare these days! Vinny has a ║ │
│║ unique style of drumming that, beyond keeping ║ │
│║ beats, inspires riffs and arrangements and ║ │
│║ Vivian has a way of playing that has a ║ │
│║ conviction to every note. He is able to turn ║ │
│║ every riff into a signature. Andrew was creative ║ │
│║ and unrestricted, focusing his contemporary ║ │
│║ influences into vocal stylings and hooks that ║ │
│║ are outside the classic rock clichΘs. He is very ║ │
│║ much a perfectionist. Beyond trying to remain ║ │
│║ true to JimmyÆs playing and to the heritage of ║ │
│║ the relationship between Viv and Vinny, everyone ║ │
│║ was completely open to exploring any possible ║ │
│║ idea. I am honestly prouder of our efforts on ║ │
│║ this album than anything in which I have been ║ │
│║ involved in for a very long time. With æIIÆ I ║ │
│║ would like to think that we have stretched out ║ │
│║ from æHeavy CrownÆ to test some uncharted ║ │
│║ watersà. the evolution of Last in Line!ö ║ │
