Drum icon VINNY APPICE (BLACK SABBATH, DIO, LAST IN LINE) is gearing up for a special milestone in his career. October 27th he will unleash a new album titled “APPICE – SINISTER” from SPV Records. “SINISTER” will mark Vinny’s first ever album collaboration with his brother, another drum legend CARMINE APPICE (VANILLA FUDGE, ROD STEWART, OZZY OSBOURNE) Together the brothers have written and recorded 13 new songs with some of their greatest friends and musicians on the planet. Vinny spoke to METAL NEXUS about the upcoming album. In the conversation we discussed what it meant for the brothers to finally record an album together, the recording process and how its changed during Vinny’s career, and one of his biggest “SPINAL TAP” moments that occurred while touring with BLACK SABBATH for the “HEAVEN & HELL TOUR”.
“Sinister” will be released on October 27th, 2017 through SPV/Steamhammer as CD digipak, double gate fold vinyl, download and stream. Pre-order the album HERE.
