VICIOUS RUMORS
THE ATLANTIC YEARS
3CD DELUXE EDITION

Founded in 1979, Bay Area legends Vicious Rumors established themselves with two classic releases on Shrapnel Records before signing to Atlantic where they found further international success touring with the likes of Savatage, Megadeth, Accept and Testament. During this period the band made two videos with director Gore Verbinski, who went on to direct movies including 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' and 'The Ring'.

This brand new 29 track, 3CD package features three full re-mastered albums from the 1989-1992, including their classic major label self-titled debut (1990), the revered follow up ‘Welcome To The Ball’ (1991) and their hard-to-find live album ‘Plug In And Hang On – Live From Tokyo.’ (1992). Geoff remembers the studio albums “perfectly captured the chemistry of the sound we created in the early 80s by mixing traditional heavy metal with elements of speed, thrash and power.” Featuring extended liner notes from respected rock journalist Dom Lawson and exclusive contributions from Geoff Thorpe, the release is essential for fans of power metal, thrash and traditional heavy metal.

The band continue to record and tour, releasing their thirteenth studio album ‘Celebration Decay’ in 2020. The band will tour extensively in 2023 for the Atlantic Years World Tour! Dates are being booked now as the band will perform all classics songs from these albums with Ronny Munroe ( Metal Church/ Trans- Siberian Orchestra ) on Lead vocals. Ronny joins VR at the perfect time to carry on the VR Legacy on this special tour and with studio albums to follow. Some headline gigs will feature both " Vicious Rumors" and "Welcome to the Ball" albums performed in there entirety, for the first time ever!

"We're very excited to release the first and only Vicious Rumors officially endorsed boxset. The chance for our fans to get a box set from the Carl Albert, Atlantic Records era is something we've always wanted to do. They were wild times! We were the masters of ceremonies! 43 years and still going strong, we’re celebrating with a world tour in 2023. Turn it up! Live to the fullest!! See ya on the road in 2023!”
- Geoff Thorpe

Gabriel Management presents the new High Roller Records release: Cloven Hoof "The BBC Sessions" LP out on August 24

Midlands outfit Cloven Hoof must rate as one of the most legendary bands of the entire New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. The origins of the group go back to the year 1979, when they first formed under the name of Nightstalker. In 1981, however, the band switched to their new moniker: Cloven Hoof. Original vocalist David Potter, guitarist Steve Rounds, drummer Kevin Poutney and main man Lee Payne on bass adopted the stage characters of Earth, Fire, Water and Air. A very interesting concept which was far ahead of its time. Cloven Hoof issued their debut vinyl 12" EP "The Opening Ritual" in 1982. In 1984, the self-titled Cloven Hoof album was released, followed by "Fighting Back" (1986), "Dominator" (1988) and "A Sultan’s Ransom" (1989). For a long time, fans have been asking for Cloven Hoof’s two BBC sessions (from 1983 and 1989) to be made officially available. Finally, the wait is over!

CLOVEN HOOF have over the years attained a legendary status and been ranked as one of the last significant bands in the NWOBHM movement for their releases, "Cloven Hoof" (1984), "Dominator" (1988) and "A Sultan's Ransom" (1989). In recent years they've also been renowned for their high energy live performances.

Originally formed in the heart of the West Midlands, England in 1979, the line up consisted of Lee Payne bass guitar, David Potter vocals, Steve Rounds Lead guitar and Kevin Pountney drums. The first demo tape the band did together was given the thumbs up from no lesser stars than Robert Plant (LED ZEPPELIN) who took a copy of the tape into BBC Radio One. Another celebrity, Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST) got it played on a radio station in Phoenix, AZ. The station was bombarded with heavy metal callers who wanted to know more about the band.

In 2017 CLOVEN HOOF put out their seventh full length album titled "Who Mourns for the Morning Star" which received fantastic reviews upon its release. The first outing with current line-up listing Lee Payne as ever on bass, Luke Hatton and Chris Coss on twin Lead guitars. George Call on vocals and Danny White on drums.
"I first heard George Call's voice when he was performing with ASKA at the 'Keep It True Festival' in Germany. I knew right away that this was the voice I was after. I was also blown away with Danny White's performance on the drums. We made a promise there and then that we would work together one day" states Lee Payne

Earlier announced, CLOVEN HOOF recently signed a deal with Pure Steel Records and are currently in the studio working on a follow-up album to "Who Mourns for the Morning Star" tentatively planned for a fall 2018 release.
