VARDIS Sign Album Contract With SPV / Steamhammer
November 2nd, 2015
New Wave Of British Heavy Metal group Vardis have signed an album contract with SPV / Steamhammer, revealing this development on November 2nd, 2015.
Guitarist Steve Zodiac issued the following statement: “Reuniting after a 30-year hiatus was a leap in the dark, but the response has been tremendous. Terry (Horbury, bass), Joe (Clancy, drums) and I have hit upon a creative chemistry that makes me as excited to be recording the fifth Vardis album today as I was cutting our first demos in ’76.
“SPV / Steamhammer have a deserved reputation for high-quality releases, but it was their passion for the future of rock and metal as well its heritage that meant they were the label we wanted to work with. Together we can push boundaries on the most heartfelt, hard-edged Vardis record yet, with that same rock and roll spirit at the centre of everything we do!”
Steamhammer A&R Olly Hahn shared the following words, meanwhile: “I am a child of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal and I remember well when I bought the Quo Vardis album (1982) back then. The band combined certain styles like boogie, glam and hard rock and created their own musical brand. I’m very proud that Steve and the band decided to sign with SPV / Steamhammer. The band is on fire, and if you saw their gig at last year’s Keep It True festival in Germany, you know what I mean!”
Third studio record Vigilante was released in 1986.
