It’s "Now or Never" for Veronica Freeman’s solo project THE V ! Debut album out on Frontiers in July.
Frontiers Music Srl announces the release of Veronica Freeman’s solo project THE V debut album entitled "Now or Never" on July 3rd in Europe and July 10th in North America.
Veronica “The V” Freeman is the iconic
singer of the Heavy Metal heavyweights Benedictum and THE V marks a major step
out of her comfort zone, since it delves into a definite melodic Hard Rock
vibe.
An impressive array of talent has stepped
up to assist THE V in creating her solo project on many levels. The list
includes Pete Wells, Aric Avina and Rikard Stjernquist of BENEDICTUM, Michael
Sweet (STRYPER), Garry Bordonaro (THE RODS), Jeff Pilson (DOKKEN, FOREIGNER),
Mike Lepond (SYMPHONY X), Tony Martin (BLACK SABBATH), Leather Leone
(CHASTAIN), Jerry Dixon (WARRANT), Jimmy Durkin (DARK ANGEL), Mick Tucker
(TANK), Jordan Ziff (AGE OF EVIL), Derek Kerswill (UNEARTH, KINGDOM OF SORROW),
Peter Tentindo (VENUS MARS PROJECT), John Herrera, Ryan Greene, Kenny Lewis,
Meliesa McDonell, Michael Harris , Mel Brown and John O’Boyle.
Veronica comments: "I had a lot of
input and encouragement from Frontiers to try and stretch myself with different
musical styles and approaches. It was great to be able to work with Pete Wells
writing some of these songs too. So, it was a no-brainer to accept their
proposal for a solo album. I am a bit nervous and beyond excited!"
Be prepared! If you thought Veronica was
just a Heavy Metal Amazon, you’re going to be proven dead wrong! This is a
massive Melodic Hard Rock record with some great lead vocals which show a lot
of the original influences that brought “THE V” to be one of the most well know
and recognized voices in the current Metal scene!
