Devil’s Hand is an exciting new project
featuring the amazing talents of two outstanding musicians:
famed producer/guitarist/songwriter Mike Slamer
and the equally amazing singer Andrew Freeman of Last In Line fame.
The first single, "Falling In"
from the band is out NOW!
"Devil's Hand" will be released
on December 7, 2018. Pre-order the album here: http://radi.al/DevilsHand
Mike Slamer has been behind some of the most amazing melodic hard rock
releases of the past two decades. The list includes, but is not limited to,
Steelhouse Lane, Seventh Key, Slamer, and Terry Brock. And let's not forget his
past work in the '80s with Streets (featuring Kansas singer Steve Walsh) and in
the '70s with City Boy. The quality of his songwriting and production work is
unsurpassed as the records he has produced and been involved in have more than
stood the test of time.
Mike says, “This new record has some great stuff. I don't want to make
direct comparisons because Steelhouse Lane, Seventh Key, my solo album, and the
new one all have great singers, but different styles, qualities, and levels of
collaboration."
Andrew Freeman is simply one of the most gifted singers of the current hard
rock scene. With his performance on Last In Line's debut album (and their
forthcoming 2019 release), he made heads turn with the power of his vocals. His
unbelievable set of pipes adds an undeniable fire to the Devil's Hand
album.
Andrew adds that his "approach on singing the songs was the same as all the
recordings I’ve done. I try to bring the same amount of passion and conviction
in everything I write and perform. This group of songs that Mike and I wrote are
a bit more commercial, but they have the same amount of intensity and anthemic
spirit as the Last In Line record. Lots of big sing along choruses and screaming
guitars! I think the title track “Devil’s Hand” encompasses the entire vibe of
the record. It has elements of all the greatest rock 'n roll songs I’ve ever
heard. “Heartbeat Away” will give you the feels. It’s pensive, dramatic, and
optimistic. All of the emotion that encompasses life. It’s just a really well
rounded record."
Devil’s Hand is going to be an highlight of the melodic hard rock season.
Just another unbelievable record from Mr. Slamer and a testament to the
abilities of Andrew Freeman, one of the greatest rock singers around. Don’t miss
this!
