LAST IN LINE Announce New Album ‘Jericho’ Out March 31

First Single Ghost Town Out Now

Last In Line featuring frontman Andrew Freeman, bassist Phil Soussan (ex-Ozzy Osbourne) and former Dio comrades-in-arms Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard) and Vinny Appice (ex-Black Sabbath) announce the release of their third studio album “Jericho”, out on March 31. To kick things off, the first track “Ghost Town” has been released.

“The song for me describes breaking a cycle from different perspectives. On a personal level it could be family, career or life expectations, putting a person in an unwanted or unwelcome space. On a grander scale it addresses government expectations. Non-sensical, unethical ideas and laws that become the norm, while turning a blind eye to larger problems.”  Andrew Freeman

Despite the past two years of isolation, this record was produced in the best Hard Rock tradition with great studio performances of an excellent all-star line-up.

“With Last in Line, just as we did with Dio, we cut the basic tracks liveIt’s important for us to capture the energy of the syncopation of playing together in real time  much like the energy of a live show. This record represents the best of both worlds: the spirit of an energetic band performance, and the more reflective and nuanced qualities of our individual performances, too.”  Vivian Campbell

Last year, Last in Line surprised with a unique version of the Beatles classic “A Day in the Life” which has been released on the Limited 12” Silver Collector’s EP with the same name.
In 2023, Last in Line are at the top of their game. On “Jericho” Campbell delivers his signature flamboyant guitar playing, Appice and Soussan shake foundations with their unmistakable grooves, and Freeman’s vocals are just one of the best of his generation.

The 12 tracks boast big guitar riffs and solos, they’re catchy, and full of energy! Vinny Appice invites us: “All the musical forces of Last in Line are combined here for a super-powerful new record! …Press play and put your seatbelts on!!”
