News: VANDENBERG’s MOONKINGS announce their debut album and two UK dates in April

Vandenberg’s MoonKings debut album ‘MoonKings’, the first release from Adrian Vandenberg in 16 years, will be released on 24th February 2014 through Mascot Records. For an appetizer, check out the band recording ‘Lust And Lie’s at the famous Wisseloord Studios near Amsterdam, here:

The eagerly awaited record is a sensational mix of blistering rock songs and powerful ballads from the Dutch guitar hero, and includes a newly recorded version of Vandenberg’s ex-band Whitesnake’s classic ‘Sailing Ships’. Special guest David Coverdale adds his unique vocals to the equation, to complement Vandenberg’s powerful riffs for a welcome moment of nostalgia.

Multi-talented Vandenberg – who has designed all of his album sleeves since his very first record with Teaser at the age of 22 – took care of the artwork for this much-awaited record. Tracklist as follows:

1. Lust And Lies

2. Close To You

3. Good Thing

4. Breathing

5. Steal Away

6. Line Of Fire

7. Out Of Reach

8. Feel It

9. Leave This Town

10. One Step Behind

11. Leeches

12. Nothing Touches

13. Sailing Ships
