Rock Company [Release date 28.05.25]
Tragik are back with album number thirteen and their first in two years, which is some gap for them, although Phil Vincent has been busy with his other musical projects. Joining him are Vince O’Regan, who lays down the rather splendid lead guitar solos, and the rhythm section of Damian D’Ercole (bass) and Dirk Phillips (drums).
Bachman Turner Overdrive’s ‘Givin’ it all Away’ is a balls to the wall cover and most enjoyable.
A couple of co-writes on ‘Living’ and ‘Human’ with James Kennedy. ‘Living’ is straight ahead rocker, whilst ‘Human’ takes the ballad route, with Phil’s vocals backed by piano at the start before the song morphs into a satisfying power ballad.
Elsewhere, ‘Beyond’ is a top draw melodic rock tune and quite possibly one of his best songs in recent times. ‘Phoenix Rising’ and ‘Burn It Down’ stick to the Tragik hard rock template, with ‘Judas’ seeing the album out in a flurry of riffs.
Always hard to suggest where to start to new listeners to the many works of Phil Vincent, however, this latest Tragik album is a perfect place to start. As for existing fans, they doubtless will enjoy this one. ***1/2
