"Sin" CD by Vandenberg

Digipak

Each album paints a picture. Instead of using a brush and canvas, Vandenberg paints with powerful vocals, earthquake-like rhythms, and the iconic and instantly recognizable fretwork of guitarist and namesake Adrian Vandenberg. Together with singer Mats Levén, drummer Koen Herfst, and bassist Randy van der Elsen, the influential axeman delivers a vibrant, visceral, and vital vision on the group's fifth album, SIN [Mascot Label Group]. The album brings to life a broad strokes of hymnal hard rock and airtight metal, produced by Bob Marlette [Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie].

'For me, music is like a painting,' affirms Adrian. 'It has its highs, lows, lights, and shades. With one song, you might want to jump on the table and rock your brains out. Another song might make you contemplate. Either way, you're thrown into a landscape, which is what my favorite albums still do for me. You can be sitting in the car or at home, headphones connected to a sound system, and suddenly you're in a different world.'
