Vandenberg premiere 'Skyfall' lyric video
The latest taster of new album '2020'
Planet Rockstock 2020 headliners Vandenberg have premiered the lyric video for their latest single ‘Skyfall’.
Another anthemic hard rock gem, ‘Skyfall’ is the latest offshoot from Vandenberg’s first studio album in 35 years, ‘2020’, which comes out on Friday 29th May via Mascot Records.
Eponymous band leader Adrian Vandenberg says: "Skyfall, another track from our upcoming Vandenberg 2020 album! Lyrically there’s a bit of a symbolic connection to the times we are all in right now.
“Although the line ‘I’ll be right beside you” would violate the social distancing rule.. Don’t hesitate to turn it up and let your neighbours rock out with you, whether they choose to or not."
Watch the ‘Skyfall’ lyric video:

Following in the footsteps of ‘Freight Train’, ‘Shadows of the Night’ and their new version of classic track ‘Burning Heart’, ‘Skyfall’ is the fourth song Vandenberg have unleashed since they returned to the fore in January.
The follow-up to 1985’s ‘Alibi’, ‘2020’ features nine all-new Vandenberg tracks alongside the aforementioned remake of the band’s defining anthem ‘Burning Heart’.
Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow vocalist Ronnie Romero lends his impressive pipes to ‘2020’, while the band line-up also features bassist Randy van der Elsen (of NWOBHM heroes Tank) and drummer Koen Herfst, (Bobby Kimball, Epica and Doro).
Additionally, bassist Rudy Sarzo (Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Dio, Queensryche) and drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner, Billy Idol) guest appear on ‘2020’.
“I believe the vibe we have with this turbocharged line-up is wonderful,” comments Adrian Vandenberg. "We are not at all a nostalgia act, trying to recreate what happened all those years back. This is a brand new dynamic band with a name that has a legacy and I couldn't be happier with the way it's turned out."
The album is helmed by the esteemed producer Bob Marlette (Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie).
