May 19, 2010Ronnie Atkins (vocals) of long-running Danish hard rockers PRETTY MAIDS spoke to Metal Assault about the passing of the passing of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW). You can listen to the one-minute audio clip below.
PRETTY MAIDS' new album, "Pandemonium", will be released on June 8 in the U.S. via Frontiers Records.
According to a press release, "Pandemonium" "truly shows the band in their finest moment [and] is their best effort in many years." It is said to be "a return to the 'Future World' / 'Red Hot and Heavy' era of the Eighties but with an updated sound and freshness that consolidates that PRETTY MAIDS are as strong as ever."
Written in the fall 2009 and recorded in the winter 2010, "Pandemonium" was produced by Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, RAUNCHY) and will be supported by several festival appearances during the summer of 2010 and a full-scale European tour in October/November 2010.
