VICIOUS RUMORS is already working on material for a new studio album, to be released in 2015. In addition, the band will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the cult album "Soldiers Of The Night" with a massive world tour in 2015.

VICIOUS RUMORS in January announced the addition of singer Nick Holleman and bassist Tilen Hudrap to the group's ranks. They also welcomed back Bob Capka on guitar.

Nick, a native of Holland, has a powerful melodic voice with great range and tone. A natural talent with a high-octane stage presence and endless sustain. Nick's performance stunned VICIOUS RUMORS fans old and new during the band's last tour in the USA.

Nick was hired on the spot after VICIOUS RUMORS leader Geoff Thorpe saw a video on YouTube. "I just imagined him singing our songs and it works perfectly," Geoff said. "Once we met and the chemistry was right, I realized I found the right guy for the job."

Tilen is a native of Slovenia. After a series of auditions, Tilen was hired last summer to fill in on tour. The band liked his aggressive playing and monster stage presence so much that he was invited to join the band as a full-time member after his first show in July. Tilen already played two world tours with the band (Europe and USA, 50 shows) and appears in the newest video for the title track off the current album "Electric Punishment".

VICIOUS RUMORS is:

Geoff Thorpe - Guitar
Larry Howe - Drums
Nick Holleman - Vocals
Bob Capka - Guitar
