To those not paying attention, it might seem that PHIL VINCENT is in 17 bands, but the reality is it is only 5. And his solo career!
 
So yes, he's a busy lad and sometimes it might be valid to quote the quality over quantity cliche, but as long as he's delivering records like Cranston II, I don't think you could fairly use that.
 
CRANSTON is singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Phil Vincent, AOR God Paul Sabu and D’Ercole drummer B.F. D’Ercole. So Phil isn't reaching far outside his musical circle for collaborators, nor is he delivering anything we haven't heard before - crunchy melodic hard rock with a slight pomp touch and those unmistakable Kip Winger styled vocals.
 
But the genuine warmth in which I hold Phil is testament to the material he delivers. Ok, so the production might not quite be there, but there's always a few songs from each album you treasure and there aren't too many fillers on offer. And he's a very fine guitarist too.

If American melodic hard rock with a pomp touch and a heavy Winger influence is your thing, then look no further.

Come And Get The New TRAGIK Album

Artist: 
Release Year: 
2015
Categories:

"Come and Get It" is the 6th album from power house Tragik and the first time cooperating with Rock Company. Combining massive hooks, multilayered vocals, heavy guitars, atmospheric keyboards, thunderous bass and drums, and pristine production values, this release fires on all cylinders. From the Foreigner-esque opener "Where Would I Be...?" to heavy rocker "Fallen Angel" to the Journey meets Boston rock of "You Are the One", get ready for a melodic onslaught second to none.

This album has it all, metal, hard rock, melodic power ballad, and anything else associated with high quality music. Vocalist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, and drummer Phil Vincent has a knack for writing melodic hooks. His time with rockers Legion proved that. Aided by guitarist Damian D'Ercole and guest guitarists Peter Cox , Vince O'Regan and Michael J. Sprague, "Come and Get It" rocks you to the very core. 12 minute opus "Rescue Me/Rise to the Sun" shows Tragik's prog-rock tendencies and really is a masterpiece. The metal slam of "Can't Slow Down" blasts through your speakers with rough abandon, the Paul McCartney drenched "When the Darkness Falls", the Dokken meets Winger rock of "Someone's Gonna Hurt You Tonight", and the flat out class of "Smokin' Gun" will leave you breathless.

This is rock. This is Tragik.

Soon available on http://www.rockcompany.nl and other retailers or online!

Statement from vocalist PHIL VINCENT announcing his departure from LEGION:
 
"It is with both disappointment and extreme excitement that I must announce my departure as vocalist and songwriter of the band Legion. It was an honor and pleasure working with Vince O'Regan and I am very proud of the music we created but the lack of financial support, peripheral interference, and new musical opportunities, have combined to lead me to this decision.
 
The new ventures that have presented themselves will take precedence for me from this day forward and I must dedicate 100% of my time and effort toward these projects. I am very confident my new musical creations will excite and satisfy my fan base and I look forward to unveiling my music to you and the world. My heartfelt thanks to all the Legion fans for your support over the last 5 years and 7 albums and I look forward to rocking with you again very soon.
 
Keep an eye on http://www.philvincentbands.com and http://philvincent.com for my next chapter. With great appreciation, Phil Vincent."
