'DRASTIC SYMPHONIES' OUT TODAY
Def Leppard is back today (May 19th) with its first sojourn into the classical field with Drastic Symphonies. The new collection features, “tracks dramatically reimagined by London’s iconic Royal Philharmonic Orchestra” — along with new vocals and instrumentation from the band.
Frontman Joe Elliott said in the album's official announcement, “When the offer to revisit some of our back catalogue with the Royal Philharmonic was presented to us, we all jumped at it. Although we’re far from the first band to ever do this, working directly with an orchestra at Abbey Road on some of our more orchestrated songs seemed too good of an opportunity to pass up.”
