The success of the band's video, "Here Comes the Night" (see below) is just the beginning of what this band will show you in the days to come. Many of you have already heard that there is a fantastic Depeche Mode cover of "Precious" on the album, but you have not yet heard that this song will be the next video single with a wonderful story. Another interesting fact is that real drums were not played for this song, but it was done by computer, in order to capture the spirit of this song and the inimitable Depeche Mode as faithfully as possible. Are you waiting for this video like we are? Check out a sneak peek below:
Paul Di'Anno speaking about his new album, "Paul Di'Anno's Warhorse is my first studio project after many years of being away from the studio and not performing. I remember when we announced that we were recording an album in Croatia with completely unknown musicians, many were shocked and no one knew in which direction we would go. Warhorse exudes pure energy and reflects everything I went through while recording the album."
Hrvoje Madiraca adds, "This record is a product of hard work combined with the voice of the man, the myth and the legend of our dear Wrathchild! Old school metal you want. That is what you'll get!"
Ante Pupacic, known as Pupi continues, "When it comes to music, I've done all sorts of things, but I'm particularly proud of this album. Two years of work, composing, arranging, recording, editing, deleting, and so on. We went through all kinds of emotions, from euphoria to agony. Each song was carefully polished to achieve its current form. On the album, everyone added their touch, both Hrvoje and I, in terms of lyrics, music, and production, all ennobled by the powerful vocals of our legend, Paul Di'Anno."
