Brothers Carmine and Vinny Appice have been amongst the most recognised, most respected and most active drummers on the rock music scene for many years. For the first time they have worked together on a studio album, and they’ve enlisted the help of many of their friends in the rock world to get it completed. The album, called “Sinister” was released on 27th October 2017 through Steamhammer/SPV. It contains a mix of new tracks and classic rock tunes from their past. I featured the Dio tribute “Monsters and Heroes” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 3rd November.
