Escape Music is about to release the much-anticipated D’LUNA album titled “Monster”, featuring on lead vocals Jeff Scott Soto (W.E.T / Yngwie Malmsteen, Sons Of Apollo) and with special guest dUg Pinnick (King’s X / The Mob).
D’luna is an entity instituting the music and songwriting of its founder, namely guitarist David De luna. David and his songs are a very personal individual journey that represents strong guitar riffs, a true Texas groove and a high level of energy.
The opening track ‘Monster’ lives up to its name and has a very strong King’s X influence which is hardly a surprise as it features dUg Pinnick of that very band. An explosive start to the album. ’Monster’ as an album is a superb slice of rock / metal and with David’s guidance and themes the whole thing has developed into a great working relationship between himself and vocalist Jeff Scott Soto.
Jeff, of course, has worked with so many big names in the past, such as Malmsteen, Journey, Talisman and Sons of Apollo, he is a much-loved vocalist in the world of rock music. Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai) is on bass along with Dan Meyers on keyboards and Oren Halmut on drums, and with engineer Rich Mouser (Spock’s Beard / Roxanne) at the helm the mixes are brought to perfection.
D’Luna’s Monster greets the listener with a gravity strong enough that even light cannot escape it. The audience will be drawn into the unique sound, heaviness and level of virtuosity with undeniable hooks and melodies.
