VARDIS were forged out of Glam, Punk, Heavy Metal, Blues and Rock &#8216;n&#8217;  Roll in the crucible of 1970s northern England.  <!--more-->  They are a product of  rock music across three generations: inspired by the great Rockers and  electric bluesmen of the 50s and 60s, learning their trade rubbing  shoulders with the young guns of Hard Rock and Punk in the 70s, and  achieving prominence in the 80s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy  Metal. The hard, ferocious attack of their sound directly influenced  the development of thrash and speed metal across North America and  Europe, cited by metal giants such as Metallica and Megadeth. Never  losing sight of the melodic, boogie sensibilities of their earliest  influences, the VARDIS brand of Hard Rock retains a unique heavy groove,  and has endured as truly original.<\/p>\n<p> Guitarist and singer Steve Zodiac about the signing &#8220;Reuniting after a  30 year hiatus was a leap in the dark, but the response has been  tremendous. Terry, Joe and I have hit upon a creative chemistry that  makes me as excited to be recording the 5th VARDIS album today as I was  cutting our first demos in &#8217;76. SPV\/Steamhammer have a deserved  reputation for high quality releases, but it was their passion for the  future of Rock and Metal as well it&#8217;s heritage that meant they were the  label we wanted to work with. Together we can push boundaries on the  most heartfelt, hard-edged VARDIS record yet, with that same rock n roll  spirit at the centre of everything we do.!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Olly Hahn, A&amp;R at Steamhammer ads &#8220;I am a child of the New Wave of  British Metal and I remember well when I bought the &#8220;Quo Vardis&#8221; album  back then. The band combined certain styles like Boogie, Glam and Hard  Rock and created their own musical brand. I\u00b4m very proud that Steve and  the band decided to sign with SPV\/Steamhammer. The band is on fire and  when you saw their gig at last years Keep It True festival in Germany  you know what I mean!&#8221;<br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source:<br \/> http:\/\/www.vardisrocks.com\/<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPV\/Steamhammer is proud to announce the signing one of the real and true veterans of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5718\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
