C'est un groupe italien qui a recruté l'ancien batteur de Helloweeen / Masterplan, le bassiste de Symphony X, et même James Labrie sur 4 morceaux.

J'étais donc intéressé même si ça ne sentait pas le truc bien spontané. A l'écoute des extraits le line-up est juste un cache misère pour moi.
Italy's Last Union have released their new album, Most Beautiful Day, which features a collaboration with Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie on four songs.

Destined for big adventures, Last Union celebrates ex-Helloween Uli Kusch' s return after a few years absence as one of the most respected drummers of all times, and welcomes none other than Symphony X bassist Mike LePond. Focusing on the band's composers, the spirited driving force of melodies of Cristiano Tiberi's elegant and aggressive guitars and Elisa Scarpeccio's distinctive voice.

"Hold on a second here, surprises keep coming! After the great success of the first two videos, 85k+ views on Facebook, here's the brand new one. Watch the video of the band's very first stage experience playing the album title-track. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the support and interest and we will of course keep on bringing you updates on everything. A big thank you for your quality work, passion, patience and trust."

Comme toujours avec ce genre de projets, il n'y a pas grand chose à en attendre musicalement. Je retiens quand-même un bon point là dedans: Uli Kusch peut à nouveau jouer de la batterie :up:

Italian progressive metal band LAST UNION has released a lyric video for the song "A Place In Heaven". The track, which features a guest appearance by DREAM THEATER singer James LaBrie, is taken from the group's debut album, "Twelve", which will be released on December 21 via ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records.

"Twelve", which also features Mike LePond (SYMPHONY X) on bass, Uli Kusch (HELLOWEEN, MASTERPLAN) on drums, was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, best known for his work with ARCH ENEMY, SYMPHONY X, DEVIN TOWNSEND, ANGRA and OPETH, to name a few. The cover artwork was created by Thomas Ewerhard (AVANTASIA, RAGE, THRESHOLD).

The quiet city of Tolentino in the Marche region of Central Italy not only boasts a rich historical background, it is also the place progressive metal band LAST UNION calls home. Founded by vocalist Elisa Scarpeccio, guitarist Cristiano Tiberi and keyboardist Claudio Feliziani in 2007, the band — originally known as BLAZING ICE — embarked on their journey in the pursuit of sharing their thoughts and feelings about life, and ultimately their art, with the world. With the assistance of professional session bassists and drummers, the trio established themselves on the Italian scene with a string of shows that helped them evolve and refine their craft. Over the course of 20 shows, LAST UNION presented songs that would eventually make the final cut for their debut album.

Strong and positive reactions to their music spurred Scarpeccio and Tiberi on to take the first of many bold steps. The first was to reach out to Kusch, who, after hearing the music, expressed interest in joining the band as a full member rather than just a touring drummer. A similar scenario played out with LePond and LAST UNION was officially born. The icing on the cake, however, was getting LaBrie to sing on three tracks.

Track listing:

01. Most Beautiful Day
02. President Evil (feat. James LaBrie)
03. Hardest Way
04. Purple Angels
05. The Best Of Magic
06. Taken (feat. James LaBrie) (radio edit)
07. 18 Euphoria
08. A Place In Heaven (feat. James LaBrie)
09. Ghostwriter
10. Limousine
11. Back In The Shadow
12. Taken (feat. James LaBrie)
13. President Evil (feat. James LaBrie) (video version)
