Meanwhile, speaking about the album Jerico in an exclusive interview with MetalTalk on January 26, 2023, guitarist Vivian Campbell explained their musical process, stating:
“With Last in Line, just as we did with Dio, we cut the basic tracks live. It’s important for us to capture the energy of the syncopation of playing together in real-time, much like the energy of a live show. This record represents the best of both worlds: the spirit of an energetic band performance and the more reflective and nuanced qualities of our individual performances, too.”
More about Last In Line's music and career
The band's origins can be traced back to heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath. After Sabbath's vocalist Ronnie James Dio departed, he formed his own band, Dio, named after himself, along with fellow bandmate, drummer Vinny Appice, in October 1982.
When Ronnie passed away on May 16, 2010, due to stomach cancer, his Dio bandmates Vinny Appice, bassist Jimmy Bain, guitarist Vivian Campbell, and keyboardist Claude Schnell reunited to form Last In Line. The band's name comes from the 1984 Dio album that all four members featured on.
This band was originally intended to perform the heavy metal songs from Dio with a new vocalist, Andrew Freeman. However, they later began releasing albums of original material in 2016 with Heavy Crown.
Fans are eager to witness Last In Line perform their new compositions on tour, all while preserving the legacy of heavy metal icons like Dio and Black Sabbath.
