Legendary Def Leppard/Manraze guitarist Phil Collen has recorded a guest appearance for the upcoming Oedipus LP Vicious Little Smile, in stores in North America 3/13 via THC : Music/Rocket Science/RED. Phil contributed lead and rhythm guitars to the track “FINAL MACHINE”.
“We had built up a mutual admiration through our label, who also releases Phil’s MANRAZE project, and the idea came up for him to play on a track, and miraculously, it ended up happening. It turned out amazing, we couldn’t be happier or more honored. Phil is such a legendary and spectacular talent, and we were all just blown away with how cool and naturally it came together.” Says Oedipus bassist/vocalist Jeremy Haffner, a sentiment echoed by Collen.
"I loved the track as soon as I heard it. These guys have got phenomenal energy. Playing on it was a blast, and I look forward to hearing the rest of the album."
LA Rock favorites OEDIPUS have signed a Worldwide recording deal with THC:Music/Rocket Science Ventures, who will release their upcoming LP Vicious Little Smile in Spring 2012, in addition to the EP Holding out for More, available exclusively via digital retailers Worldwide October 18th.
Produced by Darian Cowgil (Sleeping Giant), Holding Out for More formally releases several of the bands international hits including “Tres Las”, “Burn It Down”, and “Jack and Ginger”, which have already received airplay in over 30 countries including Poland, Germany, South Africa, Russia, Croatia, and the US, as well as new single “Gimme a Chance” that is catching on at radio Worldwide.
The releases will be distributed via Rocket Science/RED in North America.
Oedipus is already well on their way to global domination, with massive success in Europe in 2010, when Polish radio giant ESKA ROCK added their single “Tres Las”, which went on to hit #1 on the Polish Rock charts, the genesis of 3 #1 Polish Rock Singles, followed by repeated visits to Europe. Their last trip included performance at Ursynalia, where the band performed for over 10,000 people at Poland’s biggest open-air festival, alongside the likes of Korn, Guano Apes, Alter Bridge, Simple Plan and more, and the band is already planning their next European trek, as well as their first trip to South Africa.
Further cementing their position in the forefront of the international Rock World, both “Tres Las” and Jack and “Ginger” were included on the inaugural Polish editions of the hit International compilation Now That’s What I Call Music in league with artists including Ke$ha, Snoop Dogg, and Katy Perry.
