Def Leppard Announce New Album
16 Mar 2023
Announced today, Def Leppard have revealed details about their next album,
Drastic Symphonies in collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestral album features original Leppard audio combined with new vocals and guitars to create epic symphonic arrangements.
'When the offer of doing an orchestral album with the RPO was suggested we were honoured. But we didn't just want an orchestra plonked over our previous recordings. We decided to create something special where we would have something classic but present it in a brand new way that would involve making everything work in the context of Drastic Symphonies
.' - Rick Allen
