Big Noize: 'Battlefileds' song posted online
Big Noize, the band featuring vocalist Joe Lynn Turner (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen), bassist Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne), guitarist Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) and drummer Vinny Appice (Heaven And Hell, Dio, Black Sabbath), has issued the following update:"We are happy to announce that the song 'Battlefileds' that was performed for our troops in Iraq and Kuwait has finally been completed and has been posted. There was quite a delay in getting this done, for many reasons, but mainly scheduling - some of us are East Coast and some are on the West Coast!
"Anyway, the music was recorded and send to Joe in New Jersey who then sang the vocal and sent it back to Los Angeles where it was mixed and mastered. We are really happy to have it up here although we have to wait for clearance to allow it to be distributed.
"It is really an emotional song and it brings us right back to the special time that we were able to share with all of our troops in all the remotest locations. It is also dedicated to all the troops that we were not able to see, and those in other parts of the world; we know that you are out there putting it all on the line for our security, freedom and safety, and we Thank You! Our lives will certainly never be the same, nor taken for granted, after meeting all of you fantastic man and women of our military, and we salute you ? God bless you all.
Big Noize completed a two-week tour of Iraq and Kuwait (see video footage below) in September 2008.
