DEF LEPPARD's DRASTIC SYMPHONIES Album Out Now In New Zealand/Preview All Songs
Def Leppard 2023
Def Leppard's new Drastic Symphonies album recorded with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is out now in New Zealand with previews available.
The new album 'Drastic Symphonies' is released on Friday 19th May.
The album features 16 classic Def Leppard songs reworked and reimagined with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London.
The first single 'Animal' was released to digital and streaming services on the same day as the announcement followed by both 'Hysteria' on 5th May and 'When Love & Hate Collide' on 17th May.
New Zealand Release
Due to world wide time zones the first territory to get a release of the new album is New Zealand where it is now Friday 19th May.
'Drastic Symphonies' is now available to listen to in full in that country and can therefore be previewed worldwide.
Listen to 1:30min snippets of all 16 tracks below from Apple New Zealand.
You'll have to wait until midnight in your country of course to listen to it in full and receive your physical copy (if you haven't already).
Epic New Versions
As you can hear from these previews the songs all sound pretty epic.
'Gods Of War' and 'Switch 625' are suitably even more dramatic than their originals.
The 'Too Late For Love' preview shows off Joe's new lead vocal and more drama with the orchestra's percussion.
If you weren't fully on board with this album from the three songs released so far you will be after listening to all 16 previews.
