D’ERCOLE – Quantum 8 (2022)

The melodic hard rock band D’ERCOLE formed by Phil Vincent and brothers D’Ercole are about to release album number 8, properly titled “Quantum 8“, which seamlessly continues where the well-received previous release ‘Hard Core’ left us.
Mastered by expert Jacob Hansen, and with lead guitars provided by trusted friends Vince O’Regan and label boss Peter Cox on ‘Your Lies’, D’Ercole never lose momentum and keep delivering exciting melodic hard music with the genre’s classic era feel, with a surprise here and there.
The 10 new songs pack the punch you would expect from D’Ercole, melodic and heavy. From the crunching tones of ‘Bringer of Pain’ and ‘Hands of Time’, to the surprisingly poppy ‘Your Lies’ including heavy keys, all the way to elaborated closer ‘Vanilla Sky’, this new D’ERCOLE album will satisfy even the most discerning listener.
Easily their most diverse and complete album to date…

D’ERCOLE – Hard Core (2021)

Multi-facetic Phil Vincent is back with brothers Damian & B.F. D’Ercole and their project D’ERCOLE with their brand new opus titled “Hard Core” on Rock Company Records. We have 10 songs with the traditional melodic hard rock songs this band is known for: guitar driven, 80s / early 90s like melodies & choruses.
Mastered by Jacob Hansen and with a very good  production & mix, there’s strong, varied numbers. From the crunching tones of opener “Keep it All Together” to the Thin Lizzy meets Foreigner “This is Your Life”, to the sheer AOR of “Bringing Me Down” (akin Winger), all the way to massive closer “The Only One”, this new D’Ercole album will satisfy even the most discerning listener.

TRAGIK – Faith Healer (2020)

“Faith Healer” is album number nine from TRAGIK, another band that features the musician that never sleeps – Phil Vincent. With TRAGIK he handles vocals, bass and keyboards on the album. The band also features guitarist Damian D’Ercole and drummer Dirk Phillips, both of whom are key to band’s overall sound.
TRAGIK are the masters of riff infused 80s style hard rock, be it ‘Faith’ which is rounded out with some tasty keys, or ‘Hanging By A String’, where the guitars, keys and pounding drums all combine effortlessly together.
Quite possibly the band’s best outing to date and one to play loud, enjoy and forget about all the crap going on in the world right now.
