Release

Plans had been in progress to reunite the original band for about fifteen years,” says Vanian. ”It’s taken a long time to put various bits and bobs together to make it happen. It seemed never-ending, certainly over the last ten years. It was now or never in some respects.” There is an urgency and pop sensibility to ‘From Your Lips’ but its more than that, it has a gothic feel to it that rises the song up, giving it a class all of its own.
