Legendary rock band WHITESNAKE has set "Forevermore" as the title of its new album, tentatively due at the end of March 2011 via Frontiers Records. Check out the cover artwork below.

Regarding the CD's title, WHITESNAKE mainman David Coverdale stated, "Don't forget, 'tis ONE word. Otherwise it sounds like a bleedin' Valentine's Day card, which it ain't!"

According to a press release, WHITESNAKE's follow-up to 2008's "Good To Be Bad" will be "a solid, natural progression from the band's last opus, which was awarded by the influential Classic Rock magazine as 'Best Album of the Year' in 2008." "As always, we want to take it to the next level," stated David Coverdale. "I feel that with the last album we achieved a strong WHITESNAKE 'cocktail' that comfortably embraced and mixed all the previous musical aspects and styles of the band's history, while taking our identity a little further... all on one album."

"The new songs are in the very familiar and recognizable WHITESNAKE territory of soulful, bluesy, melodic power rock, with a couple of ballads thrown in for good measure," the singer said. "It can't be a WHITESNAKE album without ballads, mate!"

I think you just scooped the Wombat!

ahhhhaaahaaa!! I love DC ...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their last album is by far my favorite album that's been released in the last 5 years, and I can't WAIT to hear this next one.

Isn't it the ONLY album of new material they've released in the last 5 years?

I meant out of ANY releases ding-dong! I listened to many new albums over the last few years, but that album is the only one I still listen to, and there isn't a bad song on the whole album! Love it.

Very cool!!! I was hoping this wasn't the end of D.C.

I thought "Good To Be Bad" was pretty solid. Loved the first four tracks on the album, and the ballads were very good, "Summer Rain" and the closer "Til The End Of Time."

Apparently, Reb Beach (one of my favorite guitarists) will be featured a little more prominently on the new WS album, according to one of his recent posts on his site. Doug Aldrich is a fantastic player and I think some interplay between he and Reb should prove to be interesting in the guitar department. Hopefully, DC has made a strong recovery, vocal-wise.

Update From Reb Beach:
"Well, it was a great year with the Winger boys. We toured all through Europe, and had a great run in South America. I am home now, and looking forward to writing something cool. I recently went to Tahoe to record the new Whitesnake record. It was a great experience. I worked closely with Doug and David, and we got some great solos. I did allot of singing, as well, and I even had the honor of doing sort of a duet with David. The record sounds fantastic with some classic Whitesnake type songs."

I ranked Good To Be Bad, as one of my top 3 Whitesnake cds. Most all the songs were pretty strong, Cover. and band sounded good, the songs were good as was production. Only a couple songs that I thought was weak. Hope the new cd is as good.

How does it compare to "Good to Be Bad"? That one was the best since the s/t 1987 album (European version, that is).

Holy shit, that sound clip sounds fucking amazing!

Wow!
