Rock icon Vinnie Vincent is making a bold return to the music scene with his new single “Ride the Serpent,” his first original material in over two decades. The elusive guitarist, now 73, is not easing back into the spotlight quietly – instead, he’s rolling out his new music in true Vinnie Vincent fashion.
Vincent is releasing “Ride the Serpent” exclusively as a limited edition CD, with only 1000 copies available. Each CD will be individually numbered and signed by the artist himself, making it a rare collector’s item for fans. The price tag reflects the exclusivity, with U.S. buyers paying $200 plus shipping, and international orders costing an additional $100 for postage.
The release of “Ride the Serpent” is just the beginning of what Vincent is calling the Vinnie Vincent Invasion Master Series. The single, a nearly 8-minute guitar showcase with Vincent on guitar and bass, features vocals by Robert Fleischman and drums by Keary Jordan. For fans who have been eagerly awaiting new material from Vincent, the track promises to be a full-force return to the music scene.
Vincent’s decision to release the single in this hyper-controlled manner is a result of concerns about piracy. In a message to fans, he explained that he wants to protect his music from being illegally distributed and shared. While some may question the high price of the limited edition CD, Vincent emphasizes that his music is highly desired and vulnerable to piracy, making this method of release necessary.
“Ride the Serpent” will also serve as the lead track for Vincent’s upcoming album, “Judgement Day Guitarmageddon.” He plans to release each song from the album in the same limited edition format, with more special releases to follow. Preorders for the single are available now for collectors eager to get their hands on this exclusive piece of music.
In a music industry filled with streaming and digital downloads, Vinnie Vincent’s decision to release his new music in such a unique and limited format is a bold move that reflects his dedication to his craft and his desire to protect his work from piracy. As fans anticipate the release of “Ride the Serpent,” Vincent’s return to the music scene promises to be a memorable and exclusive experience.
