Daniel Tompkins - The Gift (from Ruins) feat. Matthew K Heafy [Official Audio]

Daniel Tompkins announces new album 'Ruins' on 11th December on Kscope A new interpretation of his debut solo album 'Castles'. Features guest appearances from Trivium's Matthew K Heafy, Paul Ortiz (Chimpspanner) and Plini Pre-order/ pre-save: https://DanielTompkins.lnk.to/Ruins Ruins sees Tompkins rework Castles alongside producer Paul Ortiz (Chimp Spanner) showcasing re-written music with more aggression and a truer, darker tone. Castles was originally created by co-producer and friend Eddie Head (Haji’s Kitchen) and whilst the lyrical and conceptual side still represents the same ideas, the new version Ruins is significantly different to Castles with the addition of Tompkins’ signature aggressive versus clean vocal style. It was felt that renaming the album and each song was appropriate and aside from the lyrics, it is essentially a completely new album. Ruins features guest artists and additional co-creators. Paul Ortiz (Chimpspanner) rewrote the music and acted as co-producer alongside Tompkins, and Plini plays guitar on opener ‘Wounded Wings’. First single ‘The Gift’ a brand new song to accompany the album, features Trivium frontman and guitarist, Matt Heafy, a friend of Tompkins who is also a prominent streamer on Twitch. When Matt agreed to contribute to ‘The Gift’, Tompkins wrote the parts and Heafy recorded them from his home studio and live on Twitch. “It was an honour to be featured on ‘The Gift’. Having been a longtime fan of Tesseract and Dan, this was a wonderful collaboration to take part of. People are going to be floored with this release.” Follow Daniel Tompkins https://www.facebook.com/danieltompki... https://www.instagram.com/rockwithdan https://twitter.com/Rockwithdan https://www.youtube.com/user/RockWithDan https://www.youtube.com/user/kscopemu... http://daniel-tompkins.com https://www.danieltompkinsvocalist.com http://kscopemusic.com/dt
