Each song in this collection offers both lovers of well-known classics and die-hard fans of Def Leppard’s hidden gems a special sound experience. The mixture of symphonic arrangements, reworked vocals and guitar parts promise a listening experience in a class of its own. At some points you can even hear Joe Elliott in a duet with his younger self.

The fascinating musical experience “Drastic Symphonies” is released as Blu-ray Audio including Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes.

As guitarist Phil Collen points out, “Drastic Symphonies” goes far beyond an ordinary remix album. They didn’t just put an orchestra on top of their existing recordings, but created a new kind of masterpiece that combines classical and modern sound in a way never heard before. The magical atmosphere of Abbey Road Studios in London, where the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra recorded live, is reflected in every song.
