Some first-hand news from Rob De Luca concerning OF EARTH and UFO:

Hello everyone, it's been a while. First I want to thank all UFO fans in Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland and Lithuania. Sold out shows and amazing crowds! It was an incredible tour and we're honored by the distances some traveled to see us.

"The overall rave reviews of our new album "A Conspiracy Of Stars" make us very proud." Some examples:

"their best offering since at least 1995s ‘Walk On Water’. sets the bar at stratospheric levels for heavy rock in 2015."- Get Ready to ROCK!

"The godfathers of UK hard rock, alongside Sabbath, Purple and Priest. Live and on record: UFO simply rock." 10/10- Musipedia Of Metal

"the best UFO album of the Vinnie Moore era"- Martin Popoff/Bravewords

"A Conspiracy Of Stars lead off track 'The Killing  Kind' is everything you want from UFO in the 21st century: meaty without being indigestible, anthemic without being cheesy, seductive without being undignified. There are a few bands out there who could learn a lesson from them"- Classic Rock magazine

"solid, energetic, sounds much better than a lot of what they recorded after 70s." 4 stars- Rolling Stone

"A Conspiracy of Stars never falters and it's telling of UFO's doggedness in modern times that needs this kind of reminder of what damned fine hard rock sounds like." Rating 8.5/10- Blabbermouth.net

Reactions like that will inspire us to make the next album even better.

While on a busy tour, there's little time for sightseeing. However I was lucky enough to have a day off in Ulm, Germany. I visited the Ulmer Münster, a church with the highest steeple in the world. Impressive and beautiful in architecture, so rich in history. The view from the top is breathtaking! If you ever visit Ulm, I highly (no pun intended) recommend it.

While back at home between tours, OF EARTH started tracking our third record. The new songs stand up tall to the material on our first two records. The band has grown immensely in our recording abilities, namely our instrument sounds and studio playing. I've never walked out of an OF EARTH session feeling this happy! Grammy winning long-time engineer Tom Camuso is again at the desk and his vast experience is a huge help! We live busy lives, so it'll take awhile until it's finished. Until then enjoy the final songs being released from the second album "The Monarch".
