Peterik’s latest endeavor is a reunion with vocalist Toby Hitchcock for the new Pride of Lions album, Immortal.
I spoke with Peterik and got his thoughts not only on Immortal, but also the iconic song he co-wrote 30 years ago.
They actually wanted me to make a new record a few years ago, but I wasn’t ready at the time.
I had just completed the Crossroads Moment album with Jimi Jamison, and my juices were just gone for that direction.
I got into doing Lifeforce (my smooth jazz project) just as sort of a respite from melodic rock.
Frontiers' initial plan was to have me release a record and then they were going to do a Toby [Hitchcock] album.
I asked them to do it the other way around and by that time I’d be ready. »
