In a recent Interview with SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation” on Tuesday (March 13), Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale called the upcoming album as their best album till date. He said:

“I know that’s clichéd stuff, but I know what I’m talking about. I should do after almost 50 years,” he explained. “It has all the necessary WHITESNAKE elements that I need to call it WHITESNAKE, but with a vibrant, fresh coat of paint. The longest-standing member of WHITESNAKE, Reb Beach, [he and I had] never written together until this project,” he said. “So it’s a family affair. It really is cool. I’m very excited for people to hear it.”
WHITESNAKE filmed a music video for an as-yet-undisclosed song from “Flesh & Blood” this past Saturday, March 10. “I’ve got a few more external shots, other than the band stuff, to feature — some really fun elements,” David said. “It’s a kick-ass song; you’re gonna love it. But there’s gonna some real fun elements paying respect and nod to WHITESNAKE‘s past, but certainly not as dark and as gritty as [WHITESNAKE’s] ‘Burn’ video [from ‘The Purple Album’].”

Coverdale revealed that recording sessions for the new WHITESNAKE album were halted while he recovered from an illness last year. “I got that horrible H3 flu, which took me out for, I think, about six weeks before I started to feel like myself again,” he said. “It was horrifying. It was that strain of flu that the anti-flu vaccination didn’t cover. It was just an evil, evil, evil strain of flu.”
