In The Spring Of 2010 Vanderbuyst Recorded Their First Full Length Album. Again They Worked With Pieter G. Kloos At The VOID-Studio. On This Album They Continued With The No Frills Approach Used On The EP. This Way Of Working Contributed To The Much Appreciated And Today Often Missing ‘straight In Your Face’ Sound. Two Of The Seven Tracks Were Recorded Live At The Studio Including A Cover Of UFO’s Masterpiece “Rock Bottom”. The Self-Titled Vanderbuyst Album Was Released In October 2010 On The German Label Ván Records And Is Available Both On Vinyl In Black Transparent And Purple Editions And CD. As With The EP This Album Was Acclaimed By The Music Press And Even Rewarded With A 9/10 In Europe’s Leading Rock Magazine ‘Rock Hard’. Meanwhile Vanderbuyst Have Earned An Excellent Live Reputation.
