Freedom Conspiracy, the second collaborative album between American doom/rock icon, SCOTT “WINO” WEINRICH, and enigmatic German singer/songwriter, CONNY OCHS, is now less than two weeks from worldwide release via Exile On Mainstream Records, and today, Revolver Magazine is hosting a stream of the LP’s overcast lead track, “Drain.”
Living on two different continents does not make it easy for these dear friends to collaborate on their humbling anthems very often, but when it does, pure magic takes place. While CONNY OCHS takes to European clubs with Spring solo gigs, WINO will hit the road solo as well in two weeks, providing opening support for Black Label Society, both taking with them their own solo works as well as anthems from their impending Freedom Conspiracy collaborative LP. While the thirteen diverse tracks of Freedom Conspiracy fluctuate between tear-inducing ballads reflecting the worst of personal times, as well as slightly more upbeat jams about life on the road, “Drain” rides the fine line right between both artists’ styles coalescing in an undeniably gloomy outlook, but exclaims the desperation for better days with its powerful melodies. Both OCHS and WINO‘s unmistakable voices ride atop the dueling acoustic guitar-driven foundation, the track void of percussion, and writhing with raw human emotion.
Tune in to Revolver Magazine and check out WINO & CONNY OCHS’ powerful “Drain” now at THIS LOCATION.
Freedom Conspiracy‘s “Timeless Spirit” is also playing at The Obelisk RIGHT HERE, and the album’s “Shards” at Classic Rock Magazine HERE.

WINO & CONNY OCHS‘ Freedom Conspiracy boasts thirteen anthems of top-tier contemporary Americana, tales of regret, love, loss and redemption come alive through the dynamic dual guitarist and singer/songwriter approach of these two iconic artists.

Fusing acoustic and electric guitars and with both artists’ standout vocal styles searing through these thirteen well-crafted brand new hymns, the album delivers forty-five minutes of some of the most refined, dynamic and unforgettable folk/rock music in years.
