I'm quite fortunate to be jumping head-first into a metal project with an extraordinary guitarist songwriter named Craig Church, and his guitarist son Alex. We've begun tracking drums and guitars on a series of original metal songs written both by Craig and myself... Some "Old School" metal ... Some "New School... but ALL heavy! No release date is set yet for this album, but I will CERTAINLY keep you all posted! So far though.....
