Visualizzazioni post:1127

Il bassista dei Symphony X Mike LePond sta lavorando al suo primo album solista, che verrà pubblicato con il nome di Mike Lepond’s Silent Assassins. Il musicista ha dichiarato:

“It is a heavy metal/power metal record that combines all the influences of my favorite bands from the past and present. It is a full hour of headbanging riffs, kick-ass vocals, and epic tales. There is something in there for any style of metal you enjoy! Metal Mike (Halford, Testament) is on lead guitar and Alan Tecchio (Autumn Hour, Watchtower, Hades) is on vocals.”

In merito al processo di songwriting, Mike ha ha aggiunto:

“It’s been an amazing two-year journey. Waking up late at night with melodies pounding in my brain, writing lyrics on coffee stained napkins, and obsessing over riffs for hours like a lunatic! But to see the fruits of my blood, sweat and tears finally come to life makes it all worth it.

This CD is all me. I wrote all the music, and all the lyrics. It is one of the most satisfying things I have ever done and I can’t wait to share it with you.”

LePond ha lanciato una campagna di raccolta fondi (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637412651/mike-leponds-silent-assassins) per raccogliere i 6000 dollari necessari per pagare le registrazioni, il mixaggio ed il mastering dell’album, che dovrebbe essere pubblicato a marzo 2014. Questo il suo commento:

“All donations beyond that will go into the promotion. The more funding I get, the more I can promote. Advertising, distribution, hiring a manager, hiring a public relations firm, merchandising, radio promotion, touring, making videos etc, all require tremendous outlays of money. Anything you donate will be ‘greatly appreciated, and if you can’t donate, please help me spread the word.”
