Also just out is the CHASTAIN "The 7th & The Voice." This release is a remastered, repackaged, reissue of the classic CHASTAIN albums "The 7th of Never" and "The Voice of the Cult" on one Cd. Both albums featured the studio lineup of David T. Chastain on guitar, Leather on vocals, Mike Skimmerhorn on bass and Ken Mary on drums. Both true metal classics.
The Corbin King "DESTINATION" Cd has turned heads in the guitar community with his overall guitar mastery. CORBIN came to worldwide notice with his blistering guitar work on the critically acclaimed VAINGLORY "2050" release. He was proclaimed "One of the most exciting new young guitarists in years."
Blending influences from diverse styles such as traditional metal to shred metal to heavy blues rock, Corbin's dominant guitar is truly astounding. For additional info go to: https://www.leviathanrecords.com/corbinkingd.htm
FIREWIND is currently in the studio finishing up their new Cd, tentatively titled "Forged By Fire." Last year's "Burning Earth" Cd is still receiving rave reviews. The band's new vocalist on this Cd is Chity Somapala, formerly of Avalon/Faro. Band leader/guitarist Gus G is acting as producer and the Cd will once again be mixed by metal legend Fredrik Nordstrom.
Early listens promises an amazing Cd. Look for a late 2004 release.

In regards to former Firewind/Kenziner vocalist Stephen Fredrick, he has just completed a devastating new Cd with guitarist Corbin King (Vainglory/Corbin King), drummer Stian Kristoffersen (Pagan's Mind/Firewind) and bassist James Martin (Zanister).
Producer David T. Chastain comments: "Corbin and Stephen basically live in the same part of Atlanta and I had to get them into a band together for both logistical and talent reasons. I knew if we combined Corbin's heavy riffs with Stephen's unique melodic power vocals that the end results would be major. I was not disappointed. More info to follow soon!!
SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN are currently recording their follow up to "Double Your Pleasure." The tracks are smoking and seem more in line with the band's debut release of "Exotic Dancer Blues." A little less extended jamming and more songs. Cd should be released in early 2005.
