Former touring bassist for Canadian thrash metal veterans ANNIHILATOR, Dave Sheldon, has started a new project - EXES FOR EYES.

The bassist (who has since reverted back to guitar) has enlisted the Montreal vocal juggernaut “BIG” James Arsenian of the band ENDAST, to front the brand new metallic monolith.

Long time veteran of the GTA music scene, bassist Jeff Edwards, along with Humber College Jazz Performance Graduate and international session drummer Aaron Spink will complete the band's lineup.

Though still in the pre-production stages of their debut album, 4 songs have been posted to their social networking sites, including the songs 'Chains', 'Embrace The Fire', 'A Horrible Mistake', and the band’s namesake 'Exes For Eyes'.

Dave says “...and this is a very exciting time for me. Being in Annihilator has taught me a lot about the next level of the industry... things I was totally oblivious to...”, and also credits the group's lead guitarist Jeff Waters as “...an inspiration. He’s been doing this a really long time and has created a fan base that spans the globe (hard for any band, and extraordinarily hard for a Canadian band). A lot of those people view him as the ultimate guitarist, and to achieve that status while maintaining humility, values and an absolutely epic sense of humour, and well, to achieve half of what he has is something I strive for everyday, and hope to with Exes For Eyes."
