Billboard-charting guitarist, Metal on Ice author and co-producer of the Metal On Ice EP, Sean Kelly (HELIX, NELLY FURTADO, GILBY CLARKE) has announce the official Metal On Ice CD release show, scheduled for Saturday, May 10th at The Opera House in Toronto as part of Canadian Music Week 2014.

"I wrote a book to honour my Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Heroes," says Kelly. "Through the help of our fans and Pledge Music we turned up the volume with an amazing new EP, and now it's time to crank the amps, stack the speakers, and put on the LOUDEST book release party in history! The Metal On Ice concert is going to bring the passion of the book and EP to life through an evening of great songs and killer performances...Get Your Metal On!!!"
