A culmination of thousands of cities toured and millions of records sold... current and former Members of Candlebox, Sevendust, Black Label Society and The Infinite Staircase have come together to form a new project.

Kevin Martin (Candlebox), Morgan Rose (Sevendust), Nick Catanese (ex-Black Label Society), Adam Kury (Candlebox) and Lenny Cerzosie (The Infinite Staircase) have decided to build off long-time relationships, past musical collaborations as well as co-inhabited tours and start something new. The group begins recording their first EP next week.

The initial concept for this project began in 2013 when Martin, Rose and Cerzosie released a single to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy called "The Pride" with Cerzosie's band The Infinite Staircase. Also featured on the track are Black Label Society's Zakk Wylde and John "JD" DeServio. The song spent 6 weeks in the American Mainstream Rock Radio Top 40 Charts, peaking at #27.

The musicians gelled so well that talk began early on of future collaborations. With everyone's ever-changing schedules, it almost seemed impossible, that is, until a few months ago when the Cerzosie brothers reached out to everyone with a common break in schedules coinciding mid-May. With a brief break in Sevendust's current tour schedule, Candlebox finally lightening their dates after their very successful 20th Anniversary Tour and Nick Catanese having just announced Lenny Cerzosie as the singer of his first new project since leaving Black Label Society at the end of 2013, everything finally fell into place.

Though the band has no name yet, much more information promises to come out of next week's recording sessions. Updates to follow.
