June 2, 2008, 16 years ago
STYGIA, the band featuring vocalist Mike Vescera (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, LOUDNESS, OBSESSION), have issued the following update from leader Todd Seitz:
"I am very excited to announce that Mercyful Fate guitarist Hank Shermann will be recording a guest solo on the upcoming Stygia album. Mercyful Fate has played a huge role in my development as a guitar player and composer. It will be an honor to have Hank contribute his unique guitar sound to the album.Hank is now working on his new solo project DEMONICA. Be sure to check up on it as I'm sure it will be some brutal material!
In other news, we will start the drum recording session on June 14th. It's sure to be some insane work with John on the drums. I'll hopefully have some video updates posted after the sessions. Chris McCarvill will be on tour during most of the albums recording, so I will soon be announcing his replacement for the bass recording. It's sure to be a big surprise!!!"
The band recently announced that their new line-up now includes: keyboardist Mats Olausson (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen), bassist Chris McCarvill (HOUSE OF LORDS, ex-JEFF SCOTT SOTO BAND), guitarist Todd Seitz (Stygia mainman) and drummer John Macaluso (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, ARK, TNT).
Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
