Anselmo & The Illegals) have teamed up to record a six-song EP, The Uprising. It will be released on June 23rd through Montazeri's own Crunchy Western Records imprint.
The tracklist is as follows:
"11"
"Monster Within"
"The Uprising"
"Without Warning"
"Who Is Alive"
"Viento Del Espíritu"
Montazeri comments on how the partnership cane to be:
"A while ago I was asked to play a couple of solos on the Judas Priest tribute album Hell Bent Forever and the track was 'Exciter'. When I arrived, Tim was walking out of the vocal booth for the evening. I was blown away by his performance and personality. He's a super-cool and funny dude. So when it came to this EP where I knew I wanted a powerful metal vocalist, I just made a call to him and here we are with some original music."
