Red Dragon Cartel recently added former Badlands bassist Greg Chaisson to the fold. He replaces Ron Mancuso, who recently opted to leave the band.
Greg Chaisson originally filled in for Ron Mancuso in March at a Tempe, Arizona concert. In August, Greg Chaisson joined Red Dragon Cartel as Ron Mancuso returned to his production career.
Jake E. Lee is best known for his work in Badlands and as guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne on Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin albums. Red Dragon Cartel also features various guest appearances from some of music’s most notable faces including legendary Cheap Trick vocalist Robin Zander, original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di’Anno, Kill Devil Hill/Pantera bassist Rex Brown, Slash’s Conspirators Todd Kearns and Brent Fitz and In This Moment front woman Maria Brink. The album was produced by Ronnie Mancuso and Jake E. Lee and was executive produced, mixed and mastered by Kevin Churko (In This Moment, Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch).
Red Dragon Cartel's self-titled debut album sold around 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at #69 on The Billboard 200 chart. Released on January 28th via Frontiers Records Srl, the CD was recorded at Las Vegas' The Hideout Recording Studio — owned and operated by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch) — and was produced by R. Bernard Mann (a.k.a. Ronnie Mancuso) and Jake E. Lee, and executive-produced, mixed and mastered by Churko.
