Vocalist / keyboardist Anton Darusso states: “It's a new step for the band, we are adding a new explosive ingredient, though it can be considered as a certain risk by adding already established name in our ranks, I am sure our fans and followers will embrace this new line-up and we will bring even more attention to everything we do. We are a bunch of musical war dogs, ready to hit the stage. Absolute power and renaissance, finesse & aggressiveness. It will certainly be a blast for everyone.”

David Shankle states: “My metal brothers in Wings Of Destiny are a mega-shredding arsenal of music close to my heart. After collaborating on 'Rise Above' we were all excited about joining forces to create a new unique metal machine. My composing and shreding style fit perfectly into this musical force, and I can't wait to bring this demonic sound of power, speed and aggressive intensity live to metal fans everywhere.”
