August 18, 2010, 14 years ago
The new dynamic duo of rock, twin brothers legally named ROCK STAR & SUPER STAR, have teamed up with legendary musicians to create Serenity, the first metal CD dedicated to conveying the importance of sobriety.
Rock Star & Super Star have tapped Grammy Award-winning producer Bob Kulick to help them create and produce this unique project. Members from KISS, HEART, GOO GOO DOLLS, THE RUNAWAYS, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA and many other bands also participated.
“We invited many of our childhood music heroes to collaborate on this project, and they embraced it because they believe in the cause,” said Super Star, who conceived of the CD as part of his recovery from substance abuse. “The fact that we were able to successfully recruit so many icons of metal will help us bring visibility to the story we’re telling.”“Serenity,” which has taken nearly two years to complete, will see a digital release September 1st, just in time to kick off National Recovery Month. A physical release date for the CD will be announced later this fall. A sample of some of the songs has now been posted online and can be heard at here .
“Our goal with the CD is to send a strong message that living a life without drugs and alcohol is the only way to achieve your dreams,” said Rock Star. “Since we know there are kids who would rather listen to music than read a book, we are using music to reach them in the language they understand.”
Joining the fight via guest appearances on the CD are music icons including Cherie Currie (RUNAWAYS), Stevie Rachelle, (TUFF), George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB), Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Carlos Cavazo (QUIET RIOT, RATT), Mark Slaughter (SLAUGHTER), Zak Stevens (SAVATAGE, CIRCLE II CIRCLE), Jon Oliva (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Bruce Kulick (KISS, UNION), Howard Leese (HEART), Bob Kulick (MEAT LOAF), Lorraine Lewis (ex-FEMME FATALE, ROKTOPUSS), David Schultz (GOO GOO DOLLS, BERLIN), Veronica Freeman (BENEDICTUM), Ted Poley (DANGER DANGER), Todd La Torre (CRIMSON GLORY) and of course Rock Star aka Marc Kancler (guitars) and Super Star aka Kris Kancler (drums) and many more.
