Ratt guitarists Warren De Martini and Carlos Cavazo were recently in Virginia to complete guitar tracks and solos for the new Ratt release. It's been (10) years since the last Ratt studio album (CD) and the band is back to it's original way and format of Ratt music circa 1983-1985. Stephen will start on lead vocals most likely after the Ratt/Extreme shows for the (12) songs recorded."

Says Pearcy: "This music is exactly what's expected, and a whole lot more! This is Ratt music at it's best".

The band writing together without any outside writers, (the best Ratt songs came from the band members) and this time Ratt music will do the talking. It kicks fuckin' ass!"

The new Ratt release will be produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who's credits include PUDDLE OF MUD, CHEVELLE, SALIVA, LIMP BIZKIT, ALTER BRIDGE, THREE DAYS GRACE to name a few. The band have been recording in Mathews, Virginia, the first time outside of Los Angeles to record a Ratt record in 20-plus years.
