ALEX MASI: New Solo Album To Feature Former YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Drummer

September 18, 2006

Lion Music has set an October 27 release date for the new album from guitarist Alex Masi, entitled "Late Night At Desert Rimrock". The CD also features Masi's MCM bandmate and former YNGWIE MALMSTEEN/ARK drummer John Macaluso.

The music on "Late Night At Desert Rimrock" is described in a press release "a wild musical ride with no specific goal other than 'music' itself. The title may conjure up images of irrational, rabid, hallucinogenic, exploring drumming and guitar playing and this is indeed how Alex Masi himself describes the music."

"Late Night At Desert Rimrock" may initially shock fans of Masi's neo-classical output, but fans of Masi's guitar work will revel in the musicianship. Alex comments, "The new material has no regard for what's expected of me musically. This album is probably the closest representation musically of where my head is at right now."

The album in total took a couple of years to complete, with other albums and session work delaying things in the meantime. Masi wrapped up the album in May 2006.
