BARREN CROSS 'Is Officially 100% Back'

May 29, 2008

Vocalist Michael Drive (a.k.a. Mike Lee) of the Christian metal band BARREN CROSS has issued the following update (excerpts only):

"First and foremost; I am happy to announce: BARREN CROSS is officially, 100% BACK!

"There has been great healing done in the band, and we are being raised up to an entirely new level. We are back in form and are out there performing again!

"BARREN CROSS is not just 'talking' about it, but we have now, as of this last week, officially decided to record a brand new full-length album! Inspiration like never before has already begun; we have already started writing for it! As a writer and the lead singer since our inception in 1983, I can feel it already; this is going to be, by far, the best BARREN CROSS album ever put out. I would like to add that the table is now open for any offers from producers and studios who would like to be involved with us. This is going to be greater than anything we have ever done.

"It is very possible that I will be embarking on a two-month 'solo unplugged' tour of the United States either this fall or winter. Right now is a period of time when the venues have the opportunity to get an 'MD' show booked, and following this period, when there are enough venues booked, we will be contacting all of them to schedule the dates. This is where you come in: I'm asking you to contact whoever you know that might be interested in having me perform, whether it's your church, club, or other. If you want to help with this, please contact 'KJ' who is specifically handling this tour: [email protected].

"In case you don't know, in the modern rock genre, I have been doing solo albums and performances, both solo-unplugged, OR with a band: mostly in Europe in the recent years, as I was based in Paris, France; but also in the U.S., where I am now based, in Hollywood, CA; the land of my childhood.

"For those of you who don't know, on June 26, 2006, I had a very powerful encounter with God, and a radical transformation that followed. It's the most incredible thing that ever happened to me. If you would like to read about this, you can find it here."
