Commented Maryann: "Wagner is one of my biggest heroes! I have listened to all his stuff with Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, AEROSMITH, KISS, etc., since I was a kid, so it's such a big thing for me to work with him! He has become one of my closest friends over the last few months. We are in very close contact, and are talking every week about the whole thing! We have some big plans and ideas for the future."
The new Maryann Cotton CD will be a full concept album, with "the most terrifying horror story ever," according to a press release. Also set to make a guest appearance on the effort is KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque
