EXES FOR EYES Debut To Include TEAR FOR FEARS Cover

August 19, 2010

Dave Sheldon, former touring bassist for Canadian thrash-metal veterans ANNIHILATOR, has started a new project: EXES FOR EYES. The musician, who has since reverted back to guitar, has enlisted the Montreal vocal juggernaut "Big" James Arsenian of the band ENDAST, to front the brand new metallic monolith.

EXES FOR EYES' debut CD, "The Amsler Grid" (release details to be announced),contains a cover song written by one of Britain's most successful pop acts, TEARS FOR FEARS.

Commented Sheldon: "We chose to do a cover not for the sake of lack of original material (as we had 22 original songs to choose from) but as a way to ease people into the sound of EXES FOR EYES. Not only are people framiliar with TEARS FOR FEARS and the track itself, but it leant itself to our sound. So naturally, we though it would be an easy transition for people to get into what it is that we do. It turned out really well."
