Former ANNIHILATOR Bassist Launches EXES FOR EYES

January 27, 2010

Former ANNIHILATOR touring bassist Dave Sheldon has launched a new project called EXES FOR EYES. Sheldon, who has since reverted back to guitar, has enlisted Montreal vocalist "Big" James Arsenian of the band ENDAST to front the brand new group. Longtime veteran of the GTA music scene, bassist Jeff Edwards, along with Humber College jazz performance graduate and international session drummer Aaron Spink will complete the band's lineup.

Though still in the pre-production stages of its debut album, EXES FOR EYES has released four songs via its social networking sites — "Chains", "Embrace The Fire", "A Horrible Mistake" and "Exes For Eyes".

Comments Dave: "This is a very exciting time for me. Being in ANNIHILATOR has taught me a lot about the next level of the industry…things I was totally oblivious to…" He also credits ANNIHILATOR's leader Jeff Waters as "an inspiration. He's been doing this a really long time and has created a fan base that spans the globe (hard for any band, and extraordinarily hard for a Canadian band). A lot of those people view him as the ultimate guitarist, and to achieve that status while maintaining humility, values and an absolutely epic sense of humour, and well, to achieve half of what he has is something I strive for everyday, and hope to with EXES FOR EYES."

Catch Dave and ANNIHILATOR performing live in front of 30,000 metalheads on ANNIHILATOR's "Live At Masters Of Rock" CD/DVD, filmed/recorded on July 11, 2008 at the Masters Of Rock festival in Vizovice, Czech Republic.
