Former KING DIAMOND Drummer, Ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Singer Join Forces In New Project

May 27, 2005

Drummer Snowy Shaw (DREAM EVIL, MEMENTO MORI, NOTRE DAME, KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE) has released more information about his upcoming project with singer Mats Levén (AT VANCE, ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, TREAT). As previously reported, Shaw and Levén will begin demoing material at the end of May.

In an e-mail to BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Shaw commented, "Mats and I really clicked and it turned out we very much shared the same musical preferences. After he turned down the offer to replace the singer in another band I'm in, the two of us decided to form something new on our own. We've been writing a lot of material and will start demoing some stuff shortly."

Shaw's video for the track "XXX – Le Masochiste" has been posted online in the "Downloads" section of his official web site, SnowyShaw.com.

Directed by Snowy, Rob Nasty and Dixxie for White Trash Inc., "XXX – Le Masochiste" is described by Shaw as "a little glimpse of what's to come" from his forthcoming solo project.
