Former PILEDRIVER Guitarist Plotting His Next Move

June 3, 2009

Former THE EXALTED PILEDRIVER (a.k.a. PILEDRIVER) guitarist Kinky Pork Cream (real name: Mark Anthony) has issued the following update:

"I've been taking some time to think about what my next step is going to be after leaving such an awesome and well-respected band. I figured some thought was required.

"A lot of people have asked me if I plan to join another metal band or if I plan on starting something new. To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I'm open to both ideas at the moment, but I've decided to give myself the summer to think it over. By late August I feel I will come to a decision, but as I've learned through the years, sometimes things happen when you least expect it. In the meantime, I've just about finished writing the rough versions of the songs that I will be recording for my solo album later this summer. I'm shooting for 10 songs, some instrumental and the others with vocals. And yes, it will be METAL!! Very thrashy, prog-ish and melodic. I think I will also have various singers that I like sing on different songs. I will give you more info as I start to record.

"Also we are about 3/4 way done in recording the new NASTY BLACK CD called 'The Party's Just Begun' which will be coming out on Retrospect Records. The songs should very cool. They have a very party-ish L.A feel to them...sort of old MÖTLEY CRÜE. After the release we plan on playing various shows, in Canada and the USA.

"So that's all for now. Like I said, expect to hear a lot of news by August on what's going to happen. I look forward to the future."

THE EXALTED PILEDRIVER's first album in 22 years, "Metal Manifesto", was released on November 18, 2008. The CD was mixed by veteran Neil Kernon (CANNIBAL CORPSE, NEVERMORE) and it follows up the classic cult discography of the band: "Metal Inquisition" (1985) and "Stay Ugly" (1986).
