JUDAS PRIEST's DOWNING, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Guest On VIOLENT STORM Debut

May 16, 2005

JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing and Yngwie Malmsteen are the featured guests on the upcoming debut album from VIOLENT STORM, the new band formed by YNGWIE MALMSTEEN/ex-BLACKMORE'S NIGHT bassist Mick Cervino. The CD will be released in Japan on May 25 via King Records. The Taiwanese release will take place on June 1 via Rock Empire Music. Rock Empire recently released Mick Cervino's "Ostinato" bass solo album in Taiwan.

As previously reported, VIOLENT STORM's debut album features lead vocals by Matt Reardon. Hailing from the U.S., Reardon's roots are said to be in "metal, grunge and rock and roll of today." His "deep and unadulterated raw powerful baratone vocals can be heard on over 60 soundtracks to date worldwide. He has also toured in Europe with his former band as guests for acts such as QUEENSRŸCHE, SAXON, IN EXTREMO and Steven Adler of GUNS N' ROSES." The group's sound is described as "a sonic barrage of stunning vocals, ripping guitars, relentless bass, and pounding drums, anchored around solid songwriting you won't soon forget."
