TAINTED NATION Adds Second Guitarist

March 27, 2013

U.K.-based modern hard rockers TAINTED NATION have announced the addition of guitarist Joel Peters (FURY) to the group's ranks.

Commented TAINTED NATION drummer Mark Cross: "We'd like to introduce to you and welcome Joel Peters, former guitarist of the band FURY, to the TAINTED NATION family.

"Since we started rehearsing and playing live with the band, we realized how important a second guitar was, especially for our live performances. We had Joel along since day one, but recently invited him to become a member Joel is an extremely gifted guitar player and great singer and brings a fourth dimension to our setup. Joel will be on tour with us. See you all soon!"

TAINTED NATION is:

Pete Newdeck (EDEN'S CURSE) - Vocals
Mark Cross (FIREWIND, HELLOWEEN) - Drums
Pontus Egberg (THE POODLES) - Bass
Ian Nash (LIONSHEART) - Guitar
Joel Peters (FURY) - Guitar

TAINTED NATION's debut album, "F.E.A.R.", was made available on January 25 via Massacre Records. The CD was produced by Pete Newdeck and mixed/mastered by Dennis Ward.

Newdeck, who is mostly known for his work with EDEN'S CURSE and bands like GRIM REAPER, KILLERS and Steve Grimmett, started writing songs with bandmate and friend Ian Nash, who also played guitar for Grimmett, in 2009.

While with EDEN'S CURSE and supporting STRATOVARIOUS and FIREWIND in May 2009 on their U.K. tour, Pete and then-FIREWIND drummer Mark Cross became close friends and discussed the idea of forming a new band, only this time with Newdeck as the lead singer.

Newdeck's vocal abilities were truly convincing and in the spring of 2010, Pontus Egberg, bass player for Swedish hard rockers THE POODLES, completed the lineup.

Newdeck, Nash, Cross and Egberg recorded the TAINTED NATION debut album in the U.K. and mixed and mastered it in Germany under the supervision of Dennis Ward, producer of many successful international artists.

TAINTED NATION's music is described in a press release as "a commercial, modern and powerful-sounding rock mix."
