VIOLENT STORM Bassist Doesn't Rule Out Guest Appearances On Next CD
September 9, 2009VIOLENT STORM — the band formed by ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN/BLACKMORE'S NIGHT bassist Mick Cervino — is in pre-production for a new studio album, to be released in the winter of 2009.
Regarding the possibility of guest musicians appearing on the next VIOLENT STORM CD, Cervino stated, "I don't rule out the participation of guest musicians on the new recording. I may or may not, depending on what the songs want. We are still on the early stages, so we'll see how things flow as the sessions progress. So far the new songs are shaping up with lots of energy and musicality, without compromising in favor of today's substandard trends."
