Every true metal fan is familiar with Metal Mike Chlasciak. He's the ax-man
that brought Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford back to metal. He injected
the
monstrous guitars in the Halford releases Resurrection, Crucible,
and Live
Insurrection. He helped Halford find his way back when he was wallowing
in alternative hell. Beyond that Metal Mike filled in on guitar for 80s thrash
legends Testament and even formed his own group Painmuseum.
When Sebastian Bach finally
decided to release his first solo album of new material (more than a decade
after leaving Skid Row), he sought out just the right guitarist. Now a
permanent part of Bach's touring and recording band, Metal Mike has been
tearing it
up from coast to coast and continent to continent in support of Sebastian
Bach's Angel Down album.
