Lance King, former vocalist of Pyramaze and Balance Of Power, will release his solo LP A Moment In Chiros on November 11, 2011 through Nightmare Records. [Artwork pictured left and tracklist is below].
The official press release reads: “Etheric Progressive Power Metal from the former voice of Pyramaze, Balance Of Power, for fans of Redemption, Dream Theater and Symphony X with a nod at greats Led Zeppelin. “Lance King is world renowned in the underground as a melodic metal vocalist, singing on over 25 worldwide releases over the last 21 years.
This fact is impressive in itself, but what is truly special about Lance is his ability to morph his voice to fit any mood and intensity of a song, he’s proved this over the years by adding a very “special something” to every album he has been a part of.
“Said to have the golden touch, Lance’s voice just seems to connect the dots making head banging metal also into a good song.
“On the last day of June, 2011 Lance decided to invite some of his musical friends to co-write songs with him as he ventured into his first solo album. An act of faith only knowing their work, never working with them before in creating music. In just two months, those involved had created an epic masterpiece, quite a feat indeed based on the quality of this release.
“In under three months, “A Moment In Chiros” was mixed and mastered and off to the presses, perhaps the fasted created music in history? This album was meant to be out by 11/11/11 and is destined to stand the test of time.
“The album’s concept is based on the 11:11 time prompt phenomena happening to over 75 million people around the world, Lance is one of these people, and has dived in deep to find more about what it’s all about. This album is one man’s journey as a seeker of truth looking for answers to the world’s greatest mysteries.
