Former EUROPE Guitarist KEE MARCELLO Resurfaces With K2

April 30, 2004

K2, the new band led by former EUROPE guitarist Kee Marcello, will release their debut album, "Melon Demon Divine", on June 17 through Frontiers Records.

As a member of EUROPE, Kee recorded two highly successful albums ("Out of This World" and "Prisoners In Paradise") and did three world tours including the one in support of the release of "The Final Countdown".

"Melon Demon Divine" is the first result of Kee Marcello's new venture into recording and producing at his newly built studio, GEM Recording.

Described as a heavily guitar-oriented metal album, "Melon Demon Divine" reportedly combines heavy riffs with grooves and strong songs with the signature melodic solo playing of Kee.

The official line-up of K2 is Kee on guitars and vocals, Snowy Shaw (KING DIAMOND, DREAM EVIL) on drums and Ken Sandin (ALIEN, TRANSPORT LEAGUE) on bass (bass on the CD is played by Klaatu).

Audio samples of all the cuts can be heard at Kee's official web site.

The instrumental version of "Raptor", featured on the soundtrack to the U.S. motion picture "Blood Shot", and "Can I Be The One", co-written with tennis star Niklas Kroon (the Tennis Masters Cup official theme song),are bonus tracks exclusive on the European version of the CD.
