KING DIAMOND's ANDY LA ROCQUE TO Guest On DISASTERPEACE Debut

July 21, 2008

DISASTERPEACE, the new band featuring singer Wade Black (CRIMSON GLORY, SEVEN WITCHES, LEASH LAW, BLACK REIGN, LEATHERWOLF),former KING DIAMOND guitarist master Pete Blakk, and bassist Hal Patino (KING DIAMOND),has completed work on its debut album at guitarist Andy La Rocque's (KING DIAMOND) Sonic Train studio in Varberg, Sweden. The CD was produced by Andy and Pete and features a guest appearance by La Rocque on the track "Hallowed Death".

Commented Hal:" This is [by] far the hardest and heaviest [material] I've [done] for a long time."

DISASTERPEACE's CD is tentatively due in September/October.

DISASTERPEACE recently posted three songs on its MySpace page. Check out the tracks "Judas Witch", "The Scarecrow" and "Blood to Blood" at this location.

Black previously stated about DISASTERPEACE: "Pete came out and took the stage with BLACK REIGN on September 29 [2007] and before the set was done we both knew that this collaboration could not and would not end with one gig. The only choice we had was to unite our metal visions under one name, and that name is DISASTERPEACE. This band will be everything we've been and everything we've wanted to be as musicians, songwriters, and performers."

Black added, "It's a total thrill to be working with a legendary guitarist like Pete Blakk. Anyone who knows metal knows the awesome work Pete did with KING DIAMOND, but when you hear where he's coming from now, you will be blown away and blown to pieces!"

As to what DISASTERPEACE would sound like, Wade offered: "Brutal. A skull-pounding, headbanging assault, but with a twist: we're not turning our backs on melodies or choruses. Melodic aggression at its finest!"
