Ex-MEGADETH Guitarist CHRIS POLAND Guests On LION_DROME Single

November 27, 2012

Guitarist extrordinaire Chris Poland (MEGADETH, DAMN THE MACHINE, OHM:) contributes a nearly 90-second outro solo to the extended version of alt-rockers LION_DROME's first single, "Curve Of The Earth". The track proceeds an expected full release by LION_DROME in 2013.

LION_DROME is a new project from lead guitarist Mike Lopez, a former member of GASHEAD, one of Colorado's premier thrash and instrumental bands which existed between 2003 and 2012. In 2010, GASHEAD released a single called "Skeletal", which also featured Poland's considerable talents.

LION_DROME sees Lopez continuing his lead duties but also stepping in on lead vocals for the first time. The project's musical direction is closer to the modern/alt rock of U2, JEFF BUCKLEY, PORCUPINE TREE, RADIOHEAD and THE CARS. Hard rock and metal sensibilities remain in the guitar solos, with nods to Joe Satriani, George Lynch, Jeff Beck and James Mankey (CONCRETE BLONDE).
