'METAL' MIKE CHLASCIAK To Guest At PAUL GREEN'S SCHOOL OF ROCK

July 6, 2009

Guitarist "Metal" Mike Chlasciak (HALFORD, PAINMUSEUM) will be a special guest instructor during the Summer Boot Camp program currently offered at Paul Green's School Of Rock. This will be a one-day-only event taking place on August 3, 2009 at the Charry Hill, New Jersey location. Please note that this event is open only to the School Of Rock students.

"I am happy to come down, bring my flying Vs and talk music with all the young rockers and metallers at the school," stated Mike. "Sounds like a good time. We'll crank up some amps, share stories and tear up a few riffs. I'll be also playing some tracks from my upcoming 'The Metalworker' album — so one thing is for sure: we'll have a fill of loud music that day. I'm very much looking forward to it."

School Of Rock's Summer Boot Camps are ideal programs for musicians ages 7-18 who want an immersive summer day camp experience. Students spend one to two full weeks working in a hands-on atmosphere honing their performance and ensemble expertise as well as learning valuable music industry-related skills.

Chlasciak recently entered the studio to begin recording his new solo album, titled "The Metalworker". Nine tracks are being completed for the effort, which is being described by Mike as "a record that I simply needed to make." Songtitles set to appear on "The Metalworker" include "On Leather Wings", "Tonight We Ride" and "Don't Shoot The Crown".

Mike's first studio video diary entry can be viewed below.

Metal Mike's last album under the PAINMUSEUM moniker, "You Have The Right To Remain Violent", was released in 2006 via C.M.M. Entertainment. The follow-up to 2005's "Metal For Life" (C.M.M./ Demolition) was a special-edition enhanced CD release that included bonus material as well as music video, gallery and a special message from Mike.

Mike last year concluded a U.S. trek as a sideman axe-slinger for ex-SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach. Bach played the sheds and arenas last summer with DOKKEN and POISON on the "Live, Raw & Uncut" tour.
