Ex-STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Guitarist Joins Forces With Former MALEVOLENT CREATION Drummer

December 21, 2010

Guitarist/vocalist Jed Simon (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, TENET, ZIMMER'S HOLE) and drummer Justin DiPinto (INSATANITY, MALEVOLENT CREATION, PYREXIA) have joined forces with two members of the American death/thrash metal band VICIOUS CIRCLE — Vinny DiBianca on guitar and Mel Leach on bass — to form a brand new, as-yet-unnamed new project.

The first photo of the new group can be viewed below.

TENET's debut album, "Sovereign", was released in Europe on July 20, 2009 via Century Media Records. The brainchild of Simon, the band's most recent recording lineup featured such illustrious musicians as Steve "Zetro" Souza (EXODUS) on vocals, Glen Alvelais (FORBIDDEN, TESTAMENT) on lead guitar, Byron Stroud (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, FEAR FACTORY) on bass and Gene Hoglan (DEATH, DARK ANGEL, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) on drums. The CD was mixed by Vincent Wojno (MACHINE HEAD, KREATOR, TROUBLE) and mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY). The artwork was created by Travis Smith (OPETH, DEATH, NEVERMORE).
