Album Notes

METAL MIKE CHLASCIAK most commonly known as the guitarist who helped JUDAS PRIEST singer ROB HALFORD reclaim and hold statue as the True Metal God, strikes again with a superb album full of incredible riffs, memorable songs and attitude. PAINMUSEUM's Metal For Life album slashes and scars the current flavor of the month Heavy Metal scene. Metal For Life features Top-Notch Metal talent and brilliant production that easily cuts through the grease. As a member of Rob Halford's HALFORD, Metal Mike wrote, recorded and toured behind the group's 3 album deep history with Sanctuary Records Group. From stadiums around the world to sold-out date at the world's most famous arena Madison Square Garden, HALFORD has toured the world several times over along IRON MAIDEN, QUEENSRYCHE and many more. Metal Mike proved that drive, dedication and charisma is what it ultimately takes to be on top of the Metal genre. In 2004, Metal Mike has provided lead guitar duties with Bay Area thrash Titans TESTAMENT and has more recently joined SEBASTIAN BACH, the voice of multi platinum SKID ROW for a non stop treck of the world. Starting in 2005 the band has visited close to 15 countries and has delivered the goods on the GUNS N' ROSES "Chinese Democracy" North American and European tour. The tour brought Metal Mike back to the arenas and stadiums around the world, this time also stopping for a sold-out night at New York's Madison Square Garden. Still, not loosing sight of his own endeavor, Metal Mike already delivered us another PAINMUSEUM offering "You Have The Right To Remain Violent (See: CDBaby.com/metalmike2), an enhanced CD EP. But what you have here is the band's acclaimed debut record. PAINMUSEUM's Metal For Life album is the ultimate answer to the art of solid memorable songwriting, ripping guitar assault and a breathtaking musician line up that reads like who's who of Metal talent. Metal For Life is timeless Metal that's played LOUD & PROUD!
