On the wings of the successful PAINMUSEUM debut "Metal For Life" (See: CDbaby.com/metalmike), Metal Mike Chlasciak (Halford, Testament, Sebastian Bach) delivers fans a special enhanced CD EP featuring 4 tracks including a brand new headbanger "Scars In Black". Included in the enhanced package are animated menus, "Speak The Name" music video, 6 screen savers, photo gallery and a personal message from Metal Mike. A true headbanging statement from a true Heavy Metal band.
Breathtaking musician line-up includes Bobby Jarzombek (Halford, Sebastian Bach, Iced Earth), Steve DiGiorgio (Sadus, Testament, Death), Joe Comeau (Overkill, Annihilator, Tad Morose) and Tim Clayborne (Hatred). All tracks were mixed by Roy Z (Judas Priest, Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Helloween). Mastering by James Murphy (Testament, Death, Disincarnate). Art by Darkmouth Design (Hatebreed, Six Feet Under). Part Thrash, part Speed Metal, part straight up Heavy Metal: Metal Mike's PainmuseuM plays it LOUD and PROUD!

METAL MIKE CHLASCIAK is most commonly known as the guitarist who helped JUDAS PRIEST Frontman ROB HALFORD reclaim and hold his status as the true Metal God. Metal Mike wrote, performed and toured behind the band's 3 album deep history with Sanctuary Records. Halford has toured the world several times over with Iron Maiden, Queensryche and many more. Memorable stops included a 2000 sold-out date at New York's Madison Square Garden and Rock In Rio III 2001 Festival with 350,000 people in attendance. In 2004, Metal Mike also provided lead guitar duties for Bay Area Thrash legends TESTAMENT and has more recently joined forces with SEBASTIAN BACH, the voice of multi platinum SKID ROW. Sebastian Bach featuring Metal Mike has supported GUNS N' ROSES on the "Chinese Democracy" World Tour. Returning to the arena stages of the world and crowned with another sold-out night at Madison Square Garden in 2006, Metal Mike holds his firm fist on the guitar throne of the new millenium.
