Very cool.  I am oh so curious about the Seattle connection since that is my old stomping grounds...

SEVEN RAVENS

Seven Ravens is a brand new project, based on the songs of James LePak and Scott Bazzett, mixed by Pete Newdeck, mastered by Harry Hess, and executed by an impressive all-star cast...

Listening to this one while working on the main site this afternoon; good stuff!

A more metallic version of what Jaded Heart were doing before Bormann left back in the 00s...

I also just realized that alpha posted this which makes sense since he is the only Ravens fan, but c'mon 7 Ravens... 1 is 1 too many.

Do you get the feeling this will be one of those one-and-done projects ala Frontiers frequent all-star bands, or is this a real band?

SEVEN RAVENS is a project put together by James LePak and myself. We wrote all the songs (we have been writing together for a long time) and I reached out to a bunch of musicians to play on the album. We are going to try to do at least one more, but not sure if we will have the same musicians or not yet. There are a few other bassists and drummers I was interested in contacting. It would be tough to find another singer I like as much as Bormann these days (but I am open to suggestions  )
