SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN'S new Cd "Double Your Pleasure" has been released .
The new SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN proves to be heavier with more jams to satisfy
David's metal and instrumental fans. "This one is heavier than Exotic
Dancer Blues and at the same time has more guitar for the shred heads." The new SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN "Double Your Pleasure" has all of the critics raving. Here are but a few of the hundreds of positive comments:
Carl Begai (Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles):Double Your Pleasure is way better than the first one, and the first one kicked my ass in a major way.
Sue Nolz - (Metal Maniacs): "Chastain is on target. Vocally, David does them proud. He sings with a genuine feel."
Michael Allison - (musicdish.com): "The Rock album of the year." I've heard nothing that even compares. The musicianship is unmistakably top notch.
(Hardradio.com): Three musicians clearly having a blast playing their hearts out.
(Metal Rock News): Chastain's voice has really got stronger over the years and he is fine form here and has a similar tone to Ken Tamplin or Glenn Hughes
If you could keep your eyes closed and just listened to the music, tracks from "Exotic Dancer Blues" were all over the VH1 special "Girls Gone Wild Uncovered."
MICHAEL HARRIS's new instrumental cd "Hurricane X" is now available.!! Michael Harris' fifth solo instrumental release, "Hurricane X", showcases Michael's amazing improvisational abilities and on the fly melodic genius. This Cd was originally recorded as part of the acclaimed Diginet Music Guitar Masters series but all parties agreed that this Cd needed to reach a much larger audience and that could only be accomplished by a full fledge commercial release. The guitar series provided each guitarist with the same bass and drum tracks, played by David T. Chastain and Mike Haid respectively, and then each player added his own unique parts over the rhythm tracks.
MICHAEL HARRIS "HURRICANE X" four words that should once again prove to the world that this mighty player has few equals in the world of modern guitardom.
THE REIGN OF TERROR, featuring vocalist Mike Vescera and guitarist Joe Stump, monumental Cd "Conquer and Divide" is still selling briskly. Once again providing the bass and drums are Jay Rigney and Matt Scurfield (both from Event). Joining the band on keyboards as a special guest is Mats Olausson. Joe promised the Cd would be "Heavier and more aggressive" than the previous Reign of Terror Cds and the band did not disappoint. Some of Joe's most amazing playing to date. Already out on Leviathan Records, Marquee in Japan and Rock Brigade in South America. In 2003 it will be out on Lion Music in Europe, Cd Maximum in Russia, OZ/Scarecrow in Mexico and Magnum in Taiwan!
DAVID T. CHASTAIN has proved once again he is at the top of the guitar world on the all instrumental Cd titled 'ROCK SOLID GUITAR' that has just been released.

VAINGLORY is a new band featuring guitarist Corbin King, Vocalist Ted Brasier (X-Liquid Nation), Drummer Brian Harris (Zanister, Kenziner) and Bassist Kevin Kekes (Chastain).

VAINGLORY are also in the studio working on their follow up to "2050." Band leader/guitarist Corbin King says "I am really excited about furthering the sound of band into a monster second release. The new stuff really sounds killer." No firm release date has been set on this new Cd but an early 2004 release is most likely. A special surprise singer is currently laying down the vocals. More info on this collaboration in the next news letter. Fast, heavy and furious is a fair description of the musical direction of the new Cd..
