Said Maryann: “The album will consist of 11 old school garage rock songs, combined with a brutal and dirty rhythm sections, to the most beautiful orchestra arrangements.”

Blakk, Hal Patino and Shaw are also expected to be part of Cotton‘s touring band, which will begin playing shows in the fall.

Maryann Cotton‘s career was launched in 2006 when he performed live on Danish TV as part of the “Scenen Er Din” program (Danish version of “Star Search”).

King Diamond stated about Maryann‘s Shock Me” single (which also featured appearances by La Rocque, Blakk, Hal Patino and Shaw), “I checked out the Maryann Cotton song ‘Shock Me’. I really liked it. It reminded me in a positive way of Alice Cooper 1971. I think his vocals fit really well in the music, and the few backing vocals he did seemed to make everything sound a lot bigger. Normally horn sections really give me the creeps, but the way they used it in this song, I didn’t mind. Great musicians, of course. I really look forward to hear more songs from him, so I can begin to get the full picture.” Source: Blabbermouth.net
