Rik Emmett & RESolution9 to release their electrifying new album RES 9 worldwide on November 11th, 2016, via Mascot Label Group. RES 9 features contributions from Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie, and Rik Emmett’s onetime Triumph bandmates, bassist Mike Levine and drummer Gil Moore.

Lend an ear to the track “End Of The Line” featuring James LaBrie and Alex Lifeson here:

Here’s the Monster Riff-Rock ‘epic’ album finale, with special guest vocalist James LaBrie of DT rippin’ it, as only he can:  and Alex Lifeson of Rush offering one heroic solo, chock full of Kingly Lerxst-isms.  Killer work from the boys in the band – Dave Dunlop, Steve Skingley, and Paul DeLong – with Paul’s thundering drum fills hammering everything into place at the end.  What a production – what a bee-yatch to mix – kudos to Matt DeMatteo & Dave & Steve-o.  For Those Who Love Guitar Solos – this one is headed straight for your wheelhouse.
