Guitarist Ryan Roxie has rejoined Alice Cooper‘s band for the legendary rocker’s upcoming tour.
“I can’t even begin to express how excited I am to have the opportunity to be a part of this year’s touring lineup,” Ryan said. “To be able to contribute musically with Alice and the band, perform for all you faithful Cooper fans, and have the chance to play guitar on stage next to one of rock music’s coolest icons… Well, let’s just say I definitely plan to ‘enjoy the ride’… and yes, just like all good sports-related interview-ending quotes, I also plan on ‘taking it one show at a time’ and giving it ‘110%.”
He added, “I might seem calm and low key on the outside, but inside I’m about as excited and honored to do this as I’ve ever been in my career…
“Let’s jump on that tour bus so we can come out and play for you all [as soon as possible]… Looking forward to seeing all your familiar faces and meeting new ones as well.”
Roxie was previously a member of Alice Cooper‘s band from 1996 to 2006. More recently, he was involved with the groups CASABLANCA and ROXIE 77.
Guitar legend Steve Hunter announced his decision to leave Cooper‘s band last month.

Aaron and Blackdiamond - Hammerfest IV - 2012
When asked about the soon to be released Tragic Idol album, Aaron said – “This is the most work I’ve had to do as a rhythm guitarist since our 1992 Shades Of God album. It’s a very guitar-centric album, very heavy. Some of the songs are among the fastest we have ever done and it’s an album that deserves to be played live.
It’s out 24th anniversary this month and we’re very appreciative of the fact that people are still here listening to us“.

More than a dozen actors were cast for the video, including Collette Von Tora, who agreed to have her head shaved for this video shoot.
MORTAD‘s forthcoming full-length debut album, “The Myth Of Purity”, was recorded last October with producer Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR, EVILE) and is scheduled for an early 2012 release.
MORTAD was formed in 2009 by Iranian vocalist Somi Arian , whose lyrics take aim at the hypocrisy of religion and the government as well as seeking inner truth and strength in the face of such oppression.
MORTAD released a music video and an EP, entitled “Pandemic Paranoia”, in early 2011. This effort brought the band immense attention on the social media sites, placing the group as the No. 1 metal band on ReverbNation London metal chart, and attracting over 40,000 Facebook fans.
DJ Blackdiamond of FIREBRAND ROCK RADIO has conducted an interview with vocalist Somi Arian when the band was getting ready to perform at Hammerfest IV. The interview will be published soon on Metal Shock Finland. Stay tuned!
