In the tradition set on previous LORD VOLTURE albums, which featured guest appearances by Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR) and Sean Peck (CAGE), the band have found ex-MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland willing to lend his shredding skills for some seriously enhanced metal on the band’s new album “Will To Power”. On the “The Great Blinding” track he entangles with Paul Marcelis and Leon Hermans into a mind boggling twin-guitar attack covering the last one and a half minutes of the song.
Chris Poland says: “LORD VOLTURE is my guilty pleasure. I am always playing OHM: type music as of late so when I got this chance to sit in with a band as heavy as LORD VOLTURE I said hell yeah!”
Paul Marcelis (LORD VOLTURE) says: “I guess all musicians have one or more personal ‘heroes’, musicians who they consider a huge inspiration, whose skill and style form a point on the horizon to strive for. For me Chris Poland is such an example. To this day I still get goosebumps whenever I hear his solos on the three MEGADETH albums he played on, so obviously I’m more than stoked that he now has lent his talent to the new LORD VOLTURE album. It is truly a dream come true!”
LORD VOLTURE’s “Will To Power” album is due for release on 12th September 2014 on Mausoleum Records. The artwork was done by Didier Scohier (HADES, PHANTOM-X) and Anne Hermans. The album itself was recorded/produced by Bart Hennephof (TEXTURES) and Yuma van Eekelen (PESTILENCE, RENTAP) at Split Second Sound Studio, Amsterdam, and Final Focus Studio, Tilburg, the Netherlands, mixed by Stephen van Haestregt (WITHIN TEMPTATION, AMBEON) and mastered by Peer Rave at Swamp Studio, Raamsdonk, the Netherlands.

The album thunders through the global metal community and reviewers worldwide count the album among the best releases of 2011.
