(first ever solo release of Mike LePond from Symphony X)
Release: September 29th on UDR / Warner
Introducing, for the first time, Mike LePondâs Silent Assassins, a fantastic heavy, power metal album that combines all influences of Mike LePondâs favorite bands from the past and present. This album is packed with kick ass vocals, scorching riffs and epic styling â thereâs something in there for any style of metal head!
The name of the album is âMike LePondâs Assassinsâ and features guest performances by guitarist Metal Mike (Halford, Testament), lead guitarist and drum producer Michael Romeo (Symphony X), vocalist Alan Tecchio ( Hades, Watchtower), and, of course, main man Mike LePond on bass and rhythm guitar.
Mike LePond, well known as the bass guitar player of the US progressive metal band Symphony X, steps out for the first time to bring you his first solo effort. Heavily influenced by a variety of his contemporaries, Gene Simmons ( Kiss), his first concert experience, and later further influenced by Geddy Lee ( Rush) and Geezer Butler.
Mike LePond states: âThis CD is all me. I wrote all the music, and all the lyrics. Itâs one of the most satisfying things Iâve ever done and I canât wait to share it with my fansâ.
Metal Mike remarks: âSuperbly crafted songs! Highly recommended to fans who like their metal true and hardâ and Alan Tecchio adds :âThe themes Mike wrote about lyrically and the energy of full throttle riffage was a welcomed back to my power metal rootsâ
Mike LePond: Join me as we celebrate the glory of heavy metal with my first ever, solo release!

Da gibts bisher glaube ich noch nichts zu hören, aber irgendwie bin ich da gerade heià drauf. Das liest sich gut! Das Lineup ist ja hervorragend!
