(New hard rock project featuring Michael Wilton of Queensryche)
As Queensryche continues to explore alternative avenues of musical creativity, founding guitarist Michael Wilton remains true to his metal roots with the first single "Coming For You" from his new project "Wratchet Head"! Mixed by renown East Coast engineer Jonathan Wyman and mastered by Grammy nominated Adam Ayan (Gateway), "Coming For You" offers the true metal fan a new spin on Michael's legendary sound of hard rock. Add to that, the uniquely talented Rane Stone on vocals, drummer Adam Clark, guitarist Jesse Paul, bassist Steve Jackson, and you are in for a real treat! "Coming for You" is only a prelude to an amazing, thought provoking and well written heavy rock album. To the millions of QR fans who's ears have longed to once again be filled with the classic, melodic and sometimes haunting sounds of 'the earlier years', this then, is definitely what you have been waiting for.
* The single will be available on iTunes Tuesday, September 14. There are also a limited amount of hard copies available for pre-order at www.wratchethead.com or www.ratpakrecords.com
"Coming For You" will be featured on the Erik Buell Racing 1190RS EBR 'teaser' commercial that will start it's run on Tuesday September 14, produced by Zen FIlm.
You can hear new audio sample here www.wratchethead.com or video/audio http://www.youtube.com/user/RatPakRecords#p/u/6/5hNMlQrfgvM
