July 14 : CHRIS
MANNING have released a new
album and video featuring
Bruce Kulick From
:
Roxx Records
NoLifeTilMetal Records is proud to announce the CD and vinyl
release of Texas guitarist Chris Manning’s "Reach
The Sky." The
new album is a worthy follow-up to “Destination”
(2020) and once again features vocalist extraordinaire and
co-writer, Cris Hodges (Grey Daze, In The End). “Reach The Sky”
also features a stellar lineup of guest artists including legendary
guitarist
Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk) on "Fly Over
The Walls" as well as the Hungarian-born, fiery blues guitarist
Tommy Katona on the instrumental “Texas Smoke”. In addition to
his contributions to one track, Bruce Kulick served as the
album’s creative consultant.
“Reach The Sky” features a great collection of genre-blurring
songs combining melodic rock and metal riffs with cinematic
soundscapes showcasing Manning’s unique approach to songwriting
along with his thematic guitar solos. Vocalist Cris Hodges once
again delivers catchy hooks showcasing his amazing range and
depth as well as his ability to provide the perfect vocal
performance for each song.
Fans of Alice in Chains, Lynch Mob, KISS, and King’s X will love
this album and its perfect blend of Manning’s influences.
Rounding out the album’s lineup are bassist, Chapman Stick, and
keyboardist studio ace Rick Read (Herd Of Instinct, The Zeppelin
Project) on 8 tracks and Singapore bassist Dan Hawkins on 2
tracks. Drummer and UK session pro Max Saidi completes the line
up.
Nine of the album’s tracks were mixed and mastered by Alex Gerst
(Empire Sound Recording Studios), a nationally recognized studio
producer/engineer, while “Texas Smoke” was mixed by legendary
Pantera mix engineer Sterling Winfield (Boot Hill Studios) and
mastered by Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound).
As an artist with a wide-variety of musical tastes, Chris
Manning’s music remains difficult to categorize. Manning was
featured in Guitar Player magazine (Dec 2008) and is also a
founding member of The Zeppelin Project, one of the top Zeppelin
tributes in Texas.
