Album by Band Comprised of Former Ozzy Osbourne/Badlands Guitar Legend Jake E.
Lee, Bassist Ronnie Mancuso, Vocalist D.J. Smith and Drummer Jonas Fairley Set

The
newest band ready to take aim at the creative void in the hard rock world, Red
Dragon Cartel, are set to release their debut album via Frontiers Records. The
self-titled debut by the band made up of guitar legend Jake E. Lee, bassist
Ronnie Mancuso, singer D.J. Smith and drummer Jonas Fairley is set for release
on January 24th in Europe and January 28th in North
America.
Jake E.
Lee is best known for his work in Badlands and as guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne
on Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin albums. Red Dragon Cartel also features various
guest appearances from some of music’s most notable faces including legendary
Cheap Trick vocalist Robin Zander, original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di’Anno,
Kill Devil Hill/Pantera bassist Rex Brown, Slash’s Conspirators Todd Kearns and
Brent Fitz and In This Moment front woman Maria Brink. The album was produced
by Ronnie Mancuso and Jake E. Lee and was executive produced, mixed and
mastered by Kevin Churko (In This Moment, Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death
Punch).
From the
opening riff of “Deceived” to final sustained piano chord of “Exquisite
Tenderness,” it is clear Red Dragon
Cartel has created an album that stands amongst some of the greatest hard
rock albums of all time. Infectious songs such as “Shout It Out,” “Wasted” and
“Slave” showcase the band’s ability to write memorable hooks and vocal
melodies. Robin Zander of Cheap Trick lends his voice to the track “Feeder” and
a lyric video for the song can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/FeederLyricVideo. Maria
Brink of In This Moment lends her unique vocals to the track “Big Mouth.” Paul
Di’Anno and Sass Jordan also lend their talents to the band’s debut. Jake E.
Lee’s trademark playing style instantly shines through and picks up right where
he left off. The album is available for pre-order on Amazon.com at http://amzn.to/1aYjMng or
digitally on iTunes at http://smarturl.it/reddragoncartel that comes with an instant download of “Deceived.”
The band
