METAL: Power Metal, METAL: Heavy Metal
Details:
Originally introduced as Tempered Steel in the early 1980''s, Glenn Dagrossa (guitar ), Rich Angora ( guitar) and Nick Dalessandro (Drums), quickly began putting a dent in the Long Island metal scene, to be joined in short order by bass guitar phenom Ron Porcelli. From these humble beginnings evolved the progressively tinged heavy metal act, LAZARUS. Influenced by bands such as Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Rush, and Fates Warning, it wasn''t long before LAZARUS, fronted by Majesty/Dream Theatre vocalist Chris Collins, was supporting acts like Hittman, Nepalm, and Hellicon ( just to name a few). This led to LAZARUS being hailed as one of "...the quintessential metal band(s) of our time..." by KERRANG magazine.
The bands musical prowess exposed the limitations of vocalist Chris Collins and eventually guitar master Glen DaGrossa traded his axe for the microphone and the front man spot, bringing the LAZARUS sound to new heights with tremendous range and power. This prodded the new line-up to collaborate with Bob Spencer, to produce a more polished and commercial sound demanded of the music industry.
With a strong return to the circuit in the early 1990''s, the lure of solo career paths and collaborations with other musicians meant continued success for LAZARUS with a now ever expanding audience. LAZARUS and it’s members supported acts the likes of The Almighty, Crimson Glory, Fates Warning, Winger, King Diamond, Poison, Bret Michaels, Living Colour, BOC, Twisted Sister, Asia, and Johnny Winter, while also sharing the stage with artists like Al Dimeola, Pat Metheny, The Rippingtons, and Acoustic Alchemy.
In 1995 Glen (after lending his extraordinary vocal talents to Monolith/Ice Age), called on Ron and Nick to work extensively with guitarist/songerwriter wunderkind, Dave Mercado, whose credits include JRADROCKS, No Void, Tyress and Aliance. This proved the inspiration for Glen and Ron to form Signs of Rain, while Nick did a hardy stint with Earth Eatz Dog.
During this time of musical awareness, the Metal Underground longed precipitously for anything LAZARUS, whose limited recordings became much sought after gems.
The hunger for LAZARUS material meant it was time to “Awaken the Beast" and the first installment Episode 1 is their answer to the call.
