When Mark Zonder, famed former Fates Warning and Warlord drummer, started working on material in early 2020 he had a very clear vision for the band he wanted to put together. \"I wanted to have a very accessible band that would appeal to the masses and would lead to the ability to tour larger venues. I knew from myself and the others that I would recruit, it would have some sophisticated music parts but the big hook was the main priority.\" The result was A-Z, reuniting him with Fates Warning vocalist Ray Alder, Warlord\/Steve Vai\/Ring of Fire bassist Philip Bynoe, guitarist Joop Wolters and keyboardist Vivien Lalu, the combination of these players stirring up a very specific kind of magic that could not be replicated. The goal was always the same: shorter songs and getting right to the chorus, no twelve-minute songs, and everyone found it easy working to this remit. With everything else coming together nicely, finding the right singer was the hardest aspect of the whole process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50555817165096,"sku":"03984160096","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4115277-2854668.jpg?v=1763482379","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/a-z-a-z-lp-03984160096","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
