Masters Of Metal
History
Masters Of Metal is the band launched by seasoned metal veterans and current members of Agent Steel: Juan Garcia (guitars), Bernie Versailles (guitars/lead vocals), Robert Cardenas (bass/backing vocals), Rigo Amezcua (drums). The Los Angeles based 4-piece band decided on moving forward and completing their new material with Bernie Versailles taking over lead vocal duties; this has been a blessing in disguise as Masters Of Metal not only have maintained their dedicated fan base playing successful live shows in recent months to great overwhelming receptions, but the legendary members have gained even more followers in support of their new path.
Masters Of Metal released their self-titled debut EP in April 2013, including 4 blistering metal missiles with everything that you can expect from the members of Agent Steel. Recorded by Bill Metoyer (Fates Warning, Trouble, Gwar), and mixed by mastermind Bernie Versailles; who’s previous work includes Agent Steel comeback classics 'Omega Conspiracy' (1999) 'Order of the Illuminati' (2003). The 4th track anthem 'Lunacy' features lead guest vocals by James Rivera (Helstar), and Sean Peck (Cage, Death Dealer) joining in on the metal assault! The songs feature a sonic production with top-notch overtones, timeless songwriting, and lots of scorching guitars, bottom end, and precision drumming. The group released a promotional video for the track 'Chameleon' and just recently released a follow up video to the song 'M.K. Ultra'. No Remorse Records in Greece licensed the CD and distributes the material along with live in the studio bonus tracks on July 29, 2013. The legend continues from the Masters Of Metal – Agents of Steel.
