Metal Crooners Come Out For Sin-Atra

Ever wonder what it would sound like if Jani Lane (Warrant) sang Frank Sinatra's classic "That's Life"? What about Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad) crooning "New York, New York"? Neither have we, but the thought of it has piqued our interest. The fine folks over at Eagle Rock Entertainment have put together a CD of some of metal's biggest icons crooning Sinatra's greatest hits. It is something ever metal fan can listen to and bond with their grandparents over. This can now be experienced on SIN-Atra, a brand new album to be released by Eagle Rock Entertainment on March 29, 2011. [MSRP $13.98]

SIN-atra - New York, New York feat. Devin Townsend by Eagle Rock Entertainment

This all-star project, created from the team that brought you the merry, molten melodies of We Wish You A Metal Xmas, reinvents the classic songs that the great Frank Sinatra performed and, in turn, made famous. These twelve cherished tunes, written by some of the greatest songwriters of all time, are given a radical hard rock/heavy metal treatment, resulting in electrically charged versions of the classics.

Some of the most potent and recognizable voices of rock rework such legendary gems as “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Strangers In The Night,” and “That’s Life,” including Dee Snider, Robin Zander, Glenn Hughes, Joey Belladonna, Geoff Tate, , Tim “Ripper” Owens, Eric Martin, and dUg Pinnick. Producers Bob Kulick, of KISS and Meat Loaf fame, and Brett Chassen, recreated these songs on guitar and drums, respectively, rounded out by Billy Sheehan (bass) and Doug Katsaros (keyboards, orchestration). Also making an appearance as lead guitarist on “That’s Life” is renowned rock guitarist Richie Kotzen.

These familiar favorites are beloved the world over, but they’ve never been heard like this before! “A fantastic CD,” says executive producer Wendy Dio, “keeping the era alive with today's musicians.”
