Joe Holmes Unleashes New Solo Album with Metal Elite

In a thunderous return to the spotlight, Joe Holmes, the axe-slinger who once graced the stage alongside the Prince of Darkness, has unleashed his self-titled solo album, a masterclass in heavy metal artistry. Featuring powerful vocals from Robert Locke and a lineup of heavyweights that includes Metallica's Robert Trujillo on bass and Faith No More's Mike Bordin on drums, this album is nothing short of a sonic juggernaut.

The album boasts a fierce collection of tracks that will resonate with both old-school metalheads and new fans alike. Standout tracks like “Speak Into The Sea,” “Cross Eyed Stare,” and “The Crush Of Light” showcase Holmes' signature blend of technical prowess and emotional depth, all while maintaining that raw, unfiltered energy that the metal scene craves.

Holmes, who had his first stint with Ozzy from 1995 to 1998 before returning for a second round until 2001, has a storied history that includes shredding for Lizzy Borden on their iconic 1987 album, Visual Lies. His evolution as a musician is evident in this latest offering, which is not just a nod to his past but an affirmation of his place in the metal hierarchy.

Critics are already buzzing about the album, with Metal Sludge calling it “a modern day Hanoi Rocks meets The 69 Eyes” infused with pop hooks and whiskey-soaked vocals. The album is available now on all digital platforms, ready for you to crank it up to eleven.
