{"product_id":"a-z-039841600964","title":"A-z","description":"Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. 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.","brand":"Metal Blade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46159856009299,"sku":"2503908X","price":35.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4115277_fe6e44e6-0747-4aca-ba02-6b55cf1eb5b3.jpg?v=1788618681","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/a-z-039841600964","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
