Glen's latest updates as of October 2009
Monday, 19 October 2009 20:27

I'm really excited to say I've had the opportunity to rip some solos on some great projects (TENET,and DEFIANCE) this quarter.  I poured a lot of my soul and time into these solos.  It’s the first time I was actually able to relax and not worry about the drum parts or the vocals or anything else. The biggest thing I had to worry about was if I was going to solo over some vocal parts which by the way most were not  there, but in the end I learned that sometimes it’s o.k. to create a solo before you know what the vocal pattern will be which makes the solo and vocals completely different.

I'd like to give thanks to Jed Simon and Jim Adams for bringing me in on these projects.

I've been asked in the past to make available instructional demos to all you metal heads wanting to learn my material and style. I'm excited to say I'm making available all the solos on the current projects as well as past requested FORBIDDEN solos. We’ll be starting with MP3’s of just the solos and then coming soon we’ll do a video clip of me playing the actual solo. So in the near future if you have a particular solo like the “Through Eyes Of Glass” solo, you will have the opportunity to download the MP3 or purchase the video.

At this time I am currently working with my band “LD/50” and preparing for the final touches of our new songs. Also, I am gathering new members for my other band “BIZARRO”, which should be ready to go by 1/1/10.

Vocalist CLARK BROWN Comments On LD/50 Project - June 9, 2009
Written by El Borracho

Vocalist Clark Brown, who sang on the last two solo albums from BLACK SABBATH bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler — 1997's "Black Science" (released under the GEEZER banner) and 2005's "Ohmwork" (under G/Z/R) — has commented on his involvement with LD/50, the new project led by Glen Alvelais (FORBIDDEN, TESTAMENT, TENET). He says, "I tell ya, when Glen called me up to get this thing going, I was fuckin amped!!! I was a big fan of FORBIDDEN back in the day. I remember covering 'Forbidden Evil' in one of my old bands. This new stuff we are writing has really brought the best outta me. Every new song Glen hands me is getting better and better. I am constantly blown away. It makes my job so easy as a singer. The vocals just flow outta me like fuckin water! I love the dynamics that we are creating; it can be heavy as fuck, to melodic and mellow but always moving and pulling the listener from one end of the spectrum to the other. This first album is gonna flatten the fuck outta the norm and really give the people something to chew on...no bullshit!! LD/50, your next household name!"

LD/50 has uploaded a teaser sampler on the band's MySpace page.

LD/50 is:

Glen Alvelais (FORBIDDEN, TESTAMENT, TENET) - Guitar
Clark Brown (GEEZER) - Vocals
Jeremy Colson (STEVE VAI, MARTY FRIEDMAN) - Drums
