The L.I.F.E Project sees a meeting of musical minds between Stone Sour's Josh Rand and Paralandra singer / guitarist Casandra Carson, with their self-titled E.P out 9 July.
The dynamic of Josh's old school metal riff dynamics with Carson's powerful vocals make this a strong start for the new project and E.P closer A World On Fire is a highlight.
Ibanez and Hughes & Kettner endorsee Josh also plays drums, bass and keyboards on the EP has filmed a guitar playthrough for the track for us here to offer up-close insight on his playing.
