Asylum, the Illinois-based project featuring Markus Johansson (lead vocals, lead guitar) and Johnny Rox (bass guitar), has uploaded a 2nd track called "Permanent Heartbreak" to its MySpace page. The track was mixed by Orlando Villasenor at Everlong Recording Company in San Antonio, Texas and is the 2nd song with vocals to be released from the band. "Eternal" is also up and playing. Look for a 3rd in the coming weeks!
Johansson and Rox are joined on the debut Asylum album by drummer Kevin Talley (Daath, Chimaira, Misery Index) and second lead guitarist Larry Tarnowski (Iced Earth). In addition, Zimmers Hole vocalist The Heathen will record guest vocals on the bonus track, a cover of Van Halen's "Get Up". Also contributing to the CD are Gene Hoglan (Dethklok, Zimmers Hole, SYL), David Shankle (Manowar, DSG), Andy La Rocque (King Diamond), Michael Angelo Batio (Nitro, MAB), Roland Grapow (Helloween, Masterplan), Bill Hudson (Power Quest, Cellador), and Brendon Small ("Metalacolypse"/Dethklok creator).
Asylum is currently unsigned and seeking a suitable label to release the CD and begin touring. For more info, visit www.myspace.com/officialasylum
