MACHINES OF GRACE, the new band featuring drummer Jeff Plate (TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, SAVATAGE, METAL CHURCH), lead singer Zak Stevens (CIRCLE II CIRCLE, SAVATAGE), guitarist Matt Leff (guitar) and bassist Chris Rapoza (bass), will release its self-titled debut this summer.

"It's just a pure, solid melodic rock sound," Stevens says about the project. "It has infectious grooves and its own brand of outright power. To me, it's got great songwriting with a hard rock edge and strong commercial appeal."

Listened to the songs on their site and.........meh, not bad but not anything to jump up and down about either!

Yeah, this band is Wicked Witch reunited, Zak and Jeff's pre-Savatage band. I knew this was going to happen for quite some time, but this is the first concrete information about it.
I will basically buy anything with Zak Stevens singing on it.

Oh, and "The Moment" sounds like King's X a bit, in a good way.
