Rock Supergroup NUCLEAR MESSIAH Releases New Single

Former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland has unveiled a new single, For Mad Men Only, from his project, NUCLEAR MESSIAH. This powerful track features an impressive lineup of rock legends, including Joe Lynn Turner (known from RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE) on vocals and acclaimed guitarist Pat Travers. They are joined by ex-HAWKWIND bassist Alan Davey, and former MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover, creating a high-energy metal cover of the 1970s MAY BLITZ song.

For Mad Men Only is a preview of NUCLEAR MESSIAH's upcoming album, Black Flame, which is set to be released on April 24 by Cleopatra Records. The album is described as a massive collaboration, bringing together 36 iconic musicians from five decades of rock and metal history.

Chris Poland expressed his excitement about the project. "If someone told me when I was a kid that I would be on a record someday with nearly 40 of rock's royalty, I would have said you're dreaming. Well, it happened!" he shared. Poland added that the album is a "tour de force of artists" that never stops delivering from start to finish.

Joe Lynn Turner also commented on the experience, noting it was a "time warp" to record the May Blitz cover. He reflected on the original band's sound and how the song's themes still resonate today.

The Black Flame album promises a diverse collection of talent, featuring musicians from legendary bands like VANILLA FUDGE, GUNS N' ROSES, BLACK SABBATH, JUDAS PRIEST, DEEP PURPLE, and many more. It also includes covers of classic songs alongside new material, aiming to be a living history of hard rock and metal. This project is more than just a collaboration; it's a gathering of artists who have shaped the evolution of heavy music.
