Guitarist DD Rand and Lead Vocalist Kyle Michaels from the 80s Hard Rock/Metal band Ravage out of Chicago have come together to release their new single “Rails of Steel”. This amazing rock ballad mixes layers of acoustic guitars and then it slams into the wall of sound followed by an epic guitar solo. But, what really takes this song “Rails of Steel” to the next level is the incredible vocals of Kyle Michaels. Kyle Michaels has performed with the Geezer Butler Band who was the legendary bass player for (Black Sabbath) and also, Guitar Virtuoso Masi (Lion Music), Plus of course the 80’s metal sensation Ravage (Shrapnel Records / Dark Star Records).
DD Rand and Kyle Michaels prove once again that they have what it takes to make a rock ballad of epic proportions. Dark Star Records and SGL Entertainment are already making plans to place the song in some upcoming movies and television shows. DD Rand currently has deals with Dark Star Records, Shrapnel Records and Retrospect Records.
