Update #1: New video added
Finally got time to update the video. In it you will be able to hear a sample rough mix of the new song "Fly for Me" off of the new release.
Also, this is a very sad day for me as I just came out of the studio to hear that one of my idols, Ronnie James Dio, has passed away. I am still in shock, but I take great comfort in the fact that we will always have his music and his memory.
Goodbye, Ronnie. Rest in peace and God bless.

Johnny Lokke wants to be clear on one thing. "When I say I play classic heavy metal, I mean it. I don't rap, I don't growl, I don't do 'unplugged shows' and I don't plan on redoing my songs with an orchestra. I take two guitars, add in some pounding bass, throw down a vocal line that has melody and power, have actual guitar solos, and finally turn Scot (Goacher) loose to throw down a barrage of drums that will blow you away!"
Lokke began playing guitar at the age of 10, and was led to the alter of metal at age 14. "I remember it like it was yesterday...my first concert. It was KISS with all the original members. I was so excited! The concert starts and the lights go down, and a band I had never heard of takes the stage. The guitars are so loud I can't believe it. The bass is crushing my chest, and the drums sound like they are in my head! But then...what do I hear...my god, is that a human scream? It was JUDAS PRIEST onstage, ripping me limb from limb, taking no prisoners. I was hooked. I loved KISS, but I knew that musically, Priest was where it was at for me."
These days, Johnny is very busy not only with his solo releases, but also fronting the band The New Breed as well as recording and producing local bands in his Big Noise Studio. Be sure and check him out on his MySpace page and also on CDBaby.com.
