Said to have the golden touch, Lance’s voice just seems to connect the dot’s making head banging metal also into a good song. On the last day of June, 2011 Lance decided to invite some of his musical friends to co-write songs with him as he ventured into his first solo album. An act of faith only knowing their work, never working with them before creating music. In just two months, those involved had created an epic masterpiece and in under three A MOMENT IN CHIROS was mixed and mastered and off to the presses. This album was meant to be out by 11/11/11 and is destined to stand the test of time.
