Metal Force is a studio-only project band comprised of guitarists Darren Raffel (Affliction) and Tom Vitacco (Worwyk/Affliction) who have teamed up with vocalist Jason Russo (Herod/Darkling/Worwyk/Cheap Evil) to create a new album entitled Metal Rebirth. A little background on the project: Darren and Tom were both in Affliction and released two albums with some friends who handled the vocals. They started to write some new songs back in 2006 but found the songs were not as heavy and dark as the previous Affliction material so they decided to form Metal Force as a side project for these more melodic tunes. Tom was still working on Worwyk material at the time and was corresponding with a possible singer who did some demo tracks but he couldn't commit the time to do the full album so they started to look for another singer. Tom was already working with Jason on Worwyk's Malignant album and he asked Jason if he would take over and handle all the vocals for the Metal Force project once Malignant was complete. Jason agreed to do it and he recorded all eight songs as well as a bonus track. We hope you enjoy the music and thanks for listening. Keep it metal \m/ Metal Force (Darren/Jason/Tom)
