July Reign - Inferno (Debut Album)

March 23 is the date for yet another classy debut album from MelodicRock Records. This time it’s time to get your metal on with JULY REIGN. JULY REIGN is an international recording project featuring Sheldon Scrivner of Missoula, Montana, USA, Carsten ’Lizard’ Schulz (Domain, Evidence One, Dead End Heroes) of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and Mark Duran of Denver, Colorado. After hearing Evidence One on Pandora, Sheldon contacted Carsten and asked him if he would be interested in collaborating on some recordings and sent him a few music samples. Carsten quickly responded and said he indeed would be interested, and the seeds of July Reign were planted. A few songs evolved into a whole album. Sheldon and Mark’s friendship and musical relationship go way back in time to the big-hair metal days of the late 80s in Phoenix, Arizona. Sheldon is influenced by the melodic emotion of David Gilmore, the energy of Joe Satriani, the fretboard acrobatics of guitar greats
