For Immediate Release: Acey Slade featured in Rock Band 2 and Releasing new E.P. this Fall!

This September Harmoix Music and Mtv are releasing Rock Band 2, the premier interactive music video game. Rock Band 1 received widespread critical acclaim and has sold over 3.5 million bundled units over all platforms. Players have also downloaded over 21 million songs since Rock Band's release. The game's success has prompted the development of a sequel, Rock Band 2, due to be released on Xbox 360 in September 2008 and on other consoles in the following months. With this kind of success Harmoix Music could have cast any notable celebrity to model their characters after, who they chose for 2 of the biggest roles was Acey Slade. All the moves, style and motion for the Male singer of the ‘Punk’ band and the male guitarist for the ‘Rock’ band were ‘Mocap’ed’ (Motion captured) at Curious Pictures in New York in January of this past year before Acey headed out on a U.S. and European tour where he rejoined is former band mate Wednesday 13 (Murderdolls) who was sidelined from guitar duties due to a broken collar bone.

Focused solely on his solo album, Acey will release an EP featuring Re-Mixes from Skinny Kangur of Deathstars, Piggy D of Rob Zombie, Loopy from Hanzel Und Gretyl and DJ Speedranch. The E.P. will be a limited release and some of the remixes will be exclusive to the E.P. only! It will also include stickers and patch exclusive to this E.P.

A full-length album is 90% completed and should be released later this year or early next. The album and the EP are collaboration between Acey and Producer Shaun ‘Stakka’ Morris, a legend in the Drum and Bass scene. The album blends guitars with electronica, and pop with darkness hence the tentative title ‘Dark Party’. Shaun handled the programming, while Acey played bass, guitar and lead vocals. Andee, who will be a part of the live band, added additional guitars.
