Metal guitarist, XANDER DEMOS has recruited Firehouse frontman, CJ SNARE to mix the title track from his forthcoming sophomore album, Dancing Through Daggers. The title track will appear on a new Guitar Wizards compilation, being released by Versailles Records. Xander has also spoken with JK NORTHRUP, known for his work with some of rock’s biggest names, about mixing several instrumental tracks for the album. Snare mixed Xander’s debut album, Guitarcadia, while Northrup mixed “Sucker Punched,” a track that Xander performed alongside Jerry Dixon (Warrant) and Rick Stitch (Hotel Diablo,) that appeared on LIberty ‘N’ Justice’s The Cigar Chronicles.
“Both of these guys have amazing ears and are really talented at what they do,” said Xander. “I can’t wait to really dig in and get this next project finished. I’m incredibly humbled to be appearing on the ‘Guitar Wizards’ compilation. There are some unbelievable artists lined up for this thing, including GEORGE LYNCH and JAKE E. LEE. It’s going to be pretty wild.”
