Ex-Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Mike Clark has given the below update regarding his ‘new’ project Waking The Dead. The outfit will be opening Suicidal Tendencies‘ spring tour with D.R.I, Sick Of It All and Madball:
“Hello everyone, this is Mike Clark, rhythm guitarist for Suicidal Tendencies 25 years strong!
Some of you may be wondering what I’ve been up to for the last 7 months or so. Well, I’ve always had a dream of fronting my own band, that is playing both rhythm and lead guitars and singing which is why I left Suicidal in June to recreate the band I founded in 1985, No Mercy. Unfortunately I cannot use the name, No Mercy, as it’s been trademarked by W.W.E., so we are now calling the band “Waking The Dead“.
We are re releasing the No Mercy original album, which Mike Muir sang on with two additional tracks, also featuring Muir on vocals to let you know where and how the band would sound had it kept going. Also, I, with Waking the Dead, have been given the great opportunity to open the show for Suicidals upcoming tour this April which is a great honor for us. After that, look forward to a Waking the Dead full length album in the near future.
Once again, I can’t tell you how excited and honored I am to hit the stage again! So get ready for your ears to bleed, that head to bang and that slam pit to go off!! STraight from the heart,
Mike ClarkWaking The Dead
Suicidal for Life”
