Former (hed)p.e. guitarist Chad Benekos is set to release his new solo album “Now Or Never” on January 22nd. That independent effort features nine new songs in the alternative and indie rock vein, complete with breakbeats, acoustic guitars and more.
A non AI-project, Benekos called upon some established hands to help flesh out the record. Scott Holiday of hard rockers Rival Sons co-produced alongside Benekos, while Kellii Scott of space rock greats Failure was enlisted for the studio drumming. Holiday also contributed bass, keys and percussion to this release, while Ryan Blake added keys, and Cody Requejo contributed additional guitar.
A veteran of (hed)p.e.‘s past, Machine (Clutch, Lamb Of God), took up mixing and mastering “Now Or Never“. He and Benekos previously worked together during the sessions for (hed)p.e.‘s sophomore album “Broke“.
