Michael Sweet with CJ Grimmark in a new solo/metal album

“I had the pleasure of touring with CJ in South America a few years back. I was blown away by his professionalism, his talent and his dedication. So much so that I reached out to him about working with me on my next solo/Metal album. As ideas have come in I’ve heard (and seen) the incredibly abilities CJ has as a writer, musician, engineer and producer. He’s a force to be reckoned with and an absolute gentleman in the process. One of the best!”

This should be very interesting! I'm not much of a fan of Narnia but I have all the Rob Rock albums and CJ played on one or 2 of them and he is quite the guitar player. I'm looking forward to this. I'm also open to discovering/listening to some Narnia and maybe getting an album of 2 from them depending on how I like the music.

Next mounth they will release a double cd compilation. Maybe a good option to you start your collection

Narnia is one of those bands I feel like I should like more than I do. (I have Awakening and Enter the Gate). But CJ is a monster player. Love his work with Rob Rock.

Michael Sweet is almost as busy as George Lynch. Lol

But less than Christian Liljegren and Dale Thompson, lol

we have a winner here, hahaha

So, have this project idea resulted in anything fruitful?

Seeing that it has only been a few months since Stryper released their latest and the band is touring in support of that, I wouldn't expect anything just yet.  I would look again either mid-summer to the end of the year.

From what I am reading, it looks like he was mainly endorsing his mastering work back in '21
