T&N

Formed in 2012 as a recording project for ex-<a href="spotify:artist:09hNSPPOxDop4FRdr6UEnq">Dokken</a> members <a href="spotify:artist:4t9bqcZJUC9cAjgRRNVm6u">George Lynch</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1epcCwp3rm0nYiaOf3OnPy">Jeff Pilson</a>, and Mick Brown, Los Angeles-based hard rock outfit T&N, named in honor of <a href="spotify:artist:09hNSPPOxDop4FRdr6UEnq">Dokken</a>'s 1984 debut, Tooth & Nail, finds even ground between the arena rock/pop-metal pageantry of the past and the dark, progressive hard rock soundscapes of the 21st century. Bolstered by the hard-hitting drumwork of Brian Tichy, the band's debut album, 2012's Slave to the Empire, featured seven original tracks, five re-recorded <a href="spotify:artist:09hNSPPOxDop4FRdr6UEnq">Dokken</a> cuts, and guest vocal appearances from <a href="spotify:artist:2D2svlzUpyTfcEEq0t3dgV">Sebastian Bach</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:4opTS86dN9uO313J9CE8xg">Skid Row</a>), <a href="spotify:artist:1kcDiFxJ4pv9tVARvStqTN">Tim "Ripper" Owens</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:2tRsMl4eGxwoNabM08Dm4I">Judas Priest</a>), <a href="spotify:artist:51S9dRF8a9hrdg4N1PbEWT">Doug Pinnick</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:3tn79LMMIdIT1T0TXumjaH">King's X</a>), and Robert Mason (<a href="spotify:artist:7HLvzuM9p11k9lUQfSM4Rq">Warrant</a>). ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
