Bio:
Ashes of the Righteous is a new progressive rock studio project driven by the vision of mastermind Peter Lazar. Serving as the album’s composer, producer, and creative core, this Swedish multi-instrumentalist handles guitars and keyboards while crafting a powerful blend of progressive rock, metal, and cinematic storytelling. The project’s immersive narrative is shaped by five other world-class core artists. Acclaimed Australian vocalist and lyricist Mark Truey Trueack (Unitopia, UPF) serves as the project’s vocal and lyrical architect, writing every lyric with intelligence and emotional depth. Adding essential dimension to the progressive soundscapes is Swedish keyboardist Johan Chasseur, a veteran of the Norwegian hard rock band Stage Dolls who infuses the tracks with rich cinematic textures. On the low end, legendary American bassist Don Schiff brings over five decades of elite experience—including work with icons like Elvis Presley and Tina Turner—to provide an unmistakable sound using the innovative NS/Stick. He is joined by celebrated Swedish bassist Ken Sandin (Alien, Kee Marcello), a longtime collaborator of Peter’s who anchors the rhythm section with his signature powerful groove and decades of Scandinavian melodic rock expertise. Delivering the backbone for the entire album is award-winning Spanish drummer Chus Gancedo, an elite educator and LCCM graduate who provides an incredibly precise and dynamic percussive foundation. Alen Brentini, (Udo Dirkschneider) elevates the project with his exceptional, soaring guitar solos. Also featuring special guest appearance by Martin Fürst, Jonas Hörnqvist; Miriam Patel, Mats Forslund, Madeleane Olsén.
Album:
Some albums are written in a matter of months. Others demand years of dedication, passion, and an unwavering vision. The Seven Deadly Sins belongs to the latter. What began as an idea evolved over more than three years into an ambitious concept album where music and storytelling are inseparably intertwined. Not tales of damnation, but reflections of the human soul. Seven shadows we all carry. Seven choices we all face. This is not a record of judgment, but a journey through the beauty and the decay that live within us. You are the witness. You are the story. You are the sin and the redemption. ⁃ Enter, if you dare There is no light without the dark.This beautifully illustrated 4-panel digi-sleeve with eight-page booklet artwork was designed by Peter Lazar.The album combines progressive rock, storytelling and visual art to create something that is meant to be experienced as a whole not simply heard.Release Date: October 16, 2026.
