Gene Hoglan comments on ''LIFER'':
"Let me say this: Never have I obsessed over the recording of any album I've been involved in as I have with MELDRUM's
latest. The tragic circumstances that took Michelle from us also
provided us with a razor-sharp focus to record the most amazing album we
could. Michele Madden, Laura Christine, and hell, even Rob Shallcross,
our engineer, put forth performances of a lifetime, with each member's
full love and respect going into every nuance of every song. Not only to
honor Michelle, but to also lay down some bad-ass music, which was
ultimately what she stood for… what MELDRUM stands for. I think
the songs speak for themselves, and I, for one, have never been prouder
to be a part of a family, let alone a project such as this. Metal with
balls. Crank it up, indeed". -Gene Hoglan

MELDRUM
has toured worldwide with Lemmy Kilmister's Motorhead, Zakk Wylde's
Black Label Society, Sepultura, Danzig, Nashville Pussy, as well as
sharing the stage with many more. Touting a combination of mammoth vocal
styles along with aggressively melodic vocals, mind bending guitar
riffs and a rhythm section that creates fiercely bombastic grooves, this
is what gives MELDRUM their unique, cutting edge sound.
