Fozzy - Sean Delson -bass guitar, Ryan Mallam - guitar, Chris Jericho - vocals, Rich Ward -guitars/vocals/keyboards/programming, Frank Fontsere -drums/vocals.
The legend of Fozzy began in 1999 in the backstage area at the Alamodome in San Antonio at a WCW Wrestling show...that was the day that WWE Wrestling Superstar Chris Jericho (one of the biggest names in all of Pro Wrestling) met the amazing Rich Ward, virtuoso guitarist of Stuck Mojo (the band who has inspired acts like Limp Bizkit, P.O.D., Linkin Park, Crazy Town, Insane Clown Posse, etc).
Rich had a cover band called Fozzy Osbourne and had heard that Chris loved his rock music and had a great voice himself, so he asked Chris to join the band. Soon after, they decided to drop the 'Osbourne' and thus became Fozzy. They were immediately offered a record deal by Palm/ Megaforce Records who saw potential in the bands' undeniable playing skills and Chris's powerful and melodic vocals.
Fozzy developed a huge following after releasing two cover albums that sold a total of around 500,000 units world wide. Realising that their own material was just as good (if not better) than the songs they were playing, Fozzy dropped the covers and turned their sights on becoming a fully original hard rocking band.
The result is 'All That Remains' - a smoking album that takes the sounds of Ozzy Osbourne, Stuck Mojo, Audioslave and Black Label Society, and moulds them into a formidable and impressive album of fresh and highly infectious rock songs. Rich Ward's signature tones, described by ex Pantera/Damageplan guitar master Dimebag Darrell (RIP) as the best he has heard, are ever present along with Jericho's killer Rob Halford / Ozzy Osbourne / Chris Cornell like vocals.
'All That Remains' has been released on Fozzy's own label, 'Ash Records' and is exclusively licensed in Australia by Riot Distributors. It is a brilliantly written and produced album that traverses several different rock styles from the commercial variety to straight ahead heavy metal to some beautifully soaring power ballads.
Stand out tracks include the first track to radio, 'Enemy' an infectiously hook laden, Alter Bridge inspired anthem (clip to debut on Australian TV late February) plus the rock/hip hop crossover of 'It's A Lie' featuring rapper Bonecrusher, and of course the Soundgarden styled title track 'All that Remains'. The steamrolling full force rock of 'Nameless Faceless' and 'The Test' showcase the bands' heavy metal roots and the serious groove and technical genius of 'The Way I Am' enable the band to take their playing abilities to the limit.
Fozzy will become THE hard rock band of 2005 and All That Remains, is for the public to get a taste!!!
Features guest appearances by Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society), Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth), Mark Tremonti & Myles Kennedy (Creed / Alter Bridge) and Bonecrusher.
