Release Date: 10 Feb 2023

"Hold Your Ground" is the latest release from Dennis Ward (pictured above) and Khymera. As expected, it's another fine slice of high pedigree melodic rock.

Dennis handles lead vocals, bass, and keyboards and is joined by guitarist Michael Klein, keyboardist Eric Ragno, and drummer MIchael Kolar, with Pete Newdeck contributing backing vocals.

Khymera has in fact built its reputation as one of the best examples of what great European melodic rock is all about. It has crystal clear production, soaring vocals, killer musicianship, and songwriting that reminds fans of the heydays of the genre.

Khymera started out as an alliance between Italian producer/musician Daniele Liverani and then Kansas singer Steve Walsh. But it developed into a regular musical project when bassist and producer Dennis Ward (Magnum, Pink Cream 69) entered the fold. Known as a bassist, Dennis has always sang background vocals with his bands, so he was more than ready and willing to take over the lead vocals for Khymera when the opportunity presented itself.

Dennis took a break from Khymera in 2008 but returned in 2015 for the album "The Grand Design". Their recent album "Master Of Illusions" whcih came out in 202 followed the logical progression of the musical path that was started when Dennis joined the project. It was a strong, extremely melodic release, showcasing the fantastic vocal abilities of Dennis and skills as a songwriter and producer.

Mercifully, the wait between albums has been a bit shorter this time. "Hold Your Ground" is an absolute tour de force of fantastic melodic rock.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) - Dir. Roland Emmerich

King Tut made his first appearance in the Batman episode that aired on April 13, 1966. King Tut was the first villian completely created for the show. While Zelda the Great was technically a new character, her story completely mirrored a comic starring a different villian. ("The Curse of Tut", Batman, TV event)

imagine being Clockblocker and getting resurrected and like. looking over and Brian Labourn/Grue and seeing he's got like, this beautiful vitiligo in the shape of a cool skull on his face and it's like objectively aesthetically cool. and then you look in the mirror and not only is your acne/freckles back but it's in the shape of your stupid clock mask. literally a big stupid round clock face of freckles.

I would be so embarrassed. I would ask Valkarie and Nilbog for another go. Quick pop in and out and see what I look like this time. Can't be worse than the clockface. Probably.

"Not with this little firm I'm not."

"Which firm?"

"Jimmy Sutton's. He don't believe in straighteners. Goes in for surgery."

"Surgery?"

"Amputation with a sawn-off shotgun."

"Ah. Well, you can always apply for a claim at the Criminal Injuries Board."

"I wouldn't have a leg to stand on, would I?"

My favorite personal CN headcanon is that the deer from s3 e15 of Adventure Time is Alan Dracula from s2 of Infinity Train and there isn’t a thing anyone can say to convince me I’m wrong
