CHARLIE JOHNSTON-guitar

Charlie began playing guitar at age 6 and was thereafter classically trained for four years by a resident instructor at the University of Maryland. By 10, Charlie had become enamored with the unique style and characteristics of Tony Iommi. From that point on, Charlie has logged thousands of hours over the last 26 years honing the works of this guitar god. As a result, many of the original projects Charlie remain involved in are deeply influenced in this regard.

Charlie's Gear & Amplification consist of the Limited Edition Tony Iommi Signature Gibson SG Standard (ebony) outfitted with the Tony Iommi Signature Gibson pickup (bridge position), Patrick Eggle Tony Iommi Artist (ebony with mother of pearl cross inlays) outfitted with Seymour Duncan hot rail pickups wound exclusively for Tony Iommi, Laney GH100 TI Tony Iommi Signature 100 watt amplifier, Laney GS412LA speaker cabinet, Cry Baby Wah, Boss Digital Delay. The Laney/Gibson combination captures the punchy mid's and clarity best exemplified on the "Reunion" CD. In fact, it is the combination used by Tony Iommi on Reunion, Ozzfest Tours and Iommi CD!


DEE BRIAN C.-vocals, harmonica

Dee found his love for music at the age of nine after seeing Kiss on an ABC special.  He soon discovered a natural ability to sing and began honing his talent at age 12, both in garage bands and in his school choir (where his instructor dubbed him "The Human Air Raid Siren," after Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson).  His ability to perform the works of such vocal giants as Rob Halford and the aforementioned Dickinson quickly earned him praise as one of his area's premiere frontmen.  Dee is also an accomplished bassist and songwriter, having performed on numerous recordings with various acts.

An imposing figure onstage, Dee's gear consists of Audio-Technica wireless microphone systems, Lee Oskar harmonicas, one throat, two lungs of leather, house PA, Gatorade, and a trusty flask of Jagermeister.

Dee's personal site is DeeBrianC.com.


STEVE JOHNSTON-bass

Steve was originally a drummer with a real flair for the Bill Ward style. As fate would have it, however, his parents would have none of the racket. Steve quickly switched to bass at age 12 and became deeply influenced by the aggressive style and of Geezer Butler. Naturally, Steve cites Geezer as his main influence during his development as a bassist.

Steve's Gear and amplification consists of a Fender Precision Bass, an Aguilar DB 359 head, an Aguilar GS410 enclosure, and doorag. This combination produces the punchy treble tinged tone that has made Geezer Butler instantly recognizable.


CHRIS HANSEN-drums

Like the proverbial prodigal son, Chris returned to the fold in late 2007. A heavy hitter, Chris was weaned on Sabbath, and considers Bill Ward one of his primary influences.
