10th Anniversary Magik & Mayhem

This year marks ten years since the release of the Magik & Mayhem album by AREA 27.

AREA 27 is a collaboration between Los Angeles based singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Shalien and yours truly (Rokk Lattanzio a.k.a. Lord Of The Starfields).

To say the title of the album was inspired by the true life events and experiences during the making of, would be a gross understatement. The back story could easily be the subject of an unbelievable novel if it wasn’t true. However we are all about letting the songs tell the story and letting the listener infuse the lyrics with their own subtext, so don’t expect a book or movie anytime soon.

As part of celebrating this anniversary I recently remastered the song ‘Human ALien’ from the album. It’s always been one of my personal favourite Magik & Mayhem tracks but was never released as a single or promted as a stand alone song in any way. Although the original still sounded great I’m particularly happy with the extra bit of liveliness and punch of the remastered versio; so it’s time release the newly remastered version to the universe. You can expect a video soon and perhaps even a specially packaged remastered AREA 27 EP with some rarities. I say perhaps because nothing in the AREA 27 cosmos is ever totally within our control. – Lord Of The Starfields

In the meantime here’s a preview of the remastered Human Alien.
