Quote -

Bob Saporiti - Former Sr. VP / General Manager, Warner Bros. Records.  “In the current environment of digital do-it-yourself musical albums, the quality control mechanisms of the past have lessened much to the chagrin of this and many other listeners. However, the efforts of Garry King and Paul Jupe remain worthy of attention from the most discriminating of music lovers at this time, pastimes and forever into the future, as this is music of the highest quality”

Garry joined the very very short lived multinational doom metal act Exorcism with Guitar Virtuoso Joe Stump in August 2013 where he met the amazing bassist and musician Lucio Manca. Together they have recorded on countless tracks since then including the now released A.G.D 'A Good Day' record.
