A2Z2 is the second acclaimed release from stellar pedigreed players that give the quintet Supergroup status, but whose commitment to the band and music fresh and powerful.

Mark Zonder, famed former Fates Warning and Warlord drummer, started working on material in early 2020; he had a very clear vision for the band he wanted to put together. “I was thinking beer commercials, car commercials and Cobra Kai. I wanted to have a very accessible band that would appeal to the masses and would lead to the ability to tour larger venues and build a second and third record off the success of the first. I knew from myself and the others that I would recruit, it would have some sophisticated music parts but the big hook was the main priority.”

The result was A-Z, reuniting him with Fates Warning vocalist Ray Alder and Warlord/Steve Vai/Ring of Fire bassist Philip Bynoe (a three-time Grammy nominee)
