Hideous Sun Demons

About Me

This very melodic intrumental band features drummer and founding member RAY LUZIER (Korn, Army Of Anyone, David Lee Roth, Billy Sheehan, Nixons), bassist JAMES LOMENZO (Megadeth, Black Label Society, Ozzy, David Lee Roth) and guitarist TOSHI HIKETA (David Lee Roth). It all got started when they were touring the world with the DLR Band in 2002. Each member has a great passion for music and the chemistry between them shines on this disc as they cover a wide range of styles. The debut CD from the Demons is now available in music stores worldwide. For more info, reviews, more sound clips and to order it online, visit magnacarta.net or click on the link to the left of this bio. James, originally from New York, is now a full time member of MEGADETH. Ray, from outside of Pittsburgh PA, is now in ARMY OF ANYONE (with Robert and Dean Deleo from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and Richard Patrick from FILTER) and Toshi, from Osaka Japan, is with the legendary DAVID LEE ROTH. They still have plans to do a follow up CD when they can find time in their busy schedules.
