POWER PROG is proud to annonce the signing of one of Germany's
premier voices of rock, Carsten 'Lizard' Schulz. Now the common goal is
the release of his first solo album "The Day The Earth Stopped Turning"
under the flag of "Carsten Lizard Schulz Syndicate" at November 20,
2015 as Double CD, download card, digital download and stream, which
was created with the participation of some really big names out of the
current rock and metal scene.
Carsten 'Lizard' Schulz is certainly no stranger to the international Rock
& Metal scene and he can look back on a more than 20 years lasting and
successful career. As lead singer and formative element of well known
acts like DOMAIN, EVIDENCE ONE, CODE OF PERFECTION and
MIDNITE CLUB in the first decade of the 2000s, he has influenced the
German hard rock scene like only a few other artists. His lead singing
skills can be also enjoyed on more recent albums by DEAD END
HEROES, LAVALLE, RIK PRIEM'S PRIME, FROZEN RAIN and many
others and as a guest singer he can be heard on countless other
releases. But Carsten is also a highly sought-after songwriter. You can
listen the works out of his pen on albums by RUSSELL ALLEN / MAT
SINNER, VENGEANCE, GARY JOHN BARDEN etc. ... A real musical
workaholic since years!

A real labor of love is the realization of his first solo album "The Day The Earth Stopped Turning". A process that
took many years to complete - on the one hand for reasons of time, to the other hand to present the best possible
and identifiable result. As a die-hard fan of the good old 70s, Carsten's clear intention was to create an adult and
classical hard rock album with the special old-school flair. Under the decisive participation of his congenial partner
Steffen Seeger and with the help and support by dozens of well-known artists from the last four decades (such as
Axel Rudi Pell, Mat Sinner, Neil Murray, Erik Norlander and lots of others), a classic rock album has emerged that
seeks of his peers in the current world of music and which is much more than a tribute to the good old days. A
man, his friends and their mission give us an over 80 minutes lasting listening pleasure which brings us back to the
past and to greats like LED ZEPPELIN, DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW, WHITESNAKE, URIAH HEEP, NAZARETH,
KANSAS, MANFRED MANN ... But hey, definitely no reheated brew, this is how straight sophisticated classic
hard rock should sound today!
