Los Angeles based metallic fusioneers Cosmosquad present Acid Test, a co-production with drummer Shane Gaalaas (Diesel Machine, Glenn Hughes) and guitarist Jeff Kollman (UFO, Mogg/Way, $ign Of 4, Crumb Bros.) recorded at Crumb West Studios in Simi Valley, CA between February and April, 2007. Acid Test marks the group`s first studio effort since 2001`s highly acclaimed "Squadrophenia". "I`m really stoked to have this new record coming out - it`s been way too long!" enthuses Gaalaas. "It seems that everything came together very naturally and it was a lot of fun to collaborate with Jeff again. I think we take the listener on quite the journey throughout Acid Test - epic songs with lots of movement, heaviness, some greasiness, and an amazing ballad from Kollman that really sets him apart from other guitar players. The playing is certainly elevated a notch but we still retain the classic `Squad vibe - the stuff that made us famous, ha ha!"
