9 Chambers

Combining classic rock with a bluesy stoner groove, 9 Chambers is a band that lives up to its rock & roll pedigree. Formed by ex-Monster Magnet guitarist Ed Mundell, and Alice Cooper and Lita Ford sideman Greg Hampton, the band takes a guitar-focused approach to heavy rock, delivering heavy riffs and psychedelic explorations aplenty. To fill out the lineup, Mundell and Hampton looked to veterans like former Dio and Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice and Gov’t Mule bassist Jorgen Carlsson. With this collection of heavy hitting talent in place, the band released their self-titled debut in 2011. ~ Gregory Heaney
