SULLVATION, the explosive solo album hailing from Chicago, is the brainchild of bassist Brent Sullivan, a founding member of renowned underground bands like Slauter Xstroyes, Winter Kill, and Mindwarp Chamber.

Throughout the album, echoes of iconic bands such as Judas Priest, Metal Church, and even Slayer reverberate, paying homage to the timeless classics of the metal genre.
Teaming up with his longtime friend and former bandmate Chuck White (ex-Ion Vein and more), Sullivan has also gathered a group of talented local Chicagoland musicians, creating a small tribute to the thriving local talent pool. This album is a treat for metal enthusiasts, featuring a diverse array of melodic vocal performances, including the unforgettable Tim “Ripper” Owens, who adds a special touch in between his touring commitments.
