Peterik was so impressed with what he heard, that he chose Marc to demo the tunes he wrote which ended up on the last Pride of Lions album, \u201cImmortal\u201d. Scherer\u2019s back-up singing on the album blends seamlessly with front man Toby Hitchcock\u2019s voice. \u201cWhen I heard Marc&#8217;s amazing voice pouring though my studio door, I could not believe my ears\u201d says Peterik. \u201cTruly one of the best voices I\u2019ve heard- and I\u2019ve worked with the best!\u201d  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>One of the songs originally intended for that album, \u201cChange Everything\u201d, became Marc\u2019s debut single on a compilation of melodic rock artists entitled MRCD9 \u201c15 Years Later\u201d, which is available from www.melodicrock.com.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, Peterik started composing an album designed to showcase Marc\u2019s talent.
