Pursuit Of Power's Melodic Power Metal CD Released 'Across The World'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Irish Shred Records) Irish Shred Records has released Across The World, the debut melodic power metal CD by Pursuit Of Power. It contains nine originals and a remake of the Krokus song Russian Winter. The physical CD is available from Pursuit Of Power's official website and CDBaby and as a download from CDBaby as well as several MP3 stores, most notably iTunes and Amazon.com.

Although Pursuit Of Power is being referred to as a band, it is more accurately a studio project created entirely by Indiana guitarist Martin McCann. McCann wrote all of the music and lyrics, played all of the instruments, and then enlisted a former bandmate Steve Mullican Jr. to do the vocals. McCann says on the CD's liner notes, "…the whole time I was writing these songs, I felt like I was writing for a melodic metal band. From the start, I have always seen Pursuit Of Power as a band, even if that band was only in my mind. But that's how every band starts out anyway, an idea in someone's mind…the next step is to put together a line-up to perform these songs live and use this project as a building block."

Pursuit Of Power was conceived by McCann in 2009 when he began building Audio Moments Recording Studio in his home. He spent 2010 writing, and 2011 recording both his and other people's music. Pursuit Of Power takes it's name from one of the songs that he wrote. That song was released as a digital only single in June of 2011 to pave the way for this first full-length CD, Across The World.
