From his prolific solo work as a Producer, Writer, Video Game Music Composer and Author, to his prominent memberships in many influential groups, Joshua Craig has displayed one of the most fiery creative personas of our time and has continually affirmed his stance in the upper echelon of contemporary super guitarists. Equally attention-grabbing as his incendiary chops, Joshua’s stage show and visual presence remain unique among the rock field. Joshua Craig originally hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona. From 1997 to 2006, Joshua was a top call session musician in Los Angeles, California, performing on a collective of over 36 million albums sold. Joshua then decided to begin his career as a Frontman/Songwriter/Producer, enter “The Alien Blakk”.

The new recording by “The Alien Blakk”, entitled “Bekoming”, celebrates this unparalleled artist’s achievements in sonic sound and agressive approach equally, that he has come to be known for. “Bekoming”, truly is a must own cd for the contemporary rock, metal and guitar enthusiast.

Having worked with the likes of Rob Halford, Coolio, Xzibit, Motograter, Christina Aguilera, Dr. Dre as well as members of Metallica, Fear Factory, Testament, KISS, White Zombie, Whitesnake, CKY, Flotsam & Jetsam, Earshot, Adema, Soulfly, Murderdolls, Fight, Methods Of Mayhem, Stuck Mojo, Halford, Double Drive, Powerman 5000, Death and Cypress Hill to name a few, Joshua enlisted David Ellefson and Craig Nielsen for “The Alien Blakk”.

“The Alien Blakk”, recorded a demo, which became a European release under Black Lotus Records. Black Lotus, went out of business the week that “The Alien Blakk” release entitled “Modes Of Alienation”, became available. As stated in the contract for “The Alien BLakk”, “in case of an Act Of G’d or said company filing bankruptcy, all Master recordings would revert back to Joshua”. -The Masters to the original release and any other release options, have reverted back to Joshua in perpetuity. A very special version of “Modes Of Alienation”, has been re-released the very same day as “Bekoming”.

“Bekoming”, is the new offering from “The Alien Blakk”, taking almost 3 full years to compose and record. As there was no label or time limitation, the group rediscovered music in a spiritual and personally reflective sence. The new direction soon became a groundbreaking and cathartic direction for Joshua, especially in his own life. The band worked diligently to hone the new direction that will surely influence Metal Bands for the next generation.
