Really getting excited about the release of Worldview. For those of you who don't quite understand why I am no longer with Warrior because of time constraints yet, I am doing an album with Recon members. First and foremost let me start out by saying that, Steve, Bruce, Tony and Joe are still and always will be my brothers. I have spent many years building what I call, A life long family of friends. There never was nor is there now any animosity between the guys and myself. We really wanted to release a new Warrior CD for you guys but, It was a long hard road, Me living in Florida and the guys in Chicago. In addition to the distance thing, there have been lots of health issues as well. The guys were ready to put this thing out for you guys but I was holding them back so, Bruce and I spoke and we both felt that it would be best for everyone if I stepped down. So I did and God has sent Eli Prinsen to the band, I want every one to accept him and respect him as a great vocalist. I know he loves Jesus and I know that he is a great addition to Warrior.
Now about the Worldview Project, This is the result of one brother having a wish for two friends, sort of his last wish. Rick Macias had told me for a long time that he wanted to do a CD with George, Rick and Rey, something different yet awesome. Well Rick never had the satisfaction of doing the disc with George and myself so, after Rick going off to be with Jesus, George and I decided to do this in Ricks memory.
This is not Warrior or Recon, it's completely different but it is very anointed and it rocks. That's why we did not pursue the Recon name for the project. I hope everyone who reads this post will tune in on Thursday and rejoice with us as we unveil the song, "Last Cry" on Beyond the Riff. Thank you to all my friends and family.

Yes. I created the logo and the artwork that they have on their Facebook page. Right now I am working on ideas for the album.

Thanks. George loved the first idea I came up with, and I was surprised with how it turned out myself.

The single will be available on reverbnation on Sunday.

You can hear the track on the Beyond the Riff show here, fast forward all the way to the end.

Ok, so the song is finally up. Sounds pretty good to me. What do you guys think?

Good grief Rey Parra is awesome...good tune.

Excellent tune.

Very cool. Now I'm thinking this SW split was probably a good thing.

Ooooh me likey!!

Sounds good - I am sure I will check this one out when it is released

Sounds like Rey's voice is still great. The song isn't really sticking to me though.

It's good but I like the new SW better. Will have to hear more from both bands. This new World View tune sounds like SW (not a bad thing either)

Cool!

I predict a killer album!

Rey sounds great! Looking forward to this......

thanks for the link to the clip

Just saw this and checking out the free download, its not bad at all... I could get into that I think

Rey freakin' Parra!


looking forward to hearing more!

Me too, I liked a few songs by SW but I loved george's guitarmanship in the past D releases. Never really checked out Recon

Addy check this out for a sample of classic Recon
