New supergroup Alpha Destroyer unleashes high energy single Fast Lane blending sleaze rock and heavy groove with all star lineup
ALPHA DESTROYER, the explosive new band featuring Martin Sweet (Crashdïet), Kelly LeMieux (Buckcherry), and Eric Sexton-Dorsett (Sleepless), has launched the first single off their upcoming debut album, Fast Lane. The album is out this fall on Necromantic Press Records.
"The first single and title track, 'Fast Lane,' really sets the pace for the LP," comments Sexton-Dorsett. "Though the album is super diverse, Fastlane comes right out of the gate with a straightforward, almost punk vibe that is matched by Martin's heavy yet melodic lyrical approach to life’s struggles."
Physical copies of Fast Lane -including limited-edition red splatter and standard black vinyl - will begin shipping on September 15. The album will be available on all streaming platforms on October 31. Pre-orders are available at this location.

“This Isn’t a Band. It’s a Warning.”
A new force is rising from the hard rock underground, and it's coming for blood. ALPHA DESTROYER, the explosive new band featuring Martin Sweet (Crashdïet), Kelly LeMieux (Buckcherry), and Eric Sexton-Dorsett (Sleepless), has officially announced their formation and the impending release of their debut album Fast Lane, coming later this year on Necromantic Press.
Forged over four years of late-night riffs, shared stories, and mutual respect aboard the Monsters of Rock Cruise, ALPHA DESTROYER is a five-headed beast that fuses the muscle of modern heavy metal with a razor-sharp melodic edge. Rounding out the lineup are guitarist/producer Kevin Hahn and drummer Ryan McPhaill, both of whom bring decades of high-calibre experience and intensity to the fold.
With influences rooted in heavy rock, classic metal, and progressive doom, Fast Lane is a ten-track juggernaut that kicks down the door from the opening riff. From the high-octane charge of opener "Straight Into the Grind" to the brooding stomp of "Manic Messiah", ALPHA DESTROYER weaves stories of struggle, power, and survival with a sound that’s both brutal and anthemic.
