Revolution Harmony, the brainchild of British music lecturer/journalist Ray Holroyd,
has announced the July 18th release of its debut All-Star charity
single, 'We Are.' The song features vocals from Serj Tankian (System Of A
Down) and Ihsahn (Emperor), as well as guitar solos by Devin Townsend.
Composed, arranged, programmed and produced by Ray Holroyd in Vancouver, the complex international studio project was recorded in North America, England, Norway and New Zealand, then mixed by Rohan Onraet (Slipknot, Machine Head) in London, and mastered by Ted Jensen (Green Day, Muse) in New York. The single also features Stefan Loh (We Claimed Sentience Once - signed to Revolution Harmony) on guitars, and additional vocals from the young up-and-coming UK singer Abbie Johnson.
Vancouver-based non-profit record label Revolution
Harmony was launched in 2011 by Holroyd. After founding the non-profit
Grade 9 Records in 2008 and growing the label over three successful
years, Holroyd decided to expand upon what he had originally established
as a means for his students to sell their music and donate the profits
to charity, and Revolution Harmony was born. Revolution Harmony acts as a
two-way channel, providing an outlet for artists to release their music
worldwide and earn money from it, and providing an inlet for the label
profits from that music to be redirected to charities that restore
harmony between all people, animals and the environment.
The lyrical theme in 'We Are' is based on the
concept behind Revolution Harmony, which is essentially the belief that
musical harmony has the power to inspire a revolution towards societal
harmony. The single is dedicated to Nelson Mandela and the memory of
Lucky Dube, regarded as South Africa's Bob Marley, and will be released
worldwide on Mandela Day (18 July), with all proceeds donated to
Buskaid, a charity that provides free music lessons and instruments to
children in the townships of South Africa.
