WANTED – Cutting Edge (2025) *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ

WANTED is a rising force in the hard rock and metal scene, formed in 2021 with a clear mission: to revive the massive, melodic, and unapologetically loud spirit of classic melodic U.S. metal. Drawing inspiration from icons like Van Halen, Ratt, and Dokken, the band channels the golden era of arena rock while carving out a modern edge all their own.
The current lineup features Sterling Primeau on vocals, Alan Mares on lead guitar, Christian Shonts on rhythm guitar, Paul Slezak on bass, and Chris Rajt on drums, all young dudes united by a shared love for high-octane riffs and soaring melodies.

Signed by Eonian Records, WANTED are releasing today their new CD “Cutting Edge“, delivering a sound that’s both a tribute and a fresh take on the genre’s best. The album builds on their foundation of classic influences, expanding into the realms of Judas Priest, Armored Saint, Scorpions, Great White, Queensrÿche, and Icon. What results is a collection of tracks that blend precision with passion, aggression with anthem-ready hooks.
WANTED previous albums were strong already, and “Cutting Edge” showcases how the guys improved themselves as musicians, more polished yet still melodic heavy. You get hooked since first track, title cut “Cutting Edge”, straight from the classic Ratt book!
