ATLANTA, GA - Brash Music has announced that ex-Cult and Guns 'N' Roses Drummer MATT SORUM's new solo project album, "Hollywood Zen," is now available online at www.mattsorum.com.

Co-produced with Lanny Cordola, and engineered and mixed by Kevin Smith, "Hollywood Zen" has Sorum singing, playing guitar and drums, and features special guest appearances by some of Sorum's musical friends. Also available for sale are limited edition copies autographed by Sorum.

Featured tracks include 'The Blame Game,' which includes soaring guitar work by rock legend Slash; and 'Sunset Boulevard,' an homage to the Hollywood celebrity fame game. "This is a very personal reflection of my life in rock and roll over the past two decades.

It chronicles my own experiences with touring, addictions, relationships and my hometown Los Angeles," says Sorum. "This record was a very liberating, cathartic experience."

This project was completed earlier this year while Matt's new band Velvet Revolver was putting together their line up of ex-Stone Temple Pilots' frontman Scott Weiland, ex-Guns N' Roses bandmates Slash and Duff McKagan, plus David Kushner of Suicidal Tendencies.

Sorum has been in the studio most of this month laying down the drum tracks for the Velvet Revolver debut album.
