Alpha Destroyer Ignites the Rock Scene with New Single ‘Lobotomized’ – A Supergroup to Watch
(Urgent Breaking News) The rock world is buzzing with the arrival of Alpha Destroyer, a newly formed supergroup comprised of seasoned veterans from the heavy music landscape. Today, they’ve unleashed “Lobotomized,” a blistering track from their debut album, Fast Lane, signaling a potent force ready to shake up the genre. This is a band that isn’t just playing music; they’re delivering a sonic warning.
A Collision of Rock Titans
Alpha Destroyer isn’t your typical band formation. It’s a carefully constructed powerhouse, bringing together the talents of Martin Sweet (known for his work with Crashdïet), Kelly LeMieux (Buckcherry, Goldfinger), Eric Sexton-Dorsett (Sleepless), and Ryan McPhaill, alongside Kevin Hahn. The project originated with Sexton-Dorsett’s vision for a sound that blends the melodic precision of bands like Def Leppard with the raw, chaotic energy of Voivod and Morbid Angel. The band’s genesis on the Monsters of Rock Cruise proved pivotal, fostering the connections that brought this unique lineup together.
‘Lobotomized’ – A Taste of the ‘Fast Lane’
“Lobotomized” is described as a “real bomb in all its aspects,” consolidating the thematic direction of Fast Lane and demonstrating the group’s commitment to uncompromising sonic intensity. The track serves as the third single released from the album, following the eponymous “Fast Lane” and offering a glimpse into the album’s blend of heavy introspection and high-octane rock. Fans can experience the full force of “Lobotomized” now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.

The Evolution of a Supergroup: From Demos to a Full Album
The story of Alpha Destroyer is one of organic growth and serendipitous encounters. What began as Sexton-Dorsett’s solo compositions quickly evolved with the addition of McPhaill’s drumming, forming the core of the project. The crucial meeting with LeMieux on the Monsters of Rock Cruise added a powerful bass foundation, and the eventual collaboration with Sweet – a long-time musical idol for Sexton-Dorsett – transformed a potential EP into a full-fledged album. Sweet’s vocal performance on “Straight into the Grind” is credited with defining the band’s signature sound.
