For those unaware, America’s Led Zeppelin Cactus returns with a thunderous sequel (due out April 3rd, 2026 via Cleopatra Records) that expands the raw blues-rock vision of 2024’s Temple Of Blues with even more fire, swagger, and authority!

Original Cactus drummer Carmine Appice anchors the album with his unmistakable power, groove, and feel, driving every track and reaffirming his status as one of the most influential drummers in rock history.

Fan-favorite contributors to the original TOB are back as well including Ted Nugent, Billy Sheehan, Bumblefoot, Dee Snider, and Pat Travers, joined by an all-new wave of heavy hitters including Steve Morse, Eric Gales, Tracii Guns, Joe Lynn Turner, Rudy Sarzo, Alex Skolnick, and a whole lot more!

The American hard rock and blues-rock band, and now supergroup, open on the throaty grit of Back Door Man Pt. 1 & 2 (featuring Eric Gales & Billy Sheehan) and then we get the drum-fed, guitar-winding 300 Pounds Of Joy (featuring Ty Tabor), the pulsating Moanin’ At Midnight (featuring Pat Travers), and both the funkily-grooved Down In The Bottom (featuring Dug Pinnick) and the down South-imbued hue of Token Chokin’ (featuring Bumblefoot).

Along next is the thunderous Bad Stuff (featuring Steve Morse, Joe Lynn Turner, Derek Sherinian & Tony Franklin) and the melodious, harmonica-driven rocker Tail Dragger (featuring Rudy Sarzo & Alex Skolnick) and they are then backed seamlessly by a throaty, and once again harmonica-driven The Little Red Rooster (featuring Dee Snider, Tracii Guns, & Jimmy Haslip), a dutifully crafted Purple Haze (featuring Melanie), the new set rounding out on the organically jammed Spoonful (featuring Ted Nugent & Bob Daisley) and the propulsive CD only bonus track Feels So Good (featuring Billy Sheehan & Britt Lightning).
