Jimi Hazel — guitarist, vocalist and producer of 24-7 SPYZ — has announced the formation of what is now being billed as the "first black supergroup" called A.N.M. (a.k.a. ANTI N***ER MACHINE).

The band's lineup is as follows:

* Doug Pinnick (KING'S X): Vocals
* Jimi Hazel (24-7 SPYZ): Guitar, Vocals
* Rick Skatore (24-7 SPYZ): Bass, Vocals
* Spacey T (SOUND BARRIER, FISBONE): Guitar, Vocals
* Greg Fulton (CYCLONE TEMPLE, RWA): Guitar, Vocals
* Phil D. Fish (FISHBONE, WICKED WISDOM): Drums, Percussion

Commented Jimi: "This is gonna be a beautiful thing and we will drop some of the heaviest, funkiest and crunchiest music heard in a long time!

"I'm honored to be a part of music making history with my brothers and I know that people will be more than happy when they hear what comes from us!"

A.N.M. is currently talking to labels in search of a home for what will become one of the highly anticipated releases of 2010. The band plans to spend the winter writing and recording and hopes to release a CD in late spring or early summer.
