David Neil Cline has been recording and performing heavy rock for almost 3 decades. A master of the guitar, Hammond Organ, bass guitar, plus lead and backing vocals.

After the break up of the band "Predator" in late 1984, David first solo album "A Fit of Rage" was recorded in 1985, but wasn't released until 1987. The album was only released on vinyl on the indie label Gazochtahagen Records, distributed nationally by Important Records. In 1991 it was released on CD called "A fit of Rage (remix plus two) with two new bonus tracks added. The album was re-mixed and re-mastered to CD again in 2007 with another two bonus tracks added. This is the 20'Th year anniversary CD for the "A Fit of Rage" album. The CD looks exactly like a mini version of the original vinyl album inside and out including record grooves and all.

During a couple years of performing, writing amd recording with the Detroit band 'Trama", David's second album "Malefic Influence" was recorded in 1987 then released in 1989 on cassette and vinyl. A few of the songs on this album were old songs that were writen during the "Predator" band days. This album was also on the Gazochtahagen label and distributed nationally by Important Records for a short time. These vinyl albums have been seen going for up to $100.00 an album in Europe. In 2000 Malefic Influence was mastered to CD.

 In 2001 David released a third CD album called "Thorough Scrutiny". Most of the tracks were originally recorded in the early 1990s in various basement type studios. Some vocal, keyboard and lead guitar tracks were recorded in 2000. Taking a kind of Frank Zappa approach to the production, intertwining the songs with weird keyboard effects and strange events, most of which was members of the band fooling around in the studios while recording. It definately gives you a look into the different and very unusual minds of these very Talented musicians. The song "Fate of Pain" was used in a Canadian movie sound track called "Stupid People do Stupid Things" a Damien Gilbert production. The same song also appeared on many compilation CDs. Thorough Scrutiny also includes two remakes. "Follow Me" written by the late blues guitarist Rory Gallagher and a very cool live version of the song "Snortin Whiskey" by Pat Travers.

 After a licensing deal with the German record label "Rock it up Records", the CD called "A piece of History/The Best of" was released in 2007. The CD contains 4 remixed songs from each of Davids previous albums plus two never heard before bonus tracks. For info go to: http://home.arcor.de/rockitup/

After a long drawn out relocation process and the birth of a brand new recording studio, David is currently recording a new album called "Flying in a Cloud of Controversy". The very angry and political lyrics most definitely fit the title and are sure to stir up some kind of controversy. The CD package will also contain a DVD full of live performances from over the years plus a production video of the song "Road Rage". See David's myspace page to view video clips. There have been some setbacks with the recording of this album but progress is being made and the 15 track mixdown is 3/4's done. Jim Morris of the Jim Morris band recently recorded some amazing tracks on the album adding a lot of additional flavor to the project.
