It’s been said that when one thing ends, another begins. Well, in the case of Los Angeles/ New York-based hard rock quartet FOR THE TAKING, two things had to end. First, swaggering frontman Toryn Green’s time as lead vocalist for multi-platinum rockers FUEL and later, Finnish Goth rock outfit APOCALYPTICA , had to conclude. Then, Long Island hard rockers A FAREWELL FIRE needed a new direction and once united with AFF’s guitarist Eddie Raccioppi, bassist Mike Zagel, and drummer Ray Rossler, FOR THE TAKING was born.
