New solo work is on the horizon for Ratt's Stephen Pearcy.
The 69-year-old singer shared via Instagram a quick snippet of his song "Drive," which is set to be in his upcoming sixth solo album on Friday. According to his caption, the guitar solo is done by a special guest guitarist, who has not been announced yet, and was written by SEP Muzik.
In addition, the album is set to have multiple guitar solos and drum features on various songs, plus a lead vocal collaboration, which will be his first as a solo artist. The bulk of the upcoming record will be written by the members of Ratt, including Erik Ferentinos and produced and mixed by Matt Thorne. The complete project does not have a set release date, but is expected sometime this summer.

Born and raised in Southern California, Pearcy formed Mickey Ratt in 1977 in San Diego. Four years later, the band shortened their name to Ratt and eventually established their lineup by 1983. The metal group gained its following playing small venues around Los Angeles and released their self-titled debut EP. Their breakthrough album, Out of the Cellar, was released through Atlantic Records in 1984, which led to Ratt opening for bigger artists such as ZZ Top, Ozzy Osborune and Billy Squier, before the band started heading out on their own arena tours around the world throughout the 1980s and 1990s. After releasing seven albums with Ratt, Pearcy decided to leave in 1992 to pursue other projects, but he ended up coming back multiple times until the band split for good in 2022.
The singer formed other groups such as Arcade, Vicious Delite and Vertex, as well as embarked on a solo career. As a soloist, Pearcy has released seven studio albums, with his most recent being View to a Thrill in 2018 with Frontiers Music Records.
"Drive" and Pearcy's upcoming project are set to be released this summer through his own Top Fuel Records via Top Fuel ENT.
