Wu-Tang Clan [ tickets ] founder The RZA [ tickets ] and System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian recently finished recording an album together which is due out this summer, according to a press release. The new band, Achozen [ tickets ], also features Kinetic 9 (aka Beretta 9 from Killarmy) and up-and-comer Reverend William Burke from Chicago.

Odadjian said in a statement that Achozen's music is "a new genre of heavy hip hop," pointing out that it is different than "rap-metal;" there are no heavy guitars on the album, but the sound is genre-blending.

The band's self-titled debut release also features several guest performers including George Clinton, John Frusciante, Wu-Tang affiliate Killah Priest and Wu-Tang founding member GZA among others.

The album's first track, "Deuces," will debut online April 22 at urSESSION.com.
