''Apocalyptic Love'' is the second studio album by guitarist Slash. The album features Slash's backing band, consisting of vocalist Myles Kennedy, bassist Todd Kerns, and drummer Brent Fitz (collectively referred to as Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators). Produced by Eric Valentine, it was released on May 22, 2012. == History and recording == During his first solo world tour, Slash announced his second studio album. Unlike his self-titled debut solo album, which featured a variety of singers including Chris Cornell, Ozzy Osbourne, M. Shadows, and Kid Rock, he said his second album would feature Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy as the sole singer. Kennedy had previously appeared on two songs from Slash's first album, and was later the vocalist of Slash's band on tour. Slash later said that his second album would be more of a collaboration album with Kennedy, and said he was unsure whether it would be released under his own name or a new name entirely.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview: Slash talks Ozzy tour, Velvet Revolver and next solo album )〕 Slash began working on his second solo album in June 2011,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/new_slash_album_slated_for_marchapril.html )〕 and that December, three songs — "Halo," "Standing in the Sun" and "Bad Rain" — had been recorded.
