Singer-songwriter/guitarist Dylan Rice wrote "The Faces of Victory" as a rock anthem inspired by the Gay Games--a kind of "We Are the Champions" for the LGBT community. Together with the help of STYX bassist Chuck Panozzo, his long-time friend and mentor, the recording is a first-ever collaboration between the two out musicians. Rice and Panozzo have been invited to perform "The Faces of Victory" at the Gay Games Closing Ceremonies in summer 2006 in Chicago at Wrigley Field.
