Iwrestledabearonce nearing fully recording third studio album

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , on 26th April 2013 by Nico Davidson

Experimental-metalcore act Iwrestledabearonce have announced they’re almost finished with tracking their forthcoming, third studio album, which is due out later this year.

Currently held-up in their band-compound and recording studio in Los Angeles, Iwrestledabearonce are pushing themselves musically like never before.  While known for their schizophrenic sound and unconventional song structure, Iwrestledabearonce is approaching their next record with a new focus and a determination to deliver an album that will surprise fans and entirely re-define who they are as a band. Guitarist Steven Bradley comments:

Well damn! After another two years of non-stop touring, some unexpected twists, and getting to visit some new and amazing places, we’re finally back in the studio working on full length number three! I’ve 100% NEVER been this excited about an IWABO album, because it feels like we’ve finally reigned in “our sound” even further and really hit a stride in terms of songwriting.  We’ve always admired bands like Deftones, Cynic, Thrice, Glassjaw, Mr. Bungle, Dredg, Cephalic Carnage, The Mars Volta, et cetera because they’ve never made the same album twice, and aren’t scared to keep evolving while still maintaining their signature styles. Obviously I’d never compare us to the greatness of those bands, but, in keeping with that mentality, we’ve progressed a bit more and put together our best collection of songs so far.

Bradley who is producing, engineering, mixing and mastering the album himself also adds:

The heavy parts are heavier and more interesting, the choruses are stronger, and the “weird twists” that people have come to expect in our music are way more thought-out than in the past and definitely hit harder than ever.  Long story short – we’re very excited about getting this album finished and released, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks for listening, and keep in touch with us on our facebook/twitter/etc where we will be posting frequent updates!

Iwrestledabearonce’s upcoming album will also be the debut of the band’s electrifying new scream-sing queen Courtney LaPlante, who joined the band with only a 24 hour notice in between shows on the band’s run with Warped Tour in 2012.  Her contributions to the new music have not only re-energized the band but have also allowed them to explore new growth as a cohesive unit. LaPlante comments:

Since the day I joined this band, I’ve been anticipating this album! I was pushed to the limit creatively and technically, and I’ve never been more proud of myself or my bandmates. We’ve been through alot this year, and this is the pay-off; the result of our experiences. Most importantly, I think IWABO fans both old and new will really enjoy these songs, and we can’t wait to play them live for you this summer!

Keep up with the band’s progress in the studio at this location.

Astaroth End Silence With New Album To Be Released Later This Month

Posted in News with tags , , , on 5th December 2012 by Nico Davidson

Legendary Italian metal pioneers Astaroth have announced the release of their first ever full-length album through She Wolf Records on 21st December. The album, entitled The End Of Silence, was produced by the band’s bassist, Saverio ‘Shining’ Principini, and engineered by Michael Tacci (Metallica, Whitesnake) in Los Angeles. The End Of Silence marks the band’s first new output since their 1985 cult classic, The Long Loud Silence mini-LP, and reunites the original members Principini, guitarist Max Cipicchia and drummer Jan D’Amore. American born newcomer Ace Alexander will be handling vocal duties in place of original frontman Bob Cattani.

“This is the album we were supposed to make after The Long Loud Silence but didn’t get the chance to for a myriad of reasons“, stated  bassist Principini. “All of the songs we’ve recorded for The End Of Silence were originally written in the mid 80′s as we prepared for our second record. Luckily, we found a bunch of old murky live tapes which helped reignite our collective memories. Even though it’s now a quarter century later and everything’s changed so much, we feel that these recordings very much embody the original Astaroth spirit. This has been a total labor of love for all of us and we can’t wait to share this with our old fans as well as hopefully make a few new ones along the way.“

The End Of Silence tracklisting:

‘My Sleeping Beauty’
‘Dilemma’
‘Nero’s Fire’
‘Apocalypse In The Living Room’
‘The Siren Song’
‘Dreams Die First’
‘Stand Or Fall Together’
‘In Spite Of Destiny’
‘Mystic As Tarot’
‘Chainless Slaves’

Excerpts of all the songs are posted in streaming audio at this location.
