We have just started re-recording the new cd "Relentless". Originally we had completed the entire album except for mixing. However just after completion we parted ways with our drummer. Once new drummer Steve Spicer got on board it was clear what needed to be done. Re-record the entire cd. Why? Because along with a new drummer comes new dynamics and new interaction between band members. Instead of going in and having Steve play along with the exisiting drums and then just replace them we felt it would be best to redo the entire cd. Since Steve joined the band we have done numerous shows and many rehearsals. Through all that playing the songs have become tighter and new ideas have found their way to the musical surface. It's almost a blessing in disguise, lose a drummer and get a whole new way at looking at things. The new cd is going to SLAM!!!
We have already laid down basic tracks for 6 songs. We are shelving 2 older ones and writing 2 or 3 new ones. The energy on this album is through the roof. Can't wait for everyone to hear it! So for those of you that have heard the album with the old drummer.....it isn't going to be anything like that at all.
