LION OF JUDAH - these guys are my fav, always the best shows whether it's a projection of various mind altering images behind them while they perform or adding a 3rd guitar player in the mix for a show at a venue that barely holds 4 piece bands

posted this on theb9.com , figured i'd post it here as well... the record is in it's final mixing stages and will be sent off in 2 short weeks with a release date tentatively slated for AUGUST 5TH. artwork, flyers, banners, hype. all that very soon. stay tuned.

Diamonds in the rough(no, NOT jack's old band!)

So joe has sent us the first mixes of the 5 new tracks we recorded with him a few weeks ago and i am ecstatic. i knew they sounded great because we heard them in the studio and we dont really need heavy mixes/producing to carry our sound so it's just the very fine tuning we will be paying attention to, like drum hits and standout parts, etc! Joe Mitra did an EXCELLENT job at recording us and all around just being able to handle and deal with Alarmed in a manner to enable us to record equally as excellent. I'm really pleased with Huge Leaps & Mouthbreathers - two relatively old songs that we breathed some life into and i'm very happy we did so. at first we were skeptical about putting Huge Leaps on the 7" but much like the story to that song, it's ended up rearing its fierce head over the course of it's existence. Mouthbreathers was given an intro/interlude almost and adds variety. I'm stoked on these fucking recordings....without giving too much away i just wanted to talk a little bit about the shit you think you will hear when you listen. I am still working on the layout and some shirt designs. Getting around to posting pics soon
