CYNIC STREAMING NEW SONG ON NPR :::: “CARBON-BASED ANATMOY” EP AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 15th ON SEASON OF MIST

Posted in Artist Watch, New Music, News with tags CARBON-BASED ANATMOY, CYNIC, NPR, The Rock Tribune, TheRockTribune.com on November 4, 2011 by Randy

With less than two weeks before their Carbon-Based Anatomy EP is released, CYNIC have teamed up with NPR to exclusively premiere another new track. The song entitled “Box Up My Bones” can be streamed HERE. In addition be sure to check out NPR’s interview with Cynic front man Paul Masvidal.

On their new EP Carbon-Based Anatomy, CYNIC have once again taken their natural interfusion of musical styles and turned it into something truly singular. Carbon-Based Anatomy is equal parts King Crimson, Tool, Muse and Allan Holdsworth. It’s a 23-minute transcendent musical journey through the fertile musical minds of guitarist Paul Masvidal and progressive drumming icon Sean Reinert. Beginning with their much-venerated 1993 debut release “Focus”, CYNIC have long been famous for pushing musical boundaries. Now in 2011, CYNIC have redefined themselves once again with a 6-song EP that combines diverse influences from 70s-inspired Prog Rock to cutting-edge Metal, tribal folk and futuristic alien shapes and sounds.

Carbon-Based Anatomy can be pre-ordered from iTunes and at the Season of Mist Web Shop. In addition the band has made the title track from the EP available for a free download on their website http://www.cyniconline.com and via the Season of Mist Website.

All of these diverse elements have been harnessed and carefully shaped by mixer John Hiler, into what is unquestionably the most open and expansive-sounding release of

CYNIC’s career. Carbon-Based Anatomy is retro, yet at the same time is unapologetically modern. It is respectful of the groundbreaking artists that have made musical evolution possible yet refuses to be stifled by that reverence. It is wholly appreciative of past musical landmarks but is unashamedly forward- thinking. Carbon-Based Anatomy is CYNIC’s next bold step into the future and is a harbinger of the great music to come.

CYNIC will be joined on their US and European tours by new members Brandon Giffin (ex-The Faceless) on bass and Baltimore Holdsworth-styled guitar prodigy Max Phelps. Tour dates are can be found below.

Lineup: Paul Masvidal – Vocals, Guitars Sean Reinert – Drums, Percussion Sean Malone – Bass (Album) Amy Correia – Vocals (Album) Max Phelps – Guitar, Vocals (Live) Brandon Giffin – Bass (Live)

New Music: Seven Days After

Posted in All Metal, Artist Watch, New Music, News with tags Jesse Saint, Matt McChesney, music, Seven Days After, the Autumn Offering, The Rock Tribune, TheRockTribune.com on November 4, 2011 by Randy

Seven Days After: Was founded in 2010 after the break up of Victory Records Artist “the Autumn Offering” and frustrated with the state of heavy metal, Matthew and Jesse decided to do something more melodic. They both grew up on Slayer, but also bands like Alice In Chains and Soundgarden were huge favorites. Known for having a great set of pipes. Matt McChesney: was exited to really show what he could do. The clean passages of his former bands “The Autumn Offering” and “Hell Within” were few and far between. With such aggressive music, Matthew always did what the song called for, which was usually roaring like Godzilla. Now with Seven Days After, he has a platform for his melodic singing. The album is full of great vocal harmonies, passionate singing and memorable haunting music that will stay with you!!!

Jesse Saint: brings his amazing guitar skills, and massive tone to this record. Rather than shredding like he did on the “self titled” Autumn Offering record he chose to show the haunting, more melodic side to his playing (Guitar nerds don’t worry, there are some blistering bluesy solo’s to be heard). Jesse who has toured with many bands of varied styles like “Scum of the Earth, Silent Civilian, & Depswa” was more focused on memorable catchy melodies and bone crushing Riffs.

No Ego on this album “The Writing” took precedent fusing elements of 90’s rock, Heavy Riffs, and Monster hooks Fans of bands like Alice N Chains, Stone Sour, Faith no More, etc will love this new Hard Rock Act. The bands 1st full length album is due out Winter of 2011 and was produced by logan Mader (Machine Head, Soulfly, Devil Driver, Dommin etc).

SEVEN DAY SONNET to Support SEVENDUST on Select Tour Dates this Fall – Tour Kicks-Off in Pensacola, FL on November 22nd, 2011

Posted in Artist Watch, New Music, News with tags Johnny K, Seven Day Sonnet, sevendust, The Rock Tribune, TheRockTribune.com on November 3, 2011 by Randy

Chicago, IL’s SEVEN DAY SONNET recently announced their November/December tour trek with Sevendust and Eye Empire and dates are now available! See below for all currently booked tour dates.
The band just finished their Fallen Heroes / Rising Rock tour in support of their latest single, ‘Farewell To Good Days’, which is produced by the Johnny K Camp (Disturbed, Staind, Sevendust) and charted at #1 on the BDS New and Active Rock Chart. The track is in rotation at several of today’s hottest stations, including new adds at WJJO and WRIF this week. You can view the new music video for ‘Farewell To Good Days’, on the band’s YouTube page. The video is also in current rotation on MTV and at MTV.com. The band’s previous single, ‘Hapless’, spent over 17 weeks within the Top 50 on the BDS New and Active Rock Chart.
The band will enter Groovmaster Studios in Chicago, IL in January with the Johnny K Camp to complete work on their debut full-length, self-titled album set to be unleashed on the world in April 2012 with Big Time Records.
“Before entering the recording studio in early 2012, we are extremely excited to announce that we will be hitting the road in support of Sevendust,” states bassist Anthony Lojeski. “We could not have asked for a better end to our touring cycle than to go out with a band that has heavily influenced us over the years, and that we have the utmost respect for. This is the kind of “high note” we want to be on going into the winter where we will be writing and recording for our first full length release since signing with Big Time Records. We have achieved much, been through and done a lot over the past year and are really looking forward to crafting an album that we are proud of and that truly represents what SEVEN DAY SONNET is all about.”
Refusing to slow down over the past year, SEVEN DAY SONNET has gone from playing back alley clubs to expanding practically overnight– touring with bands like Saliva, Sevendust, Rev Theory, Nonpoint and Adelitas Way and recording with Grammy Award-winning producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down) and Grammy-nominated producer Johnny K.
