Unearth Begin Work On New LP

Massachusetts’ Unearth have begun work the follow-up to 2006’s “III: In The Eyes of Fire,” tentatively due in October via Metal Blade Records. The bulk of the CD’s instrumental tracks are being recorded at Massachusetts’ System Recording Studios with producer Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage guitarist), while the album’s drum tracks are being laid to tape by drummer Derek Kerswill (Kingdom Of Sorrow, Seemless) at Zing Studios. The as-yet-untitled record is said to feature the band’s “most dynamic material to date, combining strong tension and release, abundant guitar solos and a bulldozing power-groove.”

“HEAVY METAL SHRED MAYHEM! NOW WITH 50% MORE GUITAR SOLOS!! If the new Unearth songs were laundry detergent, then this is what it would say on the box,” dishes Unearth lead guitarist Buz McGrath. “Fortunately for all you metal maniacs, it’s not laundry soap but a mind-blowing journey consisting of epic mosh and shred, so we had to call in the one man who could wrangle such a massive beast — Adam Dutkiewicz. We are very excited to be working with him again and between 40 oz. chugging and doing burn-outs in Ken’s ‘82 Corvette, we are recording what will definitely be the best album of our career.”

A “teaser” look at Unearth working in the studio can be accessed via the band’s MySpace page at this location. Additional looks at the recording of the album, including fly-on-the-wall video footage, riffs and excerpts of new music will be made available in the coming weeks.

Just got into these guys a couple of weeks ago. I'll looking up to this once I get one of their albums.

[trivium65]

hell yeah!!!

adam d. will make that shit be heavy.

[Viva-la-mark]

I'm looking forward to this.
But the guitarist seems a little TOO excited about it.

[i_am_metalhead]

Awesome! They are an amazing band and they put on one hell of a live show (if you haven't seen them yet then you really should!). Can't wait for this album!

[chimpinatux]

This should be brilliant, im digging the idea of more solos, these guys can show off but theyve been fairly restrained in the past

[Nathan_393]

it seems like everybody's copying Metallica's "Let's do fly on the wall videos of us in the studio!" strategy.
it's starting to be silly.

[DrLoveFuzz]

i kinda forgot they were a band for second there...

wow, thanks UG

[Kevin97220]

[LazyLatinoRocke]

They are pretty sick live.
Album sounds like it should be pretty damn good too.
I know I'm gunna have to put up a massive flame shield for this, but I'm 1000x's more psyched about this than Metallica's newest effort.

Someone is gunna misread that and take it as an attack on Metallica, but it's a matter of personal ****ing opinion!
Also, never been much of a Metallica fan outside of ...AJFA.

UNEARTH!!!!! UNEARTH!!!!! UNEARTH!!!!! UNEARTH!!!!! UNEARTH!!!!! UNEARTH!!!!!

[ripdbdarrell90]

Yeah I agree im way more phsyched for this than I am for metallicas new cd.

[drumpat]

So much enthusiasm here... Just remember that Unearth has always been quite dependant on the unbelievable skill and frenzy of their drummer. Musically that is; I've never seen them live. And Derek Kerswill, while being quite a good drummer, can never be as crazy as Mike Justian.
Still curious.
