Retroactive Records reports:

Retroactive Records contiues to bring you the best the metal world has to offer with the signing of Christian metallers, BRIDE. Their new release is entitled Tsar Bomba and will release in August 2009.

Troy (Thompson – guitars) and Dale have been writing songs for the past few months together. Back in 1985 when Bride first was formed Dale and Troy never imagined that the band would still be viable after over twenty years of music making. Bride has had incredible opportunities to write record and release songs world wide while also touring to support every release.

This 2009 project is a no hold barred when it comes to creativity and music making. This labor of love should take the listener beyond any imaginative work Bride has ever done in the past and challenge the audio senses.

It is important concerning this work tentatively titled Tsar Bomba to capture the listener and to unpredictably throw them into the vat of “mechanosensation”.

Tsar Bomba simply means Mother Of All Bombs and was the largest most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It is important for this work to leave such an impact. Even though some would argue that a Christian CD should have nothing to do with such destruction, it is our belief that in this day and time a certain amount of destruction leads way to new growth and a fresh start.

Back with the Thompson brothers is drummer Jerry McBroom. It is only fitting that the most popular drummer in Bride's history rejoins them for the finale. G.W. Watts notoriously known for his Hong Kong sessions will be contributing bass guitar. Also returning will be guitar virtuoso Steve Osborne.

One of the most exciting aspects to the new work is the studio master Tim Bushong. Tim will be exercising all of his recording talents on the project.

Expect to hear raw rock, heavy metal, and all of the surprises that make you smile when you hear a Bride release.
