KILLSWITCH ENGAGE’s Justin Foley To Drum On Upcoming UNEARTH Album
January 5, 2011, 13 years ago
UNEARTH have posted the following update online:
“We wanted to let everyone know that tracking for the new album has officially begun! We're currently at Zing Studios in Westfield, MA tracking drums with our sit in drummer for the album Justin Foley of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE/BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED. Foley was an obvious choice for this album for many reasons, but mainly because of his abilities and knowledge of heavy music as well as his long-time friendship with the band. A decade plus of friendship has made this an easy transition for the band, Foley and our producer/engineer Adam D.In other news, we have decided to change the mixing engineer for the album to Mark Lewis (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITE CHAPEL, DEVIL DRIVER, TRIVIUM, etc) from Audiohammer Studios. Mark is another long-time friend of the band and we're excited to hear what he can do with our sound on record.
Guitarist Buz McGrath added this irrelevant comment about working with Mark, "Mark Lewis mixed me a drink once and i woke up in a swamp covered in anti-freeze."
As we said before, we're aiming at a mid to late June release for the album followed by massive world touring.”
As previously reported, Unearth have announced a benefit show for their late bass player Chris 'Rover' Rybicki. The band posted the following regarding the show:
"Our first gig of 2011 will be a benefit show for our former bass player Chris 'Rover' Rybicki who tragically lost his life at the hands of an alleged drunk driver this past September. We will be playing alongside another one of Rovers former band's, NO CHOICE, as well as our friends in SCREAMS OF ERIDA and GASKET. All proceeds will go directly to the Rybicki family.Come down to one of our old stomping grounds to celebrate the life of our longtime friend as well as helping out the family he left behind. R.I.P. Rover."
The aforementioned benefit show will take place February 19th at Saint Michaels Hall in Lynn, MA. Doors open at 6pm. Tickets are just $10 and only available at the door. Further details can be found here.
