MASTERY Recording New Album
October 20, 2011, 12 years ago
Toronto’s MASTERY entered Studio 57 at Music Lab in Austin, TX this past June, with producer Tim Gerron to record their as-yet-untitled full-length Album.
The album was mixed by Tim Gerron and Dan Korneff at House of Loud Studios in Elmwood Park, NJ in September.
According to a press release, the band "fuses the blazing aggression of hardcore thrash with the technical prowess of progressive metal, leaving fans with a balls-out assault that relives the majesty of old school metal with a sense of originality."
Mastery was founded by guitarist Markus Armellini in Toronto. With no luck finding a vocalist that could compliment the intensity and aggression of the music, the band released their first instrumental album, "Lethal Legacy", in the US and Canada in 2006 and Europe in 2007. Following the release, Mastery toured the States extensively and it was at a show in Austin,TX where the band met legendary vocalist Billy Milano of M.O.D./S.O.D fame. Combined with Markus, drummer Mike Harshaw, bassist Tim “Tank” Casterline, and lead guitarist Kelly Fitzsimmons complete the band line-up.
