IAMTHETHORN Ink Deal With Goodfellow Records
November 21, 2006, 17 years ago
BW&BK; has received the following press release:
Seattle quartet IAMTHETHORN is the newest addition to the Goodfellow Records roster. This new band features an amalgamation of names that will be familiar to those that have followed the Northwest heavy music scene of the past ten years.
Featuring Johnny Pettibone (HIMSA, NINE IRON SPITFIRE, GENUINE, UNDERTOW) on vocals, Aaron Edge (GRIEVOUS, HAULER, Genuine, HARKONEN, Himsa, CHRIST, HELLEPHANT) on guitar and screams, Joe Axler (SKARP, BOOK OF BLACK EARTH, SPLATTERHOUSE) drumming and Jerad Shealey (RECEDER) providing the low end frequencies, the band plays in a frantic, pissed off, down-tuned style of metal that is influenced by bands such as EYEHATEGOD, CROWBAR, INTEGRITY and new labelmates CURSED.
On February 20th, Goodfellow will release the debut CD by IAmTheThorn, entitled You Are The Lamb. A five-song EP, the song titles on Lamb are 'The Hunt And Beyond', 'Becoming Death', 'Cutman', 'As The Night Rises' and 'Crawling Over Them'. A video for the track 'The Hunt And Beyond' was recent shot by King of Hearts Production. It can be viewed online now at this location. The track will also be posted later today on the Goodfellow Records MySpace page.
Before the official release of You Are The Lamb, the band will be doing a short tour in the Northwest US during January. All dates will be with Spokane, WA's BEHOLD.
