THE END Unveil More Album Details; Make First Preview Track Available
November 22, 2006, 17 years ago
Canadian quintet THE END have released more details, as well as the first track, from their new full-length album, Elementary.
Elementary was recorded throughout the summer at BWC Studios in Brampton, Ontario with engineer and longtime friend Greg Dawson. The finished track listing is as follows: 'Dangerous', 'The Never Ever Aftermath', 'Animals', 'The Moth And I', 'Throwing Stones', 'My Abyss', 'Awake?', 'A Fell Wind', 'In Distress' and 'And Always...'.
“We have been hiding in obscurity for the last year writing and recording this album and we’re all about ready to explode.” guitarist Andrew Hercules illuminates. “Hopefully that doesn’t actually happen or else we’d have a big gory mess to clean out of the van. Simply put I think this will be one of those records you fall madly in love with or decree it to be the bane of your existence, but you won’t forget it.”Elementary’s album art, designed by U.K. artist Colin Marks, is pictured. Hercules (the band is rounded out by vocalist Aaron Wolff, guitarist Steve Watson, bassist Sean Dooley and drummer Anthony Salajko) comments on the connection between art and title: “The artwork is all generated from the ideas and imagery in the songs themselves. The cover is symbolic of the perils of idolatry, which is a reoccurring theme throughout the record. The album being titled Elementary is complimented by the simplicity of the images. Which is usually one image comprised of two different interacting forces striving to achieve balance. Why? Because that’s the way things are. Basic. Elegant.”
An advance preview track taken from Elementary, 'Animals', is available now via the band’s official MySpace page, and PureVolume page.
Elementary is set for a February 6th, 2007 North American release date (February 12th internationally).
