July 25, 2007, 17 years ago
Melissa Records, the Dutch label exclusively dedicated to releasing metal from the USA, is proud to reveal the tracklist and artwork for the upcoming debut album by New England’s THREE HEADED MONSTER, 3HM for short.
3HM will feature eight songs of instrumental metal madness, in a style that deftly mixes power and thrash metal with a truckload of guitar shred. The song titles are: 'Varan', 'Perfect-Plex', 'The Beast Of Odo Island', 'Ultimate Rage', 'Bloodbath II', 'Ides Of March', 'Bitter End', 'Engines Of AKI'.
Comments guitarist Chris Cecchini in the band’s studio diary: "So late last year we walked into Jay Maas' Getaway Studios, determined to make the very best funk/r&b;/jazz fusion album for you. Then suddenly, we remembered that we were a metal band and that we didn't have any funk/jazz/fusion songs, all we had were metal songs! Would this still be the greatest funk album of all time?! Then most of us (except Andy) remembered that funk was really gay and we soon discovered that we had the makings of a bad ass metal album on our hands, and away we went!"
The striking artwork (pictured) comes courtesy of Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Design (www.darkgrove.net). Yrlund is well-known for his work on numerous sleeve and booklet designs (SEVENTH CALLIN, TÝR, EVERON and SATYRIAN to name but a few).
3HM will be released on Melissa Records in the fall of 2007, together with Evolution Bound, the debut album from technical power metallers ANCIENT CREATION.
