JAM PAIN SOCIETY - Black Light Messiah Due Out In August
July 23, 2008, 16 years ago
Locomotive Records will release JAM PAIN SOCIETY’s Black Light Messiah in the US on August 12. This North Carolina band, known for their theatrical stage presentation, counterpoints aggression and melody with soulful vocals.
Self-Produced by guitarist/composer Chris Hill (who cites KISS, ZEPPELIN, VAN HALEN, and PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC as major influences), these 12 tracks bristle with melodic invention, heavy guitar riffs and huge hooks.
The woman behind the mic for this Society is Leah Kirby. Raised on a steady diet of AC/DC, BLACK SABBATH, JUDAS PRIEST and Motown, Leah cites ARETHA FRANKLIN and RONNIE JAMES DIO as vocal influences.
The band is rounded off by drummer Nick Campbell and two bassists; Matt Frederick (from a band, DRILL 187, that Hill produced) and Greg Putnam (he of the six-string bass).
Black Light Messiah tracklisting: 'So Here It Is', 'Wasted', 'You Made Me', 'Secret', 'Monster Mind', 'Second Smile', 'The Ride', 'Erase You', 'Choose Your Machine', 'Wrapped Around', 'Hero', 'Flavor'.
