INHALE EXHALE Debuts First Track From New Album
September 15, 2009, 15 years ago
Cleveland, OH metal torchbearers INHALE EXHALE have begun the final three-week countdown to the release of their third album, Bury Me Alive, out October 6th on Solid State Records.
The band is giving fans their first taste by streaming the first single from the album, 'Did You Ever Have a Touch To Lose?', on it's MySpace page.
With its ferocious riffage, pleading melodies, snarling screams and frantic guitar leads that nearly go careening off the rails, 'Did You Ever Have a Touch To Lose?' illustrates in no uncertain terms the sea change that Inhale Exhale's songwriting has undergone since the release of 2008's lauded I Swear...
"We chose 'Did You Ever Have A Touch To Lose?' as the track to debut first because we felt it was a good representation of where the band is heading," explains guitarist and principle songwriter John LaRussa. "We also felt it would make for a good video, due to the things it deals with – hope, pain, accepting the mistakes people do around you or to you."After releasing two rapid-fire albums in just over two years, the members of Inhale Exhale enjoyed a brief but well-earned respite in early 2009, during which babies were born and marriages were performed. Now, armed with one of the year's most vital, explosive, relentlessly creative metalcore offerings in Bury Me Alive, they're ready to take their place in the modern metal pantheon.
"We are the most excited we've been since the creation of Inhale Exhale," LaRussa says. "This is the first record that we all really sit and listen to and enjoy 100%. We love our other two albums, but this is the album we've always wanted to write."
