Minsk Finishing New Album

Chicago/Peoria, IL quartet Minsk (bassist/vocalist Sanford Parker, drummer Anthony Couri, guitarist/vocalist Chris Bennett and vocalist/synth player Tim Mead) have been holed up at Parker's Volume Recording studio (Pelican, Unearthly Trance) where they have been tracking for weeks. Mix down for the album is currently scheduled to happen over the later half of September. The as-yet-untitled Relapse Records debut is scheduled for an early 2007 release.

Parker comments, "The new album is coming along very well. The process of working on this album has been really exciting. The writing of this album has challenged us to explore some new territory and participate in the creation of something even more progressive and more organic than we've done before."

In related news, the band will also be contributing to the upcoming Eyehategod tribute, For The Sick, with their rendition of "Ruptured Heart Theory."
