CKY Guitarist On Death Tribute, Side Project
CKY guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller has issued the following update on the highly anticipated DEATH tribute album "Within The Mind - In Homage To The Musical Legacy Of Chuck Schuldiner", his FOREIGN OBJECTS side project (featuring legendary ex-DEATH/TESTAMENT guitarist James Murphy) and the upcoming CKY album:
"It's been a while since anyone has heard an update on the DEATH tribute album and I'd like to take the oppurtunity to fill everyone in. the rumors of it not happening are completely untrue. James Murphy was recently at my home recording my rhythm tracks and solos and I must say that i was blown away by the quality, sounds and performances of the drum tracks. It blows my mind that what started out as a phone conversation idea between James and I has snowballed into a celebration honoring the work of the late great Chuck Schuldiner, involving over 30 musicians from all genres of music, from Luc Lemay of GORGUTS to Andrew W.K. I want to take the time to thank James Murphy for his hard work in capturing amazing performances from Richard Christy [ex-ICED EARTH] and Dave Culross [MALEVOLENT CREATION] among others, and his dedication to the project. There is still much work to be done, as James has been travelling the world to record the project so it will take some time but will be well worth the wait. DEATH helped propell all of our bands and projects into fruition, and it's an honor to give back and celebrate his history with the blessing of the Schuldiner family.More...
My Own Victim Singer Starts Surviving Thalia
Former MY OWN VICTIM frontman Dave "Sailor" Bryant has joined forces with former members of Louisville, KY-based metallers NEMESIS in a new project called SURVIVING THALIA. SURVIVING THALIA was formed in the summer of 2004 and was unleashed last month at the WLRS Fest. The members of SURVIVING THALIA are inspired by a wide variety of influences and sounds, the result being a blend of old-school hardcore, progressive sounds, South American rhythm, jazz, and old-school metal. The group, whose origins are said to be rooted deep in progressive mathematical metal reminiscent of FEAR FACTORY with a SLIPKNOT/MESHUGGAH twist, are growing into new musical territory with every song and every show.
