RISE TO ADDICTION - RELEASE DATE SET FOR SOME OTHER TRUTH


RISE TO ADDICTION
return with their second album, 'Some Other Truth' out on Mausoleum Records released 13th November 2009.

 

'Some Other Truth' is the follow-up to the bands highly acclaimed debut album 'A New Shade of Black for the Soul' released in 2007, again via Mausoleum.

 

Since the release of their debut, RTA has toured all over the European continent with doom legends Trouble and New York alt-rockers Warrior Soul. They have also played metal festivals over Europe, including the UK's own Bloodstock event twice, both times on the main stage.


Produced by RISE TO ADDICTION guitarist, Steve Wray, the 10 songs on the album distil the sound of ‘A New Shade…’ and show inspired natural progression and focus of the RTA sound.


From the turbocharged rock-punk opener 'Sick of Me' via the doom-riffed 'The Whisper' to the shred-fest within 'One More Time' and the catchy hooks of 'Fade Away', Rise To Addiction's ‘Some Other Truth’ is certainly a collection of the finest 'modern day classic rock' delivered by a fresh band that know...understand... and show respect to their peers.


Some Other Truth – Track listing:

01. Sick of Me

02. Fallen from Grace

03. Scars we wear

04. The Whisper

05. One more Time

06. Fade away

07. Home

08. Outside

09. Morphine

10. Indelible

Hi there!

Just wanted to update everyone on the album, I know things have been quiet but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been really busy!

We’re pretty much done with the mixing and we’re booked to master the album in early June.  The album will be released in October throughout Europe and the US and we’ll be playing some shows over the summer in Europe including the Motonalet festival in Czech Republic and in the UK in September to warm you up for the album release!

We’ll then be touring hard into 2010 to support the album, I’m sure we’ll see most of you on the road…

The artwork is also finished for the album and we’re very happy with it, the album will be released as a digipak so something else to look forward to

Oh…the album will be titled ‘SOME OTHER TRUTH’

Hope this answers some of the burning questions we’ve been getting through, we’re all really happy with the album and we’re sure you will be too!

HYDROGYN: European Tour Postponed - Apr. 14, 2009
Ashland, Kentucky-based rockers HYDROGYN have issued the following update:

"It is with much frustration that the band has announced today the
rescheduling of the European tour for the fall of this year.
Guitarist Jeff Westlake has suffered an injury to his left wrist
in an accident and will not be able to play for a
three-to-four-week period."

Commented Jeff: "It was just a freak thing that happened and I
ended up with my wrist fractured so I will just deal with it and
be ready to move on hopefully by mid to late May. I would also
like to take this time to apologize to all of our fans who were
planning on attending the shows and the promoters as well for all
the hard work; we will reschedule the dates for fall and I will be
looking doubly forward to doing those dates so hold on to your
tickets and we will be announcing the new dates soon."

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for hanging in there, we’ve had loads of people asking about the new album…here’s the progress report!

I’ve now finished all vocals, and the mix will start the 1st week in January.  It’s sounding great so we all hope it will be worth the wait for you!

We’re having a bit of time off now over Christmas due to our producer and one half of our dynamic guitar duo, Steve, becoming a dad for the 1st time!  He’s the proud parent of baby Emily!

We’re hoping to be out on tour supporting the album in 2009, definitely in the UK and Europe.

Here’s our fav albums of the year, do you agree?

Have a great Christmas & new year, thanks for all your support!  See you in 2009!

Thought I would give you all an update on the new album!

I'm currently recording the vocals and it's going great, we're using a new mic I bought by Rode and it's hitting the spot!  The vocals are being done pretty much live so we capture the energy of the performance - so far so good!

Ayns laid the drums down a while ago and did a great job; the sounds we're working with are top notch as always – very real and attacking.   His Premier kit really is the dogs bollocks.

All the guitars have been finished for some time now bar Steve and Johns shape throwing solos J  We tracked using my good friend Andy Stone's (Ninedenine) Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier which is still my favourite sounding amp, we used the same model on the last album.  We mic'ed this up through a Marshall 4x12 and got really cranked and rowdy for that real live tone.  No POD processing here!

Joel has finished all the bass and has done a great job in underpinning this whole thing.  Ampeg is of course the amp of choice!

I'll be recording vocals over the next week or so then we bring it all together for the mix.  As an experienced engineer I'm really happy with all the sounds we've got and the mix should be exciting.  I can't wait for you to hear 10 new RTA songs!
