Allllrighhhhhhhhht!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So first, sorry for it being so long for the update, but lots going on. Heres the short version. We would like to announce the addition of our new guitar player BC Kochmit to Dark new Day!!! For those who know who he is, you know why we sought him out, hes the perfect combination of Troy and Clint. BC is a bad bad man and we're honored to have him on board. For those who dont know, BC was the guitar player and songwriter for Switched and most recently Rickets. I met Brad while I was playing with Tommy Lee and Switched was out with us for that tour and Ozzfest. Thats when I knew someday I gotta play with that guy!! Corey did a brief stint in Switched after that tour, and thats where the bond between those two started as friends and songwriters. They penned the track "Who Feels" on the last Switched record (which we also recorded but didnt release for our 1st record). Brett Hestla will also once again (and this is awesome too, Bretts a BAD ASS guitar player) be picking up the guitar. Those that saw Virgos Merlot know what Im talkin about!!So thats that. We're streamlined and ready to fuckin kill it! We're looking at doing some shows in August so stay tuned.
As for the record, lots going on, but alas, nothing I can talk about. Yes we're going to get it to you soon, but we gotta let some things play out. So in the mean time, heres two new songs to dig on.
"I Dont Need You" was one of the first songs we demoed for this new album and recorded on our own. It WILL NOT be on the new album. "Fiend" is also a demo version that will not be on the new album that we recorded with our buddy Rick Beato. Its a rough mix, and it is one of three versions of this song that exist. All versions are very different. Some lucky people got to listen to the 3rd and album version yesterday when we had it up for a few hours, so you guys will hear the difference! In about two weeks, we'll put up the second version for you to check out. Just a little glimpse into how we work and try to constantly evolve until everyones feelin' it. The idea here is that we have enough of this stuff to put out three records, so between now and when we sort out this new album stuff we're going to put together a series of online albums that feature all of this unreleased stuff!! Look for the first instalment to be available in about 6 to 8 weeks. Between now and then we'll keep giving you guys a little taste of what will be on these three albums. This is by NO MEANS going to be your typical "B sides" release. This shit kicks ass and its far from "B side" material!! WE fought and argued because we wanted all of these songs to come out. Tons of really cool stuff, so get ready!!!
Our plan live is to play some of the 12 Year Silence material, some of this demo shit that we love, and some tracks from the soon to be released new album. So keep checkin' in and as soon as we have some ligitimate info on the new album status we will let you know, but this new stuff should satiate the appetite for some new DnD stuff. We love this shit and know you will too, thats why we're putting it out!! Thankyou all so much for the love, support, and good vibes. We cant wait to finally let you hear and see that we have in fact been a very WORKING and ACTIVE band over the last two years. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!
