http://www.reverbnation.com/ockumsrazor13) Ockum's Razor will have two songs on the bonus music sampler for the upcoming ‘Alice in Chains: in the Studio’ book available this fall of 2009. Seeing that we are not done with our full-band recordings yet, we chose the song 'Novocain' and also the song 'Shadow', which is acoustic. This sampler will feature ALL original material, designed to celebrate the derivative influences that Alice in Chains have had on our band and also the others on it! Kudos to 'State Of Mind' & 'Kharma' whom are bands
also from St. Louis that will have a track or two featured on this, as well.
The book, 'Alice in Chains: in the Studio', will feature interview material with the band members as well as producers (including Toby Wright and Dave Jerden, who have already been interviewed for the project), discussing the behind-the-scenes chronicles of the writing and recording of the band’s catalog of albums/hits. The book will be released to retail in the late summer of 2009, and the sampler will be sold with each copy of the book. We are proud to be a part of this new publication by Rock N' Roll Books. More on this later this summer!
Also, in 2010 Saint Louis peeps can look forward to 'Ghetto Electro Productions' Compilation, we will have a song on this local effort which will be a digital download. In addition, 'Hard Rock Radio Live' which is an internet radio station, is launching it's first compilation featuring artists all over the globe. Both sites are in our top friends currently, later we will post links to these, as well.
