May 26, 2009 - CHRIS BRODERICK: NEW RECORD HAS "UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL SOUND"
Chris Broderick has issued the following album update: "As for the CD, I can’t believe the way the whole thing came together. It has a unique and original sound that I don’t think could have come together with any other group of people. From Dave’s snarling vocals, to James’ huge bass sound and Shawn’s dead accurate drumming it is just relentless, and with Andy producing, it focused the sound and direction of the CD. I feel lucky to be a part of it, for one thing it definitely did, was make me expand and play in different styles. I can’t wait for the release, and I hope all of you find something in it you like."

When I heard this for myself, It really jacked me up, as we have all worked so hard on making this record the best it can possibly be, and I can honestly reveal to you that we have done just that. I have to give kudos to Andy Sneap here, who absolutely busted his a** and pushed all of us (while being a polite Englishman) to capture the best performances possible, and injecting a valid "Metal" opinion when he needed to. High kicks all around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" MORE

We're just right now finishing the last couple of notes on the new record, and Andy's getting ready to pack his bags and head up to Los Angeles tomorrow to get ready to fly back home on Thursday. Man, this has been a long, grueling, enduring process but it's been so worth it, and I'm so excited. I'm more excited about this record then I've been in any record since back in the 1980's. I would say, probably since, well definitely since "Rust In Peace" there's nothing that's excited me this much - maybe "Countdown", but this is just absolutely insane."
