Hailed by All Music Guide as “an example of everything right
about hard rock,” the Syracuse-based BRAND NEW SIN has signed a
worldwide deal with Century Media Records. The group recently completed work
on their highly anticipated sophomore effort, tentatively titled Recipe
For Disaster . The album's summer release will be preceded by a series
of performances alongside rock legends Motorhead and Corrosion of
Conformity, kicking off March 9 in Sayerville, N.J.
“Brand New Sin is very pleased and excited to be part of the Century
Media family,” says vocalist Joe Altier. “Their dedication to their
artists is unmatched, and the successes of Shadows Fall, Lacuna Coil, God
Forbid and many others over the years is a testament to that. Not only is
the label comprised of hard-working mofo's, but they are truly fans of
the bands they work with. We look forward to a long and successful run
with them.”
The Southern-influenced hard rock quintet first burst upon the scene in
2002 with their groundbreaking self-titled debut, which garnered
acclaim from such mainstream outlets as Billboard and Guitar One. The group
went on to earn a devoted legion of fans through relentless touring with
a wide array of artists, from Black Label Society and Slayer to
Breaking Benjamin and Saliva. It's the stunning blend of Altier's captivating
roar and melodic overtones mixed with the band's gritty, rock-solid
rhythm section, stunning dual guitar solos and pummeling hooks that helps
this group stand out from the pack and appeal to a diverse audience.
In conjunction with the Motorhead/C.O.C. tour, the band will release a
four-track EP titled Black And Blue next month. The title track "Black
And Blue" will serve as the first single from Recipe For Disaster ; the
other three songs will be exclusive to the EP. The group will also
embark on a two-week tour of the Southeast starting on Feb. 17. A complete
list of currently confirmed tour dates appears here; more dates will be
added soon.
“ We can't wait to hit the road again,” says Altier, “and to be doing
it with Motorhead and C.O.C. is definitely a good way to start a
campaign! It's almost as if we have come full circle, because when we did our
first nationwide tour, it was with Motorhead. This tour is just the
beginning of what's to come. See you on the road!”
Just when you thought you've heard it all, BRAND NEW SIN returns with
an aggressive, blue-collar American hard rock album sure to create a
buzz that will transcend genres.
