ADRIFT: New Album 'Sounds Huge'

August 22, 2007

ADRIFT, the Tampa-based heavy rock band featuring Jack Owen of DEICIDE/CANNIBAL CORPSE fame, is currently mixing its new full-length album, "Absolution", at AudioHammer Studios (CHIMAIRA, DEVILDRIVER, BURY YOUR DEAD, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER) in Sanford, Florida with Mark Lewis. The CD was tracked at CB Production Studios in Youngsville, North Carolina.

Commented drummer Kevin D. Astl: "Mark is doing a bang-up job on the mix, spending a lot of time on details, compelling effects, and really pro vocal treatments, etc. It sounds so huge, this mix really 'moves,' if you know what I mean.

"If you are a band with some substantial financial resources, I urge you to seriously consider using Mark, his talents are evident, he's a hard worker and cares about the music he produces/mixes, and he has 'the ear.' If you are a music lover, as I am, then Mark's true talent is keeping the life and breath in the music.

"The ADRIFT record is a challenging mix task because we have so many vast influences coming together in our music... it's heavy, it's emotional, it's dark and moody, it's not 'straightforward,' 'metal,' any type of 'core' or typical at all. The material on this record demonstrates what this band is capable of, and marks (no pun intended) the first album of material we have written completely with the current lineup. We all contribute to songwriting and arrangement, and we are constantly re-evaluating the songs to make sure they are the best they can be, and that we get the right vibe and feel out of them.

"Bottom line, this record will sound great. We hope all of you who hear it will enjoy it and will take from it some emotion personal to you."
