ALICE IN CHAINS Vocalist Producing MONSTRO Debut
March 30, 2011MONSTRO, the new Atlanta, Georgia-based band featuring former BLOODSIMPLE bassist Kyle Sanders, ex-BLOODSIMPLE drummer Bevan Davies, ex-TORCHE guitarist Juan Montoya and guitarist/vocalist Charlie Suarez, has inked a deal with Vagrant Records. The group entered a studio in Atlanta earlier this week with producer (and ALICE IN CHAINS vocalist) William DuVall to begin recording its debut album for a late summer release.
"We've been collectively writing and recording for two years now and thanks to Vagrant we're finally recording our first proper full-length," said Sanders. "We'll be locked up for the next month recording and mixing with our good friend William DuVall at the helm. These songs have taken on a life of their own and we're all extremely thrilled to lay them all down and begin the journey."
In a May 2010 interview with AOL's Noisecreep, Sanders stated that MONSTRO "brings in a whole new world of elements. There's plenty of heaviness, but also deep psychedelic, almost trance-like moments, with a dark, soulful side vocally," while Davies revealed the band's songs are "more musically driven than vocally, and we are not ashamed to indulge ourselves on our instruments. I feel like our songs are more like mini-journeys and less like hooks and catch phrases."
MONSTRO made its live debut on April 24, 2010 at Lenny's Bar in Atlanta, Georgia. Video footage of the performance can be viewed below (courtesy of The Silver Tongue).
