ANVIL CHORUS In Mixing Mode

August 8, 2008

After three successful San Francisco reunion shows, influential '80s progressive NWOSFHM (New Wave of San Francisco Heavy Metal) band ANVIL CHORUS has nearly wrapped up recording 12 songs for a tentative late 2008/early 2009 release. The tracks are all re-recorded, new versions of the popular cassette demo songs that have been widely traded in the worldwide metal underground for the past 25 years. These cuts have been updated and have recieved quality production. The sessions are being produced by guitarist Thaen Rasmussen and vocalist/bassist Aaron Zimpel along with guitarist Doug Piercy, drummer Joe Bennett and keyboardist Phil Bennet.

Commented the band: "We have begun the long process of mixing this beast while continuing to brighten up some spots in several songs. We are trying to get as much done with the small resources we have available to us at this time and, as promised, will have a song posted [on our MySpace page] very soon.

"We have been working closely on the cover art with Bay Area graphics God Mark DeVito who has recently completed the new MOTÖRHEAD album ('Motörizer')! The cover is awesome and visually sums up the ANVIL CHORUS ideal."
