BELIEVER Completes Recording New Album

December 8, 2010

Reactivated late '80s/early '90s technical-thrash metallers BELIEVER have finished recording their new album for an early 2011 release via Metal Blade Records. The CD was produced by Trauma Team Productions and will be mixed by Kevin Gutierrez (RAVEN, PROJECT: FAILING FLESH, DECEASED, DYSRYTHMIA, GARDEN OF SHADOWS) at Assembly Line Studios. The band is once again pursuing new musical territory.

Commented guitarist/vocalist Kurt Bachman: "We decided to bring back some of the orchestral feel of 'Dimensions' by utilizing more layered guitars, keys and melody with different vocal arrangements. There is still the 'BELIEVER' sound, but the musical progression continues for us."

Added keyboardist/programmer Jeff King: "We revamped our writing and recording process so that everyone could work at their peak times. We also spent a lot of time finding the right combinations of gear to achieve the sounds we wanted.

"Each BELIEVER album has had its own sound that distinguishes it from the preceding album, and this project is no different in that respect. You still have the core elements that make it recognizable as BELIEVER, but the guitar tone is heavier, the songs are tighter and musically it seems more refined."

BELIEVER performed live for the first time in 16 years on September 25, 2009 at Sterling Hotel in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The band's fourth album, "Gabriel", was released in March 2009 through KILLSWITCH ENGAGE frontman Howard Jones's new imprint label Cesspool Records via Metal Blade. The CD featured guest appearances by Jones, Joe Rico (SACRIFICE),CKY/WORLD UNDER BLOOD guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller and Rocky Gray (EVANESCENCE, SOUL EMBRACED, LIVING SACRIFICE).
