BELIEVER Drummer Hopes To Tour In Support On New Album

November 11, 2007

Drummer Joey Daub of the reactivated late '80s/early '90s technical-thrash metal band BELIEVER has issued the following update:

"As most of you know by now, the official BELIEVERMySpace page is up and running.

"Kurt [Bachman; BELIEVER guitarist/vocalist] and I are currently in the rehearsal mode for the official recording due to start mid November. Since Metal Mind Productions is re-releasing all three BELIEVER records, we thought it would be cool to make a limited edition t-shirt for each one. All three t-shirts are available now.

"I must say that from the response of everyone on our MySpace page Kurt and I are extremely stoked for you, fans, to hear the new record. You guys are truly the best fans ever! Many, many thanks.

"In FOUNTAIN OF TEARS news [Daub's post-BELIEVER project], we are continuing the promotion of the 'Fate' album. Vonnie has just done an interview with a French online magazine and other press is being done as well. Due to my involvement with BELIEVER, FOUNTAIN OF TEARS rehearsals have slowed but will resume soon. Along with working on ideas for touring in 2008 with FOUNTAIN OF TEARS, I am also twisting Kurt's arm to get out and tour for the new BELIEVER album. It should be a very busy 2008!

BELIEVER's albums "Extraction From Mortality" (1989),"Sanity Obscure" (1990) and "Dimensions" (1993) were made available on November 5 in a new digipak edition on golden disc, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology and limited to 2,000 numbered copies.

According to a press release, "In the entire history of the thrash metal genre, there was never a band as unique as BELIEVER. While their music showcased thrash influences from the rawest sort, delivering fast and violent sounds, the message they incorporated into their songs was the exact opposite of the typical thrash metal attitude. Through their music BELIEVER preached the word of God — each lyric is a testimony of faith and commitment to the Christian community. The band made sure that their message was properly introduced by supporting it with a heavy dose of brilliantly arranged melodies and thrashing riffs.

"Their debut album, 'Extraction From Mortality', easily shows the most brutal side of Christian metal, musically being comparable to thrash giants such as SLAYER and OBITUARY. Includes nine tracks filled with furious riffs and catchy melodies, sewn together with religiously inspiring lyrics. 'Sanity Obscure' is BELIEVER's second album on which the band takes on a more technical approach. Thrash metal origins progress into a more sophisticated and spiritualized form, conjoining both an aggressive sound and a meaningful message. It features catchy and expressive songs, with some impressive highlights as 'Stop the Madness', 'Non-Point' and the breathtaking symphonic/orchestral masterpiece — 'Dies Irae'. New edition includes liner notes written by the band. Their third and most impressive album, 'Dimensions', presents a band fully aware of its possibilities, able to create a one-time masterpiece, which this LP undoubtedly is. The 20-minute long track 'Trilogy of Knowledge' is one of the most extraordinary songs ever created by a metal band. New edition includes liner notes written by the band."
