BURY YOUR DEAD Preparing To Enter Studio

Guitarist Brendan "Slim" MacDonald of the Boston, Massachusetts-based hardcore/metal band BURY YOUR DEAD has issued the following update:

"So we have been busier than hell the last four months since that time we decided to flip our van into a ditch and go on tour a week later.

"Anyways, we are finishing up writing for our next Victory release as we speak. To be honest, this record has been a long time coming. We have been on the label for five years, released four records and this is it .

"I say it every time we go into the studio: 'This is the best thing ever that we have ever written ever and it's meaningful because and ever and stuff,' but let's be honest — this year for us hasn't been anything short of a shitty coin toss. Between the awesome tours and heading overseas twice, there were a fair amount of remedial bullshit to have to get over, and I promise you will hear about most of it somehow or another on the record .

"In between writing riffs, I have been spending the majority of my time using a chainsaw to kill things that want to get in my grill area in Gears Of War 2. I mean, what a better way to be brootal than chainsawing someone in the face a lot. OK, there's a few things, but that's all I've got. It's winter and it's cold out.

"This record has it all. You will be able to circle pit in your bedroom and make out with your girlfriend/boyfriend to it! Best of both worlds, I know. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing, then you'll like it, I guess.

"We start recording in a few weeks, so heads up for a lot more coming from us in the coming weeks, boys and girls."

BURY YOUR DEAD's self-titled album was released in March 2008 via Victory Records. The CD was recorded at Florida's Audiohammer Studios, the exact facility where their previous release, "Beauty and the Breakdown", was conceived. BURY YOUR DEAD also brought back producer Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, GOD FORBID),continuing with the theme of tradition.
