36 CRAZYFISTS Working On New Album
March 21, 2012Vocalist Brock Lindow of Alaskan metallers 36 CRAZYFISTS has issued the following update:
"After much thought and discussion in the 36 CRAZYFISTS camp, we have decided to break the silence and address some of the concerns that have been posted on our [Facebook] page.
"Firstly, our brother Thomas Noonan [drums] has decided to step away from the band, I have played music with T for over 20 years, he is one of my best friends, so he will be sorely missed, but we understand as we get older (and I mean OLDER),life takes on new meanings, so with his decision, we wish him a tremendous amount of success in his newest adventures…
"As for 36 CRAZYFISTS, we are currently working on our new album and at this point we have no release date for you guys.
"I have to be honest — last year was very difficult for my family as I lost my mother to cancer and from that dark period of my life, we as a band decided after 19 years of 36 CRAZYFISTS, we needed a break from the road. But as the years have rolled by, one thing I have learned throughout this band's career is that we have found ways to find new life and overcome tragedies to create something we are truly proud of. So with all of this, we are grateful and eternally indebted to all of our people for their undying loyalty and patience. We can't wait to get this record finished up and return to the road to connect once again."
36 CRAZYFISTS's latest album, "Collisions And Castaways", sold around 3,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 161 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at No. 3 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"Collisions And Castaways" was written and recorded between October 2009 and May 2010. It follows on the heels of 2009's DVD, "Underneath a Northern Sky", and is the band's second straight effort to feature Steve Holt in the producer's chair and Andy Sneap handling the final mix.
