DIRGE WITHIN 'Fully Focused On Writing' Of Next Album

December 15, 2010

DIRGE WITHIN/ex-SOIL guitarist Shaun Glass has issued the following update:

"Well, here we are nearing the end of 2010, and as most know, we [DIRGE WITHIN] have been fully focused on the writing of our next album and all is flowing nicely on that end. I think the songs are more powerful and musical than some of the past tracks but still remaining true to our sound. We have been doing some [pre-production] demos and all is sounding amazingly solid. If all goes as planned, we're looking at starting [to record] the album late February/March of 2011. Also, we have been asked by the dudes from NONPOINT to start the New Year off with a nice mini-run of dates so this may be a good place for us to test a few new songs in our live set. So try and make a show if one is nearby!"

DIRGE WITHIN dates with NONPOINT:

Jan. 31 - Libertyville, IL @ Austin's Fuel Room
Feb. 02 - Memphis, TN @ Newby's
Feb. 03 - Tupelo, MS @ Lucky Joe's
Feb. 04 - New Orleans, LA @ The Hangar
Feb. 05 - Jackson, MS @ The Fire

In addition to Glass, DIRGE WITHIN features vocalist Jeremy "Jerms" Genske, guitarist Matt Szlachta, bassist James Pezanoski (ex-FROM ALL WITHIN),and drummer Frankie Harchut (ex-THE DOOMSDAY CATALYST).

The band released a new digital EP on September 14 via iTunes featuring the rare track "Eulogy" as well as a re-recorded version of an old demo song, "Ties That Bind".

DIRGE WITHIN's debut album, "Force Fed Lies", came out on September 1, 2009 via E1 Music (formerly Koch Records). The CD was mixed by Jeff Rose and Martin "Ginge" Ford of Nott-In-Pill studios in Newport, Wales, United Kingdom. Edsel Dope (DOPE) produced the effort alongside Chris Djuricic (Studio One). The album features guest appearances by Corey Beaulieu of TRIVUM and Michael Angelo Batio of NITRO fame. The cover artwork was created by Stephen Jensen from F3 studios.
