EARLY MAN To Release 'Death Potion' In July

June 8, 2010

EARLY MAN's sophomore full-length album, "Death Potion", will be released on July 20 via The End Records. The Los Angeles- and Brooklyn–based band tracked the 12-song CD at Soundhouse Recording in Seattle, Washington with producer Jack Endino.

"There's a lot of angst and urgency that comes out in this record — musically, vocally, lyrically, and creatively," says EARLY MAN vocalist/guitarist Mike Conte. "It's a very raw, honest record, which I think sadly has become extremely rare within heavy metal. It means something, it stands for something.

"I don't like making records just for the sake of making records. For me, the songs have to come from somewhere real artistically and that is very much the case with 'Death Potion'."

Guitarist Pete Macy adds, "Working with Jack Endino was great. If something was good, he was happy, but if something sucked, he let you know. Once we got everything sounding right, he was really good at bringing out the best in us, helping us find the extra touches each song needed to take it to the next level.

"This record has the best songwriting and the best playing from EARLY MAN yet. It's really killer and I'm stoked for everyone to hear it!"

EARLY MAN released its debut album, "Closing In", in 2005 and then followed it up with the "Beware The Circling Fin" EP in 2008. The trio has toured extensively for the past three years with such acts as ICED EARTH, SKELETONWITCH, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD and HIGH ON FIRE, among others.

"Anyone that has liked us live in the past few years is going to be psyched on 'Death Potion'," says drummer Adam Bennati. "People are saying the songs are heavier and faster, but I think you're going to have to just check it out yourself.

"I can't wait for people to hear this record. I think it's gonna blow your fuckin' socks off!"
