3: Entire 'Revisions' Album To Air On 89.5 FM WSOU

"Revisions", the new album from Woodstock, New York progressive rockers 3, will be aired in its entirety tonight (Friday, October 16) at 9:00 p.m. EST on the South Orange, New Jersey radio station 89.5 FM WSOU. Listeners outside the New York City/North Jersey area can hear the program live via the Internet at www.wsou.net.

"Revisions" is scheduled for release on October 27 via Metal Blade Records.

Commented frontman Joey Eppard: "3 has always been a band apart. We've never been afraid to follow the artistic impulse, whether it has lead us to genre bending progressive experimentation, or, as in the case of 'Revisions', drawn us into a world defined more by melody and lyric than by instrumental prowess.

"It goes without saying that our goal has always been to create a symbiosis between these qualities, but on this record we find the poles have shifted in favor of the singer-songwriter element of what we do.

"This collection taps the rich history of 3 by re-examining some of the earlier songs that made us who we are today. Some of them are known from early live bootlegs, others existed only on cassette and were transferred to the Internet by dedicated fans who somehow dug them up (possibly out of my garage).

"In any event, these are songs that we felt deserved a second chance, a 'revision,' if you will.

"Our passion for music is truly the common thread that binds our diverse body of work!"

3 had its sophomore CD, "The End is Begun", re-released as a digipack in February 2008. The audio CD features the 13 previously released tracks as well as a bonus cut, 3's spin on the classic PINK FLOYD song "See Emily Play", which is track #14 on the audio disc. The bonus DVD features live performances of the songs "Monster", "Bramfatura" and "Amaze Disgrace" (all songs from the band's previous Metal Blade records release "Wake Pig") from the Metal Blade 25th Anniversary show from Worcester, Massachusetts. Production videos of the songs "All that Remains" and "Alien Angel" are also included on the bonus DVD.

3 took part in last year's "Progressive Nation" tour featuring progressive rock legends DREAM THEATER, Sweden's OPETH and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME.

3's video for the song "All That Remains", which was the first single off "The End Is Begun", can be viewed below. The clip was directed and shot by acclaimed director David Brodsky (GWAR, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, HELMET) and his crew at MyGoodEye. The performance portion of the video took place at the site of a crumbling, abandoned castle usually closed off to film/video crews. However, after hearing THREE's music they had a change of heart, convinced that this band would be the perfect complement to their location.

"The End Is Begun" was mixed by Toby Wright, who has previously worked with ALICE IN CHAINS, METALLICA, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY and FEAR FACTORY, among many others.
