FLOTSAM AND JETSAM Drummer Lays Down Tracks For THE ALIEN BLAKK Re-Release

August 26, 2008

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM drummer Craig Nielsen has finished laying down bonus tracks for the re-release of THE ALIEN BLAKK's first album, "Modes Of Alienation". Joshua Craig, the producer and musical force behind THE ALIEN BLAKK, says, "There were a few uncut pieces from the initial release 'Modes Of Alienation', so when I was contracted to have the music re-released after [Greece's] Black Lotus [Records] went out of business, I wanted there to be a couple songs on there with singing and a bit more improvisational guitar work. A bit more reflective of who I am musically and what the live shows are about. I was able to nail down the same studio where the first CD was cut with the same drummer which was the only way I could 'add on' to what existed on the initial release. Craig cut an original song I have been trying to lay down for quite some time. The song (entitled 'A Question') that has lyrics that are very close to me. Also, I have been doing SABBATH on the past few tours, so I needed to get one of those on there as well. There will be a different spin on it in a few spots, including some acoustic work and an improv section at the end of the piece that I do live."
