Former SILENT CIVILIAN Guitarist's UNVEIL THE STRENGTH To Release 'The Awakening' EP

January 6, 2011

UNVEIL THE STRENGTH, the new Orange County, California-based quintet featuring former SILENT CIVILIAN guitarist Dave Delacruz, will digitally release its debut EP, "The Awakening", in early March. The effort was engineered by Mark Haggblad and was mixed by Mike "Mawi" Rashmawi (engineer for SILENT CIVILIAN's "Ghost Stories").

UNVEIL THE STRENGTH consists of Mark Haggblad (vocals),Dave Delacruz (guitar),Nita Strauss (guitar),Sam Hutchinson (bass),and Mark Matas (drums). The band entered its studio in Costa Mesa in September 2010 with intentions of creating music that strays away from the modern-day heavy metal genre. Though shredding leads, blistering drums and brutal screams, UNVEIL THE STRENGTH wants to offer more to the listener by bringing in the melody, singing, and soul to the mix.

Commented Delacruz: "This is something that I have been working on with my best friends for quite some time and now we are officially taking it from the studio to the stage!

"In regards to SILENT CIVILIAN, I personally made the decision to leave the band because I did not agree with how things were being ran by individuals involved. I wish them the best of luck and success on all of their endeavors but that band wasn't for me anymore.

"Creating music has always been a passion of mine and now I am able to create music with best friends the right way where there is no room for ego.

"We are currently booking southern California shows but are looking to target the major U.S. cities by summer 2011!"
