GIZMACHI: Endorsed By SLIPKNOT's CLOWN, Band Prepare To Release Debut Album

February 18, 2005

Hailing from the land of upstate New York, GIZMACHI will release their debut CD, "The Imbuing", on May 3 on Big Orange Clown Records, an imprint of Sanctuary Records. "The Imbuing" was produced by M. Shawn Crahan, engineered by Josh Wilbur and recorded at Spin Studios in New York City. GIZMACHI is comprised of Sean Kane on vocals, Jay Hannon and Mike Laurino on guitars, Kris Gilmore on bass and Jimmie Hatcher on drums.

A band could not ask for a better endorsement than one from Crahan, who you may know for not only his musical vision, but as Clown (#6) in metal superstar band SLIPKNOT. As founder of Big Orange Clown Records, Crahan chose to be the label's inaugural release, which speaks volumes to his belief in their music.

The band filmed the video for their first single, "The Answer", last week in New York. The video was directed by Crahan and produced by Doug Spangenberg (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, LAMB OF GOD, EVERY TIME I DIE).

GIZMACHI will also be heading out on the road to deliver the message of "The Imbuing" live. Playing some warm-up dates with (HED) P.E. in February, the band will then jump onto the Subliminal Verses tour with SLIPKNOT, SHADOWS FALL and LAMB OF GOD. The band will open several nights of the tour starting on March 4 in Hartford and ending on March 11 in Rosemont, IL. GIZMACHI have also been confirmed to appear at the New England Metal And Hardcore Festival on April 24.
