JEFF LOOMIS Talks About His New JLV-7 Signature SCHECTER Guitar (Video)

September 21, 2012

Video footage of former NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff Loomis talking about his new JLV-7 signature Schecter guitar can be seen below.

Loomis entered the studio in June to record three new tracks. Joe Nurre (SHADED ENMITY),who plays guitar with Loomis in Jeff's solo band, laid down the vocals for the songs.

"After we got off our last tour with PERIPHERY and PROTEST THE HERO, Jeff and I got to talking about how it would be cool to do some heavier, death metal-type stuff with some more aggresive vocals," Joe said. "So Jeff and I [decided to hit] the studio with producer/engineer Aaron Smith (7 HORNS 7 EYES),who also recorded and mixed Jeff's latest record, 'Plains Of Oblivion'."

Loomis recently took part in a North American tour with THE CONTORTIONIST. The trek kicked off on July 14 in Indianapolis, Indiana and wrapped on August 3.

Loomis's second solo album, "Plains Of Oblivion", sold 2,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 179 on The Billboard 200 chart. The effort landed at No. 2 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Plains Of Oblivion" was released on April 10 in North America (one day earlier in Europe) via Century Media Records. The CD was produced by Aaron Smith (7 HORNS 7 EYES) and features cover artwork by Colin Marks of Rain Song Design, who has previously worked with ALL SHALL PERISH, THE END and XERATH.
