NAILED Hard At Work On New Material

December 24, 2008

Bassist/vocalist Dan Cocker of U.K. death metallers NAILED has issued the following update:

"Well, we've just finished up the tour for 'Hatred, Failure & The Extinction of Mankind' [NAILED's second album] and we're back in the rehearsal space just before Christmas. We're holed up finishing song number 7 right now and are aiming to write another two before booking studio time. So far the material is crushingly heavy, a little faster, but also diverging into more twisted realms in terms of polyrhythms. It's definitely the best stuff we've written, more focused and cohesive as we've churned it out with one complete lineup in the space of a few months, unlike all the other material which was written through turbulent times and over long periods. Most likely to be our last gig before heading off for pre-production is the Causing Chaos For Cancer show in February 2009. It's for a good cause and there's some cracing goodies to be had so make sure you're there."

NAILED's second album, "Hatred, Failure & The Extinction of Mankind", was released in November via Anticulture Records. The band previously stated about the CD: "We finished up recording and mixing this album back in July 2007, then we started shopping it to labels. In the middle of this, our guitarist left who we replaced with Jim, before getting picked up by Anticulture in late 2007/early 2008 and they set a May release date. During this time the artwork that we had for the CD was bought by Sony BMG, rendering it useless to us, so we had to get the artwork re-done by Marcelo HVC. This delay gave us the chance to remaster the album at the label's request and remove some samples that we were struggling to get clearance for, but lo and behold when we went back the studio had deleted the audio! Luckily, Andy Giblin had the rhythm guitars and drums saved in his personal archive, so we re-recorded the bass, vocals and solos in June of this year, remixed the album and remastered it. It sounds a whole lot better but it's been 18 months in the making, so we hope you fucking enjoy it!"
