THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE Announces New Guitarist

November 18, 2006

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina-based metal/thrash/hardcore act THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE — whose drummer Tyler Solnosky was involved in an accident while on tour in March, requiring hospitalization — has issued the following update:

"Our new guitar player is Chris Grant. He has played in some kick-ass bands in the past, including CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON and NOURISH THE FLAME. We all think it was a good decision to pick him due to Chris being a good guitarist for one, but an amazing individual and bro to us as well. Right now we are taking some time off to get back to full strength and also write some new and brutal material for our next album. So far we've written two new songs that, in our opinion, literally destroy our old shit to smithereens. We're all really confident with the new lineup; more confident than we have ever been actually. The new stuff seems be more mature... By that, I mean less choppy and better hooks but with out repeating something over and over again. It just flows a lot better. Tyler has been doing a lot better too since his accident. He has really come around. He still has a ways to go to get back to where he was before but he's still doing damn well. He says he can feel it coming back slowly but surely which gives us more motivation to keep on keepin' on.

"I'm pretty sure that all of this is going to make us stronger and keep pushing on. All of our hearts are into it 110%. Yeah, it's going to be til probably next fall til we get back on the road again and probably 2008 'till we come out with a new album, but that's just a small price to pay to be able to come back with more drive and a better outlook on everything as a whole to get it done right, if you know what I mean. You can't stop THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE!!!"

THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE's debut album, "Feel Like Hell", was released in August 2005 via Ironclad Recordings (the label formed by UNEARTH frontman Trevor Phipps).
