November 22, 2006Canadian quintet THE END has released more details about, as well as the first track from, their long-awaited new full-length album, "Elementary".

"Elementary" track listing:
01. Dangerous
02. The Never Ever Aftermath
03. Animals

"We have been hiding in obscurity for the last year writing and recording this album and we're all about ready to explode." stated guitarist Andrew Hercules. "Hopefully that doesn't actually happen or else we'd have a big gory mess to clean out of the van. Simply put I think this will be one of those records you fall madly in love with or decree it to be the bane of your existence, but you won't forget it."
"Elementary"'s album art, designed by U.K. artist Colin Marks, can be viewed at this location. Hercules comments on the connection between art and title: "The artwork is all generated from the ideas and imagery in the songs themselves. The cover is symbolic of the perils of idolatry, which is a reoccurring theme throughout the record. The album being titled 'Elementary' is complimented by the simplicity of the images. Which is usually one image comprised of two different interacting forces striving to achieve balance. Why? Because that's the way things are. Basic. Elegant."
An advance preview track taken from "Elementary", "Animals", is available now via the band's official MySpace page. "Elementary" is set for a February 6, 2007 North American release date (February 12 internationally).
