THE LIVING FIELDS Completes Work On Debut Album

December 30, 2006

THE LIVING FIELDS, the Chicago-based band featuring Chad Walls (ex-BRODEQUIN, PUSTULATED) and Jon Higgs (MONSTERWORKS),has completed work on its self-titled debut album. Two years of sporadic collaboration have resulted in seven songs that cover a wide range of styles and emotions, from the crushing lament of "What is Left Behind" to the funereal "Burial at Sky" to the epic, thrashing closer "The Overview Effect". The music is rooted in doom, but elements of prog, melodic death metal, world music and classical seep into the arrangements. String quartet arrangements accentuate both the highs and lows, while snatches of piano, timpani and hand percussion add detail to the work.

"The Living Fields" track listing:

01. What is Left Behind (10:19)
02. Burial at Sky (5:48)
03. This Great Majority (4:16)
04. Feast for the Earth (4:47)
05. Monument (4:32)
06. The Soil Giveth (7:19)
07. The Overview Effect (10:23)

Total Time: 47:24

One full track, "Monument", has just been uploaded to the band's web site, along with 30-second samples of the remaining tracks. An additional cut, "The Soil Giveth", has been uploaded to the band's MySpace page.

The band is currently shopping the album to labels for consideration.

THE LIVING FIELDS released its demo, "The Miseries Never Cease", in 2004 to wide acclaim.
