THESE ARE THEY Adds New Guitarist

August 24, 2009

THESE ARE THEY — the Chicago-based death metal band featuring vocalist Paul Kuhr (NOVEMBERS DOOM),guitarist Steve Nicholson (ex-NOVEMBERS DOOM),bassist Wiley Wells (EARTHEN) and drummer Sasha Horn (TRIALS) — has announced the addition of guitarist Justin Jurgevich (HURTLOCKER) to the group's ranks. After many months of auditions, "Justin brings with him the perfect combination of his love for old school death metal, dedication to his instrument, and chemistry with the band which makes him the perfect addition," according to a press release.

THESE ARE THEY will release its full-length debut, "Who Linger", on November 10 via Unruly Sounds/The End Records.

The track listing is as follows:

01. Ascension
02. the Voices Sound Deadly
03. Upon the Doors of Oblivion
04. In the Halls of Waverly
05. Blood Vengeance
06. Eclipse Abysmal
07. The Indweller
08. The Midnight Hour
09. Resurrection in White
10. 4th of July (SOUNDGARDEN cover)

Their "4th of July" SOUNDGARDEN cover is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

THESE ARE THEY's debut EP, "Who Manifest", came out on May 12 exclusively via The End Records' online mail order service, The Omega Order. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Chris Wisco at Belle City Sound in Racine, Wisconsin.

Thirteen years after departing NOVEMBERS DOOM, Nicholson reunited with Kuhr in 2008 in order to create something new and fresh. With the help of Wells, along with good friends Mike LeGros (DISINTER, EARTHEN) and drummer Evan Berry, a musical style was chosen, material was written, and THESE ARE THEY recorded its debut EP.

Guitar-driven, downtuned and powerful, the material is old-school Chicago death metal with flashes of BOLT THROWER, OBITUARY, and ENTOMBED and contains more headbanging hook than you can shake a fist at.

Paying tribute to the bands that have paved the way with their greatness, THESE ARE THEY will follow with their own take on a style of death metal that to this day has no equal in hook, power, and brutality.

THESE ARE THEY is:

Paul Kuhr (vocals)
Steve Nicholson (guitar)
Justin Jurgevich (guitar)
Wiley Wells (bass)
Sasha Horn (drums)
