TODAY IS THE DAY Frontman Hopes His Band's Day Has Arrived

July 27, 2007

TODAY IS THE DAY frontman Steve Austin has told MTV.com that he hopes his band will finally be able to break out of the underground and spread its chaotic music and message to a larger audience with its upcoming album, "Axis of Eden" (scheduled for September 18).

"It seems to me like a lot of people are finding out about us through these other bands, and they're going, 'Wow, this seems like a seminal thing. I wonder what this sh--'s about?' " Austin explained. "So, maybe they'll check out our new record, which, in my opinion, is the best ... thing we've ever done. And, hopefully, it will blow these people away and open a new dimension for them."

Austin, who just finished mixing "Axis of Eden", says the new material is eclectic and intense, incorporating elements of extreme metal, psychedelia and even world music. "No song is like the last, and it's a crazy sonic journey," Austin said. "It's really hard to pin down or describe, but I love it because it's like a big, wild art project."
