Y&T: Audio Samples Of Entire New Album Available

April 26, 2010

Audio samples of all 14 songs that are set to appear on "Facemelter", first studio album in 13 years from Californian rockers Y&T, are available on the Heavy Harmonies web site.

Y&T, featuring original members Dave Meniketti and Phil Kennemore (bass),along with longtime members John Nymann (guitar) and Mike Vanderhule (drums),will release "Facemelter" in Europe on May 21 via Frontiers Records.

As the title indicates, "Facemelter" is a hard-rockin', song-oriented album that lives up to its name: it captures the band's raw energy and tightness that they've become known for. Featuring heavy grooves, powerful guitars, and strong melodies, the band shows their versatility, delivering a range of high-energy rockers, mid-tempo head-bangers, modern rock grooves, majestic ballads, and signature Y&T rock anthems. To mark the return, the band engaged John Taylor Dismukes — the same artist who designed covers for Y&T's classic albums "Mean Streak", "Black Tiger" and "In Rock We Trust" — to create the amazing art of the new "Facemelter".

Face-melting is a term that has been with Y&T since the mid-'70s, when a rabid fan ran backstage and told the band, "you melted my face," which inspired the group's first publishing company: "Facemelting Music."
