New ASoT Album! :D

[DuchessOfDork]

Hey guys, just wanted to share! We're releasing our new studio album in November, and the art for the album cover has been released!

We're releasing this one so quickly after the last one, because we worked with an awesome producer (Kevin Gutierrez), so we wanted to put it out ASAP. Plus, we got John Gallagher from Raven to do a duet with me on one of the songs, and I can't wait for people to hear it. We're having an album release party at the Baltimore Soundstage (courtesy of 98 Rock!) on Nov. 21st, so if you're in the area, stop on by!

The cover artwork is really cool.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

Thanks! We got art from another artist, and my husband and I did the layout for the album.

Wow, that is really cool that you got to duet with John Gallagher....Raven is one of my all time favorite bands, and I think they're criminally overlooked as a completely original act in the history of metal. They have a sound that is all their own....nobody can touch the power of Athletic Rock! Kudos to you and your band for hooking up with such a legendary performer!

 

[DuchessOfDork]

Yeah, it was really surreal to be in the studio with such a legend! He had a few fabulous stories about Metallica that left us laughing for DAYS, lemme tell ya.. if you ever get a chance to see Raven perform live, DO IT. John is such a great singer, I really appreciated the opportunity to join forces with him!

Here's a picture of us in the studio! (I'm hiding behind the chair because I just got back from work and was looking very un-metal..)

"if you ever get a chance to see Raven perform live, DO IT."

Trust me, I'd see them in a heartbeat...it's kinda tough since their touring is so sporadic. I hold out hope that maybe they'll make an appearance at a future ProgPower show (c'mon Glenn!). Unfortunately, I don't know how many Raven fans (or should I say "lunatics"!) there would be in an average crowd at PP...it would be sad if they got the "Rage" treatment.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

Yeah, they're old school thrash.. but I really appreciate their music. I loved their last album!

We just put up a YouTube video with one of the songs off our new album! I figured I'd post it here for yuns.

Please tell me what you think. (Even if it's bad. I understand that some are biased against demons and wizards. ;D)

 

[Comic Book Dude]

Sounds pretty cool to me! I'd like to hear a bit more "hook" to the vocal melodies and chorus, but otherwise it's all really good....crunchy guitars, speedy and pounding rhythms, strong vocals....solid tune!

 

[OrbWeaver]

This track is immediately crushing. Definitely reminds me of seeing ASoT live at Dame Nation (one of the best bands of the night!)

 

[Mardoch]

Sounded pretty good. I appreciate that you're a female who sings, not a female singer, if that statement makes sense. I should pick up both of your albums when presented with the opportunity.

not a bad voice at all!

Definitely an improvement in production over the previous album. It sounds more, well, professional.

It makes a lot of sense, thank you.

I'm in big agreement with you, here. We went with an old-style of production for our first album because my guitarist is a big fan of old-school music recordings.. but then realized that it just wasn't up to par with what we really wanted. So, we're really glad we got away from the analog and moved to digital, but it was still a good experience!

I'm glad you guys like it! I hope you like the rest of the album, too! We're shooting a music video for Kill That Bitch right now, so hold on to your butts.

Kill that Bitch is a fucking hilarious song. Probably my favorite piece of new-to-me music on the sampler.
