ARMORED SAINT – posten ersten Song und Artwork des neuen Albums ‘La Raza’! / posts first single and artwork for new album, “La Raza”!

Deutsch: Armored Saint haben das Coverartwork und den ersten Song ihres neuen Albums La Raza gepostet! Das Fundament der neuen Scheibe wurde 2008 gelegt, als Joey Vera und John Bush damit begannen, an neuen Songs zu arbeiten. Der Longplayer wurde im Dezember 2009 in den Tranzformer Studios in Burbank, CA vollendet. Produziert wurde La Raza von Joey Vera selbst, engineered haben Bryan Carlstrom und dessen Assistent John Nuss. Die Aufnahmen gingen größtenteils auf analogem Equipment vonstatten und der finale Mix wurde auf 1-inch-tapes getätigt. Dadurch hat La Raza den organischsten Sound, der überhaupt möglich ist! Armored Saint Fans klicken hier , um die erste Single Left Hook From Right Field anzuchecken!

Um das Paket zu komplettieren, hat die Band die Dienste von Fotografin Stephanie Cabral und Metal Blade Grafikchef Brian Ames in Anspruch genommen. Joey Vera hierzu: “Metal Blade is doing a really cool digipack package for us. We felt like the city of Los Angeles is such a big part of our fabric that we wanted to use that in the design of the artwork. So with the help of our good friend and photographer Stephanie Cabral and Brian Ames from the Metal Blade art department, we came up with a really cool package that represents our band and the music on this record. We also wanted to incorporate a “green” action by leaving out the plastic CD tray and using recycled paper. The result is a classy and poignant package.”
