MP3.COM HOSTS LISTENING PARTY FOR MNEMIC'S PASSENGER
MNEMIC's third album, Passenger, is available for streaming in its entirety prior to the album's North American street date of February 6th at the following link: http://www.mp3.com/MNEMIC
In the band's current feature in Metal Edge Magazine, MNEMIC guitarist Mircea discusses the new album and his hopes for what it will accomplish:
"This is more of a resurrection album for the band. The melodic became more melodic, and the brutal became more brutal as we succeeded in finding the complete MNEMIC sound. We really took the time that we needed to write songs we could be happy with. We didn't just use the first or the best riff... we demo-ed [the songs], chopped them up, and put them back together. [New singer] Guillaume really did a phenomenal job with vocals. He was the missing piece of the puzzle and simply lifted us to the next level. I hope this release finally puts MNEMIC on the map. I don't want us to just drown in the ocean of all other releases, bands, and labels that are out there in today's metal."
MNEMIC are currently on the "Revolver Presents: The Chains Of Humanity Tour" with God Forbid, Goatwhore, Arsis, and The Human Abstract/Byzantine through February 21st, where the tour will end in Montreal, Québec. States Mircea:
"We toured the U.S. with God Forbid last year with Meshuggah and instantly became friends after some heavy partyin'. YOUR destination will be HELL if you don't show up!"
Produced by Fear Factory's Christian Olde Wolbers at Track Record Studios (Kiss, Megadeth, Aerosmith) in Los Angeles, Passenger features artwork by Asterik Studios (Anthrax, Unearth) and includes guest vocal appearances by Jeff Walker (Carcass, Brujeria) and Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Brujeria). MNEMIC's video for "Meaningless," directed by Revolver Film's Patric Ullaeus, will soon be airing on MTV2's Headbangers Ball.
Passenger will be available for streaming between February 2nd - 6th, 2007. Fans are encouraged to sign up for a free MP3.com account and participate in the "Press Pass: Your Take" function to write their own review.

RE:IGNITION¹s debut album, ³Empty Heart, Loaded Gun², was #1 most added on the CMJ LOUD chart this week with 121 adds, and #2 most added on the FMQB METAL Chart with 54 adds.
"Wow, what can I say, other than we're excited as hell and stoked that radio is reacting so strong to the album," says RE:IGNITION guitarist Steev Esquivel. "With so many killer bands on the scene today, we¹re just stoked amongst the top of the pack."
RE:IGNITION is the new project from Steev Esquivel and Snake formerly of Century Media recording artists SKINLAB. The group is rounded out by vocalist Dave Moore (ex-MINDBENDER), guitarist Tim Howell (ex-FUELED, SACRILEGE B.C.) and drummer Mark Hernandez (ex-TECHNOCRACY, TORQUE).
The band has recently completed filming a video for the album¹s lead singles ³Head On² with director Shawn Sparks (Unjust, Machine Head). The video is currently in post-production and will be released shortly.
"We shot the video for 'Head On" last week with Shawn Sparks in Oakland and things went great," says Esquivel. "We were able to capture some really cool footage. Shawn did a great job and has some cool ideas coming. We should be looking at some edits soon and wrapping it up shortly."
RE:IGNITION has streamed their entire debut album, ³Empty Heart, Loaded Gun² at the band¹s recently re-launched website ReignitionMusic.com |
