Fans of
Washington, DC-area metallers A SOUND OF
THUNDER have successfully funded the band's Kickstarter campaign
for the recording of their third-full length album Time's Arrow. The band have begun work on
Time's Arrow at Assembly Line Studios with
producer Kevin "131" Gutierrez (Shinedown, While Heaven Wept, Raven). With the same band line-up, producer and
studio that created 2012's acclaimed Out
of the Darkness (Nightmare Records), Time's Arrow features 11 new songs
combining rousing and catchy traditional metal with crushing modern
production. The album also features a
guest appearance by Blaze Bayley
performing a duet with vocalist Nina
Osegueda. Time's Arrow will release in early
2013.
The
Kickstarter campaign began on August 20th with a fundraising goal of $8,000,
intended to fund the recording of TIME'S
ARROW. Supporters gain access to
numerous rewards, including downloads, CDs, t-shirts, a limited box set edition
of TIME'S ARROW, and unique and rare items from the band. Supporters are also offered the chance to
sing background vocals on TIME'S ARROW, appear in the band's next music video,
and have music written specifically for them. The $8,000 fundraising goal was
met and surpassed with several days remaining on the campaign, which ends on
Wednesday, September 19th at 11:00 AM EST.
"We're all so
proud and thankful to have such enthusiastic and generous fans," said Osegueda. "I hope they will enjoy the album and EP...we
couldn't have done it without them."
In addition to Time's
Arrow, A SOUND OF THUNDER has
announced a second new release, the Queen of Hell EP, available exclusively
as a Kicstarter reward and due out in November.
Also recorded at Assembly Line Studios with producer Kevin "131"
Gutierrez, the Queen of Hell EP
contains four new tracks, including a guest appearance by Veronica Freeman (Benedictum), and a
cover of Black Sabbath's
"Trashed".
"We've always wanted to do an homage to
classic swords & sorcery themed metal album covers," says lead vocalist Nina
Osegueda. "As you can see, we've gone
horns up with the Queen of Hell art...I finally have the throne of skulls I've
always wanted!" The cover art was
provided by Serbian artist Dušan Marković.
