Album Out:August 28, 2012
(This is the bands Bio)
Pacific
Northwest’s Stealing Axion was formed in the winter of 2009 by
guitarists Dan Forbrich, Josh DeShazo, and Phil Willmarth. The three
friends would get together to hang out and write riffs. Slowly,
actual songs started coming together. By early 2010 they self
recorded and released their EP which rapidly spread across the net
and garnered them tons of praise from fans and critics alike. With
these songs as a solid foundation, the band maintained a steady
regiment of writing and developing their sound and soon had enough
material to serve as a full length album.
The
band was then contacted by Acle Kahney (TesseracT guitarist and
producer) about mixing and mastering the songs. Working closely with
him on the sounds and textures of the album, Moments
(the title of the band’s debut full length)
developed into a dynamic and immense listening experience. The album
uniquely combines the ferocity and rawness of modern metal with
delicate and expansive atmospheres. The result is a sound that
is accessible while maintaining a detailed and complex
framework.
"We feel this album is a culmination of the
different compositional techniques that we've experimented with over
the last few years. We like to take the basic song structures
and let them ferment and slowly add layers to the mix until we are
satisfied. Some of these songs have taken a while to fully
mature." comments Dan.
Regarding
the band’s lyrical style, Josh states "We take a somewhat
different approach to our lyrical composition. We try to keep
each song focused on a single story or concept, while lending to a
much larger picture and message. This ultimately leaves room
for interpretation by the listener, helping each person to have their
own unique experience."
With the recent signing to
InsideOut Music/Century Media Records, 2012 proves to be an exciting
year. Expect their debut album to be released worldwide in the
spring and for them to play in a city near you.
