COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Josiah Prince<\/strong>: &#8220;I am honored to be working&nbsp;with Precious Death on this project.&nbsp; I&#8217;m blown away at how these guys haven&#8217;t lost a step. They are picking up right where they left off with muscular riffs and powerhouse vocal performances.&nbsp; It&#8217;s been a blast for me to play this role and help it all come together.&nbsp; I think fans are in for a real treat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chris<\/strong>: &#8220;Josiah is insanely good in the studio.&nbsp; He&#8217;s the most efficient producer we&#8217;ve ever worked with.&nbsp; It was amazing to see how quickly he got the best performances out of us in just the first two days.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Andy<\/strong>: &#8220;We were super stoked at how the vocals tracks came out.&nbsp; Josiah is a maniac and we pretty much plan to finish the album at The Ranch.&nbsp; It&#8217;s not just the results, it&#8217;s the fun environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Andy<\/strong>: &#8220;It&#8217;s all been hyped before: PD is working on new stuff, PD is releasing a rough mix of <em>Red Moon Rising<\/em> single, PD hopes to finish the album.&nbsp; But wow we are seriously close now. Thanks so much to our incredibly patient fans for hearing about this for probably 3 1\/2 years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Here&#8217;s where we are: all 9 songs have all of the instruments tracked.&nbsp; Vocals are fully tracked on 3 of them.&nbsp; Josiah is producing those and will be finished in about a month or so.&nbsp; At that point we&#8217;ll take a few weeks to mix those 3, then master them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We have a few labels talking to us, with some handshake offers already, but the idea is to finish the 3 songs first then shop all labels.&nbsp; After that fun process, go back in to do vocals on the other 6 and finish the whole thing up, with singles, videos, and&nbsp;album to follow.&nbsp; But who knows, we sure don&#8217;t.&nbsp; Maybe a label will want to instead do a 3-song EP.&nbsp; But our goal is to do shows here and there, so I&#8217;d love to have all of the new material out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;For the first 3 songs at least, it&#8217;s heavier stuff than we&#8217;ve done in the past, that doesn&#8217;t mean super drop tuning or blast beats, rather it just hits hard. But it&#8217;s absolutely Precious Death and fans will pick up on that instantly.&nbsp; Chris will always have his distinctive delivery and I&#8217;ll always make sure the groove matches the heaviness.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andy signs off on this report by reminding me of the time they spent the night at the Van Pelt house \/ Heaven&#8217;s Metal Magazine headquarters decades ago: <br>&#8211;<em>Andrew R Koehler<\/em>, <em>PD bassist.&nbsp; And a guy who played basketball at the park in 1994 when visiting Doug&#8217;s house &amp; then jumped in the community pool and IT WAS AS HOT AS BATH WATER.<\/em> (That&#8217;s Texas in the summer, y&#8217;all).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This just in from bassist Andy Koehler: &#8220;We have nine new tracks, all recorded already.&nbsp;The&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":19128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1021,1022],"tags":[1156],"class_list":["post-19032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features-d97","category-news-d70","tag-precious-death"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
