UNIT:187 signs to Vendetta Music !!!
....
Vendetta Music is proud to announce the signing
of veteran heavy industrialists Unit:187 for their fourth studio album
'Out for Blood'! Combining the best elements of old-school industrial
into a corrosive, visceral, and vitriolic mixture, 'Out for Blood' is a
hard punch in the face that will reacquaint the industrial ...genre
with the true meaning of abrasiveness and intensity.
Founded in
1994 by John Morgan and Tod Law, Unit:187 spent less than a year in
their Vancouver studio while playing live at local clubs before landing
their first record deal with San Francisco’s seminal 21st Circuitry
Records. A solid debut album followed up by several west coast US
tours earned the band a respectable fan-base throughout Canada and the
US. Their sophomore album, 1998’s “Loaded”, featured new band members
Jed Simon (guitar) and Byron Stroud (bass) of Strapping Young Lad,
drummer Jay Hagen, and was produced by Devin Townsend. The album
yielded some instant industrial classics, such as the title track
“Loaded” and “Stillborn” which was remixed for the album by Frontline
Assembly’s Rhys Fulber. 2003 saw the band release their 3rd studio
album “Capital Punishment”. Staying with the same line-up, but adding
the additional talents of FLA’s Chris Peterson on several tracks, the
album didn't disappoint, with Unit’s trademark synth riffs, movie
samples, and driving guitars blazing full-tilt from start to finish. The
album’s title track kicks off with a killer groove and mix by legendary
Skinny Puppy producer Anthony Valcic.
With a fan base growing
internationally, Unit:187 has adjusted the current line-up for their
upcoming 4th studio album, bringing on Chris Peterson (Front Line
Assembly / Delerium / Decree) full time and adding Guitarist Ross
Readhead (Decree). 'Out for Blood' marks a new turning point for the
band, working hard in the studio to produce raw heavy music that punches
fist-first through the current trend of goth euro-cheese with a solid
dose of old-school industrial that hasn’t been heard in years. Mixed by
Skinny Puppy’s producer, Hiwatt Marshall and mastered by Greg Reely,
'Out for Blood' pulls out all the stops to musically and sonically pound
your eardrums into a memorable pulp, while at the same time leaving you
with sweet melodies to sing along to long after the your sound system
fails from transistor overload.
Check out clips from the upcoming release on the Unit:187 website.
