Australian hard rockers
AIRBOURNE will release their third album,
"Black Dog Barking", on May 21 via
Roadrunner Records. The follow-up to 2010's
"No Guts. No Glory." was produced by
Brian Howes, who has previously worked with
HINDER,
DAUGHTRY and
PUDDLE OF MUDD.
Said the band: "A lot of thought and effort has gone into this record not only by the band, but by the production crew who worked countless hours, seven days a week, even through Christmas and New Year's Eve to achieve the best possible performances, backed by real undying tones. Now we're handing it over to you... so crank it up, crack a beer and stick some rock 'n' roll in your ear!"
The Full Throttle edition of a new
AIRBOURNE song,
"Live It Up", will be made available for the opening of Full Throttle at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, the tallest, fastest looping roller coaster in the world. The track will be released to rock radio in late spring, followed by its in-park debut at Six Flags Magic Mountain with the ride opening. The Full Throttle edition of
"Live It Up" will be featured throughout the newly themed five-acre section of the park where guests will experience high-energy action through fast-paced imagery, sound and lights, with additional music featuring various
Roadrunner artists. The launch will be further supported nationally in all theme parks,
Roadrunner and
Six Flags online and social media channels, live events and press outreach.
"Theme music is synonymous with television, movies and even sports. It's a natural extension to bring original music to a world-class roller coaster, like Full Throttle," said
David McKillips, Senior Vice President of Corporate Alliances,
Six Flags Entertainment. "
Roadrunner Records had the creative vision and talent to match the heart-pounding speed and adrenaline the ride experience delivers, backed with a content partnership that provides best-in-class entertainment to our guests."
In addition to the song's release,
Six Flags and
Roadrunner will be working together on programming to be featured on
Six Flags digital networks, which includes the
Nielsen-measured
Six Flags Television Network. The content partnership will air
Roadrunner videos in ride-line televisions and help drive awareness, music downloads, and sales for
Roadrunner's breadth of rock artists.
"This is an innovative partnership that brings together two great brands and allows
Roadrunner to bring music to millions of entertainment-seeking consumers in a new way," said
Michael Easterlin, General Manager of
Roadrunner Records. "
Six Flags' ability to generate awareness through the Full Throttle attraction and its national media network provides a unique outlet for fans to instantly access our music."
AIRBOURNE's infectious music has been used in more than 20 video games, countless films, trailers and more.
