ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN To Release Debut Album Next Week

September 12, 2010

ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN, the new band featuring former BRAND NEW SIN members Joe Altier and Brian "Slider" Azzoto, will release its debut album, "The Last Days Of Planet Earth", on September 17. The CD was recorded at Moletrax Studios in Syracuse and engineered and co-produced by Jeff Moleski and Azzoto. It was mastered at More Sound in Syracuse by Jocko. The cover art and layout was handled by Billy White Jr., who previously worked with Joe in BRAND NEW SIN, doing the layouts and artwork for both the "Tequila" and "Recipe For Disaster" albums.

The entire CD is now available for streaming on the group's ReverbNation site.

ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN will play a CD-release show on September 17 at The Lost Horizon in Syracuse. Also scheduled to appear are GRAIN ELEVATOR, AMERIKAN PRIMITIVE, MANDATE OF HEAVEN and DRYLUNG WHISKEY BINGE.

ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN is:

Joe Altier - Vocals
Brian "Slider" Azzoto - Guitar, Backing Vocals
John Hanus - Guitar
Lewk Detor - Drums
Dave Hoyt - Bass

In an interview with D.T.D. Entertainment, Altier stated about ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN's musical direction, "I think its gonna be tough to NOT sound a little like BRAND NEW SIN considering it's my voice and Slider's riffs (which were a big part of the first BRAND NEW SIN CD)… but we wanted a more ROCK feel. In BRAND NEW SIN we always teetered on the fence of rock and metal. Slider and I really wanted to just be a true rock band. We had no idea what exactly it would sound like but as the year has rolled on we have found a 'sound,' I think. In my opinion, it is very classic-sounding. '70s rock and roll — very bluesy and just plain old no-frills rock and roll!"
