FIVE STAR PRISON CELL To Enter Studio Next Week

Australian metallers FIVE STAR PRISON CELL will enter Sing Sing South Studios in Melbourne on March 1 to begin recording their third album, entitled "Matriarch". The band states, "We are very excited and sincerely feel this is our strongest work to date.

The group adds, "This album has been two years in the making, from the humble beginnings where we threw a good six or seven songs away to the last year where we have been focusing on the new materiel, meticulously critiquing every part of every song to make sure the end result is something we are happy with.

"We have worked so hard on these songs as it is important to us to evolve as a band and as musicians and to not put out the same album three times, but to always go a step above what we have done in the past. What is left is 12 songs that we are ready to hit the studio with. And naturally, as we want the best for our music, we have been lucky enough to secure one of the best producers in the country...
Enter Forrester Savell (KARNIVOOL, HELMET, FULL SCALE, DEAD LETTER CIRCUS) who will be recording and producing the entire album from start to finish over the next month. Artwork will be by our personal favorite artist, Seldon Hunt, whose talent always continues to astound us.

"We have a clip in the making, and everything else is falling in place for an April release. Then, of course, our 30-show tour, which will take place over May/June/July this year."

FIVE STAR PRISON CELL's second album, "Slaves of Virgo", came out in March 2007 via Faultline Records. The CD was produced by dw Norton at Back Beach studios in Rye, Victoria, Australia.
