NORA To Enter Studio This Month

January 10, 2007

Trustkill Records recording artists NORA will enter the studio this month in New Jersey to begin recording their next album, entitled "Save Yourself". The band has once again tapped Eric Rachel (ATREYU, LIFETIME, EVERY TIME I DIE) to produce the new CD following their collaboration on 2003's "Dreamers & Deadmen", 2001's "Losers Intuition" and 1999's split with THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN. According to frontman Carl Severson, the group has ten songs ready to record. "It's pretty varied," he says of the new material. "The songs are definitely heavier and we have our fastest songs on here and our most plodding and slow, sludgy material as well."

NORA's last album, "Dreamers & Deadmen", was known for mixing in a dirty rock feel to the band's brutal hardcore and post-hardcore technicality. The CD won a landslide of critical praise, including that from Alternative Press, who called LP "at once a love letter to the hardcore underground and a huge leap forward for metalcore in general" while praising the group's "metal riffs [that are] so heavy PANTERA would've had trouble lifting them."

The band — which includes Severson, Matthew Hay (guitar),Steve Chladnicek (guitar),Mike Olender (bass) and Chris Ross (drums) — recently returned from Japan where they played the Loud Park 06 festival alongside such acts as MEGADETH, OPETH and DRAGONFORCE.
