TRAP THEM To Enter Studio Next Week

September 3, 2010

On Monday, Seattle's TRAP THEM will convene in Salem, Massachusetts at Godcity Studio with producer Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, DISFEAR, BLACK BREATH) to commence recording its Prosthetic Records' debut (and third full-length album overall). This will be the band's first album to feature drummer Chris Maggio, formerly of COLISEUM. The group has also launched a new blog where it will be documenting the recording process and, ultimately, the touring cycle around this as-yet-untitled effort. Expect new entries, photos and videos regularly at WeCraftInDarkness.com.

Vocalist Ryan McKenny commented; "Next week, and for the rest of September, we get knee-deep in the shit.

"This record has been a long time coming. It's the first, what we consider, proper LP as a full, solid band.

"Brian and Chris have been hard at work sweating bullets down in Louisville, loading them up in a death-punk black talon and preparing to fire at will.

"This will be our fifth visit to Godcity with Kurt Ballou, who was, naturally, the most obvious choice. We've always had a great relationship with him, and there is a certain chemistry between our music and his talent as a producer that puts each session at ease.

"To sum it up, there was a certain potential the members of this band felt had not yet been met. On this record, that potential has been fully realized.

"Get heavy, motherfuckers."

TRAP THEM's sound combines elements of old-school Swedish death metal, punk, and d-beat and takes influence from bands such as ENTOMBED, BLACK FLAG, NASUM and TRAGEDY. The band has toured with the likes of NAPALM DEATH, DISFEAR, SKELETONWITCH, VICTIMS, ROTTEN SOUND, TOXIC HOLOCAUST and COLISEUM, among others, and played the Scion Rock Fest, Maryland Deathfest and the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. The group most recently released an EP on Southern Lord Records, and has previously released two full-lengths and several seven-inch singles and EPs on Deathwish Inc. and Trash Art.
