jhulud Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 While every bit as sonically vitriolic as their past endeavors, Painted attempts to focus its energy rather than lash out blindly. Songs like “Greenland” and “It’s The Water” still weigh in with bottom-heavy instrumentation, but lyrically look towards brighter horizons. Though the band seeks to close the emotional divide it basked in on their debut, the primary meaning behind New Distances couldn’t be more pertinent to the band’s sophomore album. The U.S. Department of Immigration recently denied entry to Cox, forcing the recruitment of temporary guitarist Mark Holcomb (Aeges, Undertow, Shift) for Narrow’s 2011 tour with Helms Alee. While the global nature of the band already limited their opportunities for touring, this additional roadblock further exacerbated the difficulties of writing and recording an album with members spread across the United Stated and Europe. Despite the difficulties of recording across two hemispheres, Painted sounds like a band locked into a singular vision. Matt Bayles (Mastodon, ISIS, Minus The Bear) recorded the album at Red Room Studios with Cox’s guitar overdubs tracked by Wayne Pennell at Bunker Studios in Brentford, England during late night Skype sessions with the stateside members of the band. Due in part to the constraints of time and distance, Painted is a streamlined record. With eight songs clocking in at just over 27 minutes, the album wastes no time exorcising its demons. And while part of New Distances’ allure stemmed from it’s marriage of primal metallic hardcore with the effects-laden art rock approach of guitarists Cox and Frederiksen, Painted harnesses power from curtailing more of their experimental moments in favor of big meaty riffs and voracious tempos.

lungfutang Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sounds great! Any info on the colours? You can't select the colour, correct? Thanks I'm a bit slow. 3 colorways on this release. didn't state what they were though. deathwish did state that colorways would be sent out on a "first come first serve basis". so if you ordered fairly quick, i'd imagine you're chances of getting the most limited is fairly decent.

whoshotthefrog Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think it's a preorder since they didn't have a drop down link for the color selections but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pre order. Colors are sent out in the order that the orders come in. The sooner you order, the better the chance of getting all three! Word!

Derek™ Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Grabbed this earlier, but am unable to dive into the download quite yet. The wait is excruciating. Can't wait to see what kind of variants go with that art, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
