Charred Walls of the Damned New Album Update

I thoroughly enjoyed the debut, looking forward to this one...

Quote :

CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED — the project led by acclaimed metal drummer Richard Christy (ICED EARTH, DEATH, LEASH LAW, CONTROL DENIED, BURNING INSIDE) — has set "Cold Winds On Timeless Days" as the title of its sophomore CD, due on October 11 via Metal Blade Records. Audiohammer's Jason Suecof produced and Mark Lewis mixed, while mastering was handled by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (SEPULTURA, SUFFOCATION, UNEARTH) in New Windsor, New York. Christy states, "It's 12 songs of crushing heavy metal and I CAN'T WAIT for everyone to hear it.

With 12 songs clocking in at 58 minutes, fans are getting a lot more music this time around. Recording twelve songs in a short amount of time is no easy feat, but one that was accomplished because of the stellar talents in the band. Christy elaborates further: "I wanted to get a natural sound out of this album, I wanted everyone to be well rehearsed, not that I wanted the album to be rushed, but I wanted the spontaneous live feel and not over think anything too much." Christy describes "Cold Winds on Timeless Days" as a "perfect storm of producing."

"Cold Winds On Timeless Days" track listing:

01. Timeless Days
02. Ashes Falling Upon Us
03. Zerospan
04. Cold Winds
05. Lead The Way
06. Forever Marching On
07. Guiding Me
08. The Beast Outside My Window
09. On Unclean Ground
10. Bloodworm
11. Admire The Heroes
12. Avoid The Light

Christy previously stated about the new CHARRED material, "If you liked the first album, you're definitely going to love this album! It's going to be super-melodic, have plenty of blast beats, plenty of super-catchy vocal parts, heavy guitars, and insane bass parts!"

CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED's recording lineup:

* Richard Christy - Drums
* Jason Suecof - Guitar, Producer
* Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ICED EARTH) - Vocals
* Steve DiGiorgio (SADUS, TESTAMENT) - Bass

Cool tune!!!

No love for Charred Walls? Pfft, buncha posers!

Man, I shoulda read that first post. Ripper Owens, Richard Christy, and Steve DiGiorgio? That's awesome!

Bump for album cover. Not that any of you posers care...

HAHAHA! I care.

The name alone is enough to put me off. I think somebody here posted that band names consisting of more than 1 or 2 words are "verboten".

They are an excellent band, their first album was my No.1 album the year it was released. If people would give Ripper a chance and actually listen to this band they might be surprised.

Yea, the names kinda retarded. There is a long cryptic reason behind it that I don't feel like recounting now. It's from a prank phone call that Richard Christy made on the Howard Stern show.

Richard's an exceptional drummer and I thought all the Tim Owens fan-boys would be all over this, but I guess not. I enjoyed the first album, so I'll get this one as well. It's probably too thrashy for your tastes I'd reckon Toho.

This stuff sounds better than the first album.

Ditto.

Never picked up the last CD cuz the samples I heard from it on YouTube didn't even sound like all the musicians were playing the same song. Ripper sounded great but the music was just background chaos with each guy showing off his chops.

If they've streamlined things a little bit on this new one then I might be more interested.
