STRICKEN release...

[quote\FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 1st 2008


The wait is over... Coming September 9th 2008, Downpour Records in
association with Roxx Productions is set to release upon the world the
self-titled debut CD from Southern California's very own STRICKEN.

Stricken is a five piece band hailing from the Southern California
Christian metal scene. Five seasoned musicians, five hearts on fire, five
strong individuals poised to take the metal world by storm! Imagine music
as intense as Godsmack and Disturbed with the lyrical passion and message
as hard hitting as bands like Disciple and Stryper.

Bold and unashamed, these five guys are ready to unleash their music and
their passion with a vengeance. So sit back and let your eardrums bleed as
you take in one of the boldest most in your face records this year!

CD will be available at CD Baby, Itunes and various online retail outlets.

When I saw them in Sunland a few years ago, I dug them enough to buy a tee-shirt. I proudly sport a "Stricken" sticker on my snare case.

I listened to that album quite a bit, but in retrospect, it really did suck.

Maybe a proper mixing and mastering can save it.... but maybe not.

I'm confused. What album did you listen to that you think sucks in retrospect?

This band is not "Stryken" from the 80's, if that is what you are talking about. This is a new band that sounds a bit like Disturbed and Disciple called Striken, with an "i".

There will be a Stricken track on the CMR III CD!!!! I was holding off telling anyone, but since the CD is coming out, thought I'd drop that little note.
