DARK NEW DAY--Clint Lowery (guitarist from Sevendust), Will
Hunt (drummer from Evanescence), Troy McLawhorn (guitarist from Evanescence),
Brett Hestla (lead singer/guitarist from Virgos Merlot) and Corey Lowery
(bassist from Stereomud and Eye Empire)—will release their highly anticipated
sophomore album, NEW TRADITION, February 28 on Goomba Music
(distributed by eOne Music). The first single, “New Tradition” is
currently being serviced to radio stations nationwide.
NEW TRADITION is the follow-up to 2005’s debut
album, TWELVE YEAR SILENCE, which was released on Warner Bros.
Records. In 2006, the band released THE BLACK PORCH ACOUSTIC
SESSIONS EP after being on tour for over a year with Chevelle,
Seether, Crossfade, and many others. After the EP’s release, they got to
work on what would eventually be their second album, known at the time as HAIL
MARY. Going through many employee and management changes, Warner
Bros. decided to release the band from their contract, leaving the HAIL
MARY album to be unreleased. It was at this point that DARK
NEW DAY went on a hiatus, with the members either returning to
their previous bands or venturing out into new projects.
The fire for new DARK NEW DAY material continued
to burn in both the band members and the diehard fan base alike. The
band came together in 2011 to compile tracks from HAIL MARY,
along with newly written and recorded songs, for a special album which
will be released as a "Thank You" to all the loyal
fans that have continued to follow the band and request more material from
the group.
"We’re very excited about the new DARK NEW DAY
release,” proclaims guitarist Clint Lowery. “It seems the time is right
to make these songs public and share with the fans that continue to support
this project. We believe this music is still very valid and powerful
today, and think its mandatory we give these songs a fair chance out in the
music world. We owe it to ourselves and the DND fans. NEW
TRADITION sums up the mindset we were in writing the follow-up to TWELVE
YEAR SILENCE."
