New York's groove-heavy stoner metal outfit THINNING
THE HERD are preparing to record their sophomore full-length album in
the Summer months ahead.
Following the release of their debut full-length Oceans
Rise -- out in April of 2011 via their own St. Mark's Records, and
several months of regional shows last year -- THINNING THE HERD went
through a major lineup shift. The trio is now comprised of new drummer is Rick
Cimato (Nassua Chainsaw, God's Green Earth) and new bassist Wes Edmonds
(Memphis Native, Engineer), rounded out by founding guitarist/vocalist Gavin
Spielman. The revamped lineup is currently writing new material with plans of
recording the album with Steve Albini this July.
In the meantime THINNING THE HERD have
booked several NYC gigs over the coming weeks, including shows for Friday the
13th (today!), 4:20 and a show May 26 for The Deli Magazine's Best of NYC
