ALIEN ANT FARM (@alienantfarm) has entered Groovemaster
Studios in Chicago, IL to begin work on their fourth album, which will be
released early 2013 on the Executive Music Group label.
The Southern California band’s original line-up--Dryden
Mitchell (lead vocals), Mike Cosgrove (drums), Terry Corso (guitar), Tye Zamora
(bass)--will record new songs together for the first time since 2003 with
Grammy® Award nominee Johnny K (Disturbed, Staind, 3 Doors Down), as well as
other producers within the next few months. This new approach utilizing
various experts in the field will enhance the recording process, capturing
ALIEN ANT FARM’s evolving musical direction, growth and creative style.
“The band is extremely fired up about going into this
record,” proclaims singer Dryden Mitchell. “We've had the fortune in the
past to work with some of the best in the business (Jay Baumgardner, the DeLeo
brothers, Jim Wirt, James Murray) in some of the greatest studios (NRG, Conway,
Glitter Dungeon). Johnny K is no exception to the batting average,
and his studio in Chicago rivals all the greats. We all plan on a ‘newer’
sound for the band, at the same time keeping other Pop-Rock bands in check.
This ain't your Soccer Mom's band, but she can come backstage for an hour
or two.”
ALIEN ANT FARM started their music career in 2001 with ANThology,
which was released on Papa Roach’s New Noize imprint on DreamWorks
Records. Thanks to the #1 single, “Smooth Criminal,” the album reached
double-Platinum status. 2003’s truANT, produced by Stone
Temple Pilots’ Dean and Robert DeLeo, cracked the Top 25 and “Glow” hit #1 on
charts outside the U.S. despite the imminent folding of its record label.
The band has toured all over the world with Linkin Park, Metallica, 311, and
Papa Roach, and has sold over 3.5 million records worldwide.
In October 2011, the band was part of the Michael Forever
tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales along with Cee Lo
Green, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Ne-Yo, Smokey Robinson and others.
They performed two Michael Jackson songs: their smash hit #1
single, a remake of “Smooth Criminal,” and “PYT (Pretty Young Thing).”
More details about the new album and forthcoming tour plans
will be announced in the coming months.
