Times of Leach

A message from Jesse Leach (of Seemless, etc.)...

As of this morning I am heading to Massachusetts to put the finishing touches on the "Times of Grace" album with my good friend Adam D at the helm. I can't say enough about this album, so I won't say anything except that I think most of you may be surprised by the diversity of it. We are hoping this album will receive a release date in mid 2009, that all depends on the record label. As soon as this album session is wrapped up I begin another one!

My new band The Empire Shall Fall! I have been so tied up these past few months with "Times of Grace" I have had little time to dedicate to these guys. For those who don't know already long story short I started a "metal band" of sorts. This band consists of two seasoned Jazz players a bassist & a drummer who have never played aggressive music until now. An 18 year old guitarist that plays an 8 string guitar & has currently written the three songs that are up as demo versions on our myspace page.

We have literally had 5 full band rehearsals & played 4 shows, so really we haven't even begun to form our sound etc. This band was formed not just on the the love of music, but first & foremost a message. Our message is to educate uplift & provoke thought in our fellow human beings about politics/human rights & the world around us. Thus far musically we have jammed on Metal, hardcore, thrash & rock, but the new stuff brings some Jazz,math-rock & experimental stuff. Really expect us to make some noise with our message as well as our music. We are currently preparing to write a few more tracks play for a few months & then hit the studio to record a full length.
I can't stress this enough we are a totally D.I.Y. band we currently have no management, no PR, no label. So everything we do we do it ourselves! So if you live in the northeast and are a promoter, know a promoter pass us along. Or if you are a promoter with good backing & want to fly us somewhere hit me up! my point is help us get the word out, we need your help to get shows & get our sound tight & ready for the studio!

Thanks everyone for all of your support & kind words! Stay tuned for more updates!
One Love
Jesse
