Trap Them To Begin Recording New Album Next Week

Posted in Records on September 2, 2010

Trap Them will commence recording their as-yet untitled new album at Godcity Studios in Salem, MA this coming Monday, September 06th. Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou will helm the sessions with the album expected out early next year. Speaking on the upcoming sessions, band frontman Ryan McKenny offered the following:

“Next week, and for the rest of September, we get knee deep in the shit. This record has been a long time coming. It’s the first, what we consider, proper LP as a full, solid band. Brian and Chris have been hard at work sweating bullets down in Louisville, loading them up in a death-punk black talon and preparing to fire at will.

This will be our fifth visit to Godcity with Kurt Ballou, who was, naturally, the most obvious choice. We’ve always had a great relationship with him, and there is a certain chemistry between our music and his talent as a producer that puts each session at ease. To sum it up, there was a certain potential the members of this band felt had not yet been met. On this record, that potential has been fully realized. Get heavy, motherfuckers.”
