Brand New Sin

New York quintet Brand New Sin have returned with a voracious hard rock assault in Tequila, which is set for an October 3rd release via Century Media Records. An MP3 of "Motormeth" from new album is available here.

Joe Altier (vocals) further describes what "Motormeth" is all about: "The inspiration behind 'Motormeth' was to create a song that hits you in the face and just keeps going. It's BRAND NEW SIN through and through. The song is based on the people in your life that push you to your absolute brink of anger and then reap what they sow. It fits perfectly on our new album, Tequila, which perfectly captures our raw energy. Hopefully, everyone finds the new tunes as 'intoxicating' as we do. We feel that a lot of bands nowadays make things sound too polished, and we have been told for years that our albums are good but our live shows are much better, so that's what we went for. See ya soon."

Soon after completing a six-week nationwide tour as direct support to Black Label Society last fall, Brand New Sin entered Method of Groove studios in Brooklyn with producer Joey Z (Life of Agony, Stereomud) to begin tracking Tequila. They've emerged with an album sure to stand the test of time. The disc, mastered by the acclaimed George Marino (Metallica, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses) at Sterling Sound, also features a guest vocal appearance by Peter Steele (Type O Negative) on the track "Reaper Man" and is the perfect representation of what this group is ultimately capable of creating.

The group also recently recorded a new version of the entrance theme music for Big Show, the 7-foot, 500-pound ECW wrestler. The theme, "Crank It Up," was first heard on the compilation CD WWE: Wreckless Intent, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard charts.
