THE BLACK CROWES will release their new studio CD, "Before the Frost..." , on September 1, 2009. A second album, titled "…Until The Freeze", will be given away for free exclusively through a unique download code which is included in "Before The Frost…" as a "thank you" to their fans for two decades of continued support.
"Before the Frost..." and its corresponding free album, "…Until The Freeze", were recorded over a series of five nights at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York. Although both are studio albums, all the new material was performed and recorded in front of an intimate audience of the band's fans, making them a part of THE BLACK CROWES musical history.
The innovative technique of inviting fans into the studio to become part of the process during recording is a rare experience.
"Before the Frost..." features eleven new and previously unreleased BLACK CROWES songs, including "Good Morning Captain", "I Ain't Hiding", "Been a Long Time (Waiting on Love)", and other original songs that will serve to spotlight the bands ability to make emotional connections through their music. The free album "…Until The Freeze" is a nine-song collection featuring eight new original BLACK CROWES songs plus a cover version of the STEPHEN STILLS classic "So Many Times".
A limited-edition vinyl release of "Before The Frost…Until The Freeze", featuring all 20 tracks, will also be available on September 1, 2009.
Chris Robinson conceived the concept of "Before the Frost...Until The Freeze". "I think we fulfilled a musical commitment to continue on the golden road of artistic independence," he said. "Approaching 20 years into our careers, we still are ambitious enough to push ourselves to create something unique that we have never done before."
"Before the Frost…Until The Freeze" was produced by Paul Stacey and will be released through THE BLACK CROWES' label, Silver Arrow Records, and Megaforce Records.
THE BLACK CROWES are: Chris Robinson (vocals), Rich Robinson (guitar, vocals), Steve Gorman (drums), Sven Pipien (bass), Adam MacDougall (keyboards) and Luther Dickinson (guitar).

Self-Titled Killswitch Engage New LP
Killswitch Engage will be releasing their new self-titled album on June 30, 2009, much to the excitement of metal fans everywhere. Declared by Revolver Magazine as one of the most anticipated albums of 2009, Killswitch Engage composed this record with a brand new producer (Brenden O'Brien, who has worked with AC/DC and Bruce Springsteen), in an out-of-their-element studio, with a surprising emergence of musical ideas.
Another exciting part of this record release is the fact that it will be released on double vinyl, which is joining the new wave of going back to the roots of listening to pure music, especially heavy metal. Pre-order the album at the Killswitch Engage Web site, and you will not only get a discount on the disc, but hooked up with your choice of a couple packages. These packages range from $29.99 to $44.99, and include the album with posters, limited edition t-shirts designed by the band, and enrollment into the KSE fan club.
