Foundation of Bones
Foundation Of Bones was a spur of the moment idea that quickly came to fruition. After returning home from our canceled tours and allowing a little time for the dust to settle, we immediately began writing and finishing up new material. While listening back to some new demos and being stoked on the quality of the mixes, we thought, "Fuck it, Let's give self-production a go and release an impromptu EP!". Dan tracked vocals at home in Indianapolis. Brandon recorded drums with our good friend/sound engineer, Chris Ghazel, in LA. I did guitars, bass, production, and handled mixing/mastering duties in my tiny home trailer studio rig in Taos, NM. After several days of tweaking, we had a mix that we were all very stoked on and felt comfortable moving forward with our first self produced release. The covers were something that we had in mind for some time, and the opportunity to do this EP prompted us to take action. Lamb of God and Necrophagist are two huge inspirations on us (perhaps you can find hints of these influences throughout our last release, Luciferous), so covering these tunes was a no-brainer. We experienced a ton of electric energy tracking these as they are songs that we've loved since we were kids; hopefully, we did them justice! The acoustic version of There Is No Tomorrow was somewhat of a cathartic experience. It was strongly inspired by bands that have done incredible acoustic renditions of their heavy tunes, namely Alice In Chains, The Contortionist, and I See Stars.
