Warrant Hit The Studio
Glam metallers are in the studio to record their ninth studio album
80s glam metallers Warrant are in the studio working on a new album, it has been revealed.
The California rockers are currently working on a follow-up to 2006’s Born Again with their latest frontman, Robert Mason (Lynch Mob) who has been with the band since Jani Lane’s departure in 2008.
A statement on Sleaze Roxx says:
"I realize we haven't been around much lately (that's subject to physical location by the way, because if you were near any one of us... we would in fact, actually be around each other). We've been holed up in the studio working out the finer points of a brand spankin' new Warrant album... HOW EXCITING!!! We are all really amped up (pun intended) to get the new tracks etched in stone, or on tape, or on hard drive as it is these days and out to all of your ears! No concrete release date at the moment, but word on the street is (actually, word between the five of us... mostly in our homes, not so much on the streets) we're looking forward to an early to mid-summer release... I guess it's safe to say.
"I am using a little bit of extra discretion by NOT leaking too much info just yet... some nasty people still like to steal, even though they know it's just not right, and I'd hate to have to rewrite this whole thing in the off chance that some of the song titles, concepts, even the album title be stolen right out from under our very eyes should the evil-doers take a stab at breaking the eighth commandment. I will tell you that the band name is Warrant and what we are hoping is that this album will further solidify the sound of this band as being one that is consistently awesome! Okay that may sound a bit trite and grandiose but I'd like to believe it's also true. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, (although infinite tread, titanium lined tubeless tires would be nice) our hopes are that we will satisfy the cravings of every rock fan that has ever heard a Warrant album and wished they were longer. Consider the new Warrant sound as merely an extension of what we've done to date with a little more seasoning behind it. Stylistically the new tracks are perhaps a bit more diverse than on previous releases. Of course there's the killer ballad (do those two words really belong together?) or two, the up-tempo slam it out until you pass out rockers, and some stuff that harkens back to our 70's roots, you'll know it when you hear it and it will definitely satisfy! With Pat Regan skillfully helming the board (You should see him, he actually does "helm" when he mixes) as he did on "Born Again" the sound is pure Warrant and then some - thanks to the boy with the golden pipes, Robert Mason.”
