purified, condensed, stronger: "Distilled"

It’s been so long since we had this much news. I can’t help but to reflect on our last couple years as a five piece. We released The Tequila Record in late 2006. We had some of the most exciting shows of our careers in 2007: 3 week UK tour with Soil, Godhead and Lennon; 7 weeks on the Type O Negative tour; 4 shows with The Cult; direct support for Godsmack in our home town; KROCKATHON with Drowning Pool, Chris Cornell, & The Deftones; The New York State Fair Colliseum; BNS headlined Brooklyn Metal Fest with MOD; We headlined NASCAR weekend at Watkins Glenn; and we opened the Jager-Music tour for two shows with Stone Sour, Lacuna Coil & Shadows Fall.

Then we had nothing.

7 months went by with no Brand New Sin.

We got it rolling again with a new singer but that didn’t work. On top of that we had to say goodbye to our long time friend and guitarist for personal reasons.

It didn’t look good.

Luckily, Kris, Chuck and I were still fired up and ready. We had no record label, no manager, no booking agent, no money, no real idea how to do it, and no reason not to try.

WE DID IT!

Brand New Sin is back stronger than ever and we own everything for the first time: copyrights, master recordings, publishing, merchandise …it’s all ours. We have control for the first time in our careers and it feels great. Kris Wiechmann has out done himself with extraordinary writing and musicianship on this album. We couldn’t have asked for a better production thanks to Ron Keck, Derek Yackel at SubCat Music Studios.

This CD had so many chances to fail before it’s inception and we wouldn’t let it. It’s here and it needs to be heard.

Hats off to Brand New Sin! We’re back!

I’ll toast to that!
