News : Under The Influence release new album next month

By on January 9, 2010

Perth tech-metal trio Under The Influence will release their third full-length record titled, “The Brutal Harsh Honest Truth”, on Saturday 6th February 2010.

Under The Influence (U.T.I) is the brainchild of Perth based musicians Robbie Lumsden and Saxon Smith. Since 2005 this partnership has self-produced no less than 3 full-length records, with the third the first to obtain Australian distribution through Firestarter music.

The record contains 11 tracks of calculated yet grooving sounds derived from a vast array of influences and genres. Delivering a message and mentality that’s relevant now, “The Brutal Harsh Honest Truth” plunges Australian metal into uncharted territory with it’s assaulting displaced riffage, rasping gang vocals, and no holds barred soloing. Honing the U.T.I sound during the course of their previous two records, “The Brutal Harsh Honest Truth” is a true balance of modern metal technicality and mature song writing, a record to be enjoyed by all metalheads old and new.

Out nationally February 6th 2010, through Firestarter Distribution. Available to purchase/order from all good record stores around Australia. U.T.I will also release their previous two records, I and II on Itunes February 6th 2010.
