1000hp专辑介绍
The multi-platinum US rockers GODSMACK will release its new album, "1000hp" (One Thousand Horsepower), internationally via Spinefarm Records on September 1. The CD will be made available domestically on August 5 via Republic Records.
1000hp is set for U.S. release on August 5, 2014 via Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group. In Europe, the album is set for release on September 1 via Spinefarm Records. On July 7, the album was made available for preorder via Amazon and the band's official website.
1000hp was mixed and produced by Dave Fortman, who has worked with Godsmack on their previous studio album, The Oracle, as well as with other bands such as Superjoint Ritual, Mudvayne, Otep, Slipknot on their fourth studio album titled All Hope Is Gone, and Simple Plan, as well as on both of Evanescence's multi-platinum selling albums, The Open Door and Fallen. "I love the studio," says Fortman. "I came back to get that unique sound for this new Godsmack record and we really nailed it and had a great time." The album was co-produced by Sully Erna.
On July 1, the album cover for 1000hp was made available to preview via the official Revolver Magazine website.
In an interview with The Pulse Of Radio, Sully Erna decribed the sound of the album as "a little bit more raw, a little bit more open. The writing was a little freer. The production is really kind of raw and in your face, and the songs, man — I'm really, really excited about these songs. And I have to tell you honestly, I wasn't that excited about writing this record at first."
To promote the album, the band teamed up with iHeartRadio to create "The Making of 1000HP", a series of five webisodes which give fans a look at the process of making album. Each webisode is filled with exclusive content, behind the scenes footage, interviews, and sneak peeks at the album's songs. The first of five webisodes premiered on July 9.
