A Life By Design?专辑介绍
Dan Donegan, guitarist for multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated hard rock band Disturbed, has unveiled his new project, Fight or Flight. Fight or Flight will release their debut album, A Life by Design? on July 23rd via Warner Bros. Records. The first single, "First of the Last" will be hits radio May 21st.
"During our hiatus from Disturbed, the separation anxiety from the fans came rather quickly," explains Donegan. He began writing songs on his own, and last year connected with Dan Chandler, front man for the band Evans Blue, about a possible collaboration. The two emailed each other songs back and forth and met in person whenever Chandler was in Donegans hometown of Chicago. When they had enough material to record, Donegan turned to his "Disturbed brother of over twenty years," drummer Mike Wengren and the three entered the studio.
The result is a collection of hypnotic and hard-hitting songs fortified by Donegans trademark riffing and Chandlers melodic sensibility. Ras Sean Corcoran on bass and backing vocals, and Jeremy Jayson on guitar and backing vocals complete Fight of Flights lineup.
"This is more hard rock," Donegan affirms. "Its got edgy moments, but theres more melody across the board. We had the chance to experiment as well. There are acoustic guitars and some electronics even. Its different all around." The stomping first single "First of the Last" is an energetic anthem thats meant to be cranked as loudly as possible. "Its one of the more driving tracks on the record, and its got my signature style," Donegan explains. "Lyrically, its more cryptic. Dan and I spent a lot of time discussing conspiracy theories, and those conversations inspired the song."
