Los Angeles-based post-progressive metal band INTRONAUT has entered Clearlake Audio with engineer Josh Newell to begin recording its fifth full-length album. The CD will be mixed by Devin Townsend for a late 2015 release via Century Media Records.
Commented INTRONAUT vocalist/guitarist Sacha Dunable: “Really pumped on these songs. Overall, it’s going to be a bit more dense and brutal than the past couple records, but mostly still the INTRONAUT you’ve grown to love or hate.
“We’re tracking mostly live, like real men in a real band, at Clearlake Audio, where we did Valley Of Smoke, with Josh Newell once again engineering. Then we’re sending it off to Devin Townsend to mix, which is super exciting.”
INTRONAUT will support MESHUGGAH in Anaheim today, replacing labelmates WARBRINGER, whom Disney deemed inappropriate to perform at the venue.
Named the best metal band by the LA Weekly, INTRONAUT formed in 2004 and has released four full-length studio albums and two EPs. They’ve toured with TOOL, MASTODON, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, TESSERACT and were the backing band for multi-instrumentalist Cloudkicker on his first and only national tour.
