UNEARTH Taps JUSTIN FOLEY (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) For Upcoming Album

Metalcore heavyweights UNEARTH, have announced that Justin Foley (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) will be handling drum duties on the band's upcoming as-yet-untitled 5th studio album. Out mid to late June 2011.

UNEARTH will also be working with veteran producer Mark Lewis (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, TRIVIUM, and many more) at Zing Studios in Westfield, MA (U.S.A.) for the new effort.

The band posted the following message on their Myspace page concerning the news:

"We wanted to let everyone know that tracking for the new album has officially begun! We're currently at Zing Studios in Westfield, MA tracking drums with our sit in drummer for the album Justin Foley of Killswitch Engage/Blood Has Been Shed. Foley was an obvious choice for this album for many reasons, but mainly because of his abilities and knowledge of heavy music as well as his long time friendship with the band. A decade plus of friendship has made this an easy transition for the band, Foley and our producer/engineer Adam D..

In other news, we have decided to change the mixing engineer for the album to Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, White Chapel, Devil Driver, Trivium, etc...) from Audiohammer Studios. Mark is another long time friend of the band and we're excited to hear what he can do with our sound on record.

Guitarist Buz McGrath added this irrelevant comment about working with Mark, "Mark Lewis mixed me a drink once and i woke up in a swamp covered in anti freeze."

As we said before, we're aiming at a mid to late June release for the album followed by massive World touring."
