After over two incredibly action/drama/injury/tour-soaked years of constant insanity, http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=155139#" rel="nofollow">North Carolina sludge crusaders WEEDEATER have completed their long-delayed, yet more anticipated-than-ever, fourth full-length release. The intoxicating ten-track brutalizer, dubbed "Jason... The Dragon", has been scheduled for worldwide release on March 15 viaSouthern Lord Recordings.
The CD is now available for streaming in its entirety on the band's http://www.myspace.com/weedeater" rel="nofollow - MySpace page . (Note: The stream will only be available until March 15.)
After over a year of literally crippling injuries to all three of WEEDEATER's members hitting the headlines, including infamous classics like "Dixie Daveblew off part of his foot with a shotgun," or "Keko tore his meniscus this week," and "Shep broke his goddamn pinkie on tour" or even "Dixie nearly died in his ninja-scuba assassin Halloween costume" and more, the band still forged on through these blows for multiple tours � several regional and national headlining tours, as well as supporting DOWN and theMELVINS � to finally complete this record. Although delayed by eight months, the haggard trio infiltrated Steve Albini's Electrical Audio Studio in http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=155139#" rel="nofollow">Chicago this past September to pound out "Jason... The Dragon".
As with their Southern Lord debut, "God Luck And Good Speed", the"Jason..." album was mastered by the legendary John Golden at Golden Studios in http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=155139#" rel="nofollow">southern California , unearthing the true grit that this band dumps forth. With no argument to be had, "Jason..." is by farWEEDEATER's most varied and organic recording to date, taking their caustic, chest-collapsing, resin-coated ultrasludge to new otherworldly new realms of delirium just by taking it all closer to home, stripping their tonal onslaught down to acoustic bass at times, perfectly infusing a bit of banjo and piano, and even utilizing some new vocal tactics. Diehards fear not; this IS still WEEDEATER. It's just WEEDEATER at their finest hour... yet.
