FAR AND AWAY, the new project featuring three former members of the Raleigh, North Carolina-based progressive doom metal band CONFESSOR � guitarists Brian Shoaf and Chris Nolan, along with drummer Steve Shelton � will make its live debut on Friday, February 4, 2011 at DIVEbar in Raleigh. Also appearing on the bill is PARASITE DRAG, the "fuzzed-out desert rock" band featuring Cary Rowells (bass; also ex-CONFESSOR) and Marcus Williams (ex-AGE OF DESPAIR). FAR AND AWAY plans to enter the studio early next year to begin recording material for its debut album. In the meantime, you can hear demo versions of three songs � "Ed Won't Call Me Back", "Drifting" and "Fall" � using the TuneWidget below. FAR AND AWAY is: Brian Shoaf - Guitar Chris Nolan - Guitar Steve Shelton - Drums James Dale - Bass Ed Nicholson - Vocals Vocalist Scott Jeffreys left CONFESSOR in early 2009 "due to job demands," causing the band to go on "permanent hiatus." CONFESSOR's "Live in Norway" DVD was recorded in September 2005 in Oslo, Norway and was released in 2006 via Season of Mist. CONFESSOR released its latest full-length album, "Unraveled", in 2005 via Season of Mist. The CD was produced by Dick Hodgin (ex-CORROSION OF CONFORMITY producer) and is "a wonderful representation of the classic CONFESSOR twisted guitar riffing and complex drumming, meshed with some more straightforward parts and a toned down and very melodic vocal approach," according to Jeffreys. CONFESSOR split up in the early '90s after releasing one full-length album (1991's "Condemned") and EP (1992's "Confessor"), with the with the rhythm section going on to form FLY MACHINE. CONFESSOR reformed in 2002 following the death of guitarist Ivan Colon, who passed away due to cardiac complications. Thanks to blabbermouth/net for the report. -------------   |

I�m a great fan of this band. Too bad they seem to have broken up again ( I don�t believe in the hiatus thing). I�ll be checking out Far and Away though that�s for sure. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |
