Hemoptysis Enter Studio With Producer Ryan Greene

July 12, 2010 - PRLog -- Hemoptysis, two time L.A./Phoenix Music Awards ‘Metal Band of the Year’, have entered Validus Recording Studio in Hollywood, California to begin work on their full length debut album. This as of yet untitled CD is the follow up to the band’s 2008 EP, ‘Who Needs A Shepherd?’. The release date for the album is TBA.

The new CD will be produced and engineered by veteran producer, Ryan Greene, who has worked with Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Mr Big, and many others.  Slated to feature 10 new songs, it will also include a newly recorded version of “Shadow of Death.”  This song originally appeared on the EP, but was re-recorded/produced by Ryan Greene, mastered by George Marino (Sterling Sound), and released as a single. “Shadow of Death” was also chosen for the band’s debut full production music video.

CD cover art for the new album will be provided courtesy of Evil Dave, a tattoo artist from Incision Tattoo in Glendale, Arizona who has done work for former Metal Blade artists, Vehemence, as well as others.  Evil Dave was the artist who created the Hemoptysis mascot, Vetis, the creature featured on the cover of ‘Who Needs A Shepherd?’. The band held a ‘Name The Beast’ contest and Vetis (Tempter of the Holy or Demon of Corruption) was chosen.

Hemoptysis will be filming the recording sessions to keep fans up to date on the album’s progress. Videos will be posted on the band’s Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/hemoptysis), Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/hemoptysismetal), and Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/hemoptysismetal).
