After The Burial in studio sessions

After The Burial have begun studio sessions on their fifth album – and it’s the first time they’ll work with an outside producer.

They’ve teamed up with Will Putney, known for production with Thy Art Is Murder, Stray From The Path, Northlane and others.

ATB say: “We’re really excited. We’ve never done anything like this before – but the vibe is good and we know Will has a great knowledge of what we’re going for as far as a sound.

“The songs came very naturally this time around, so recording live drums and guitars makes total sense. We can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

Putney adds: “The guys wrote some really cool songs, and it’s going to be fun to put my spin on them.”

Their last release was 2013’s Wolves Within, produced by guitarists Trent Hafdahl and Justin Lowe.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
