The recording for In Time’s new LP is almost complete.
Due to variety of circumstances, namely scheduling, the recording process for the LP has been stretched out over the last 7 or 8 months, but it is now in its final stages.
Ed and the rest of the guys in the band have been kind enough to have me into the studio a couple of times in the last month, once with Jesse when he was in to record guest vocals on one of the LP tracks, and again today to lend a voice for gang vocals.
Over that time I have been lucky enough to hear about 95% of their new record and what I have heard has certainly exceeded my expectations.
Hopefully this LP helps to turn some heads when it drops, because Die Trying, what I believe to be the magnum opus of the record, is seriously one of the best hardcore songs I have heard in the past couple of years.
Aside from getting to hang out and get a first listen at the new songs, I have also learned the benefit in trying to sing “overtop of the pencil”, and that it somehow helps to keep a bottle of maple syrup handy when recording.
The as yet untitled record should be out on vinyl LP format early 2010.
The Truth Will Reveal Itself is now available through Revhq.com
It feels good to finally have this record readily available and accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
As inconsequential as it may seem, having a 7” available through Revhq.com has been a major goal of mine as soon as RAH decided to progress beyond writing a demo, so it is definitely rewarding to have been a part of record that has made its way onto Rev.
Below is what REV had to say about it.
RAH continue to prove the strength of the Toronto, Canada hardcore scene, bringing this debut 7″ featuring eight songs worth of somewhat mid-tempo, no-frills hardcore punk that never shorts on anger or moshability, for fans of Rival Mob and Outbreak.
A big thank you is in order to Greg and Mike at LABELED for helping to make this record happen.

After a few consecutive listens, its safe to say that this single definitely lives up to all of my expectations, and reiterates the notion that the inclusion of female guest vocals is always a good thing. Their new LP should be dropping early 2010, and I can only hope the rest of the record sounds this good.
You may also notice that this song is essentially their Soundwave teaser promo brought to life.

RAH is playing two shows in the GTA area.
Looking forward to hanging out with/making new friends.
…I was 23 and in Germany, halfway through a tour of backpacking through Europe.
I had just graduated with my 4 year honours degree, sure of the fact that I was finished with post secondary education for good. I was on top of the world.
Today, at 25, I have just moved back home into my parents house, anxiously counting down the next 11 months until I get to head back to school for at least another 3 years.
Funny how things work out.
