Fans of American metal act A SOUND OF THUNDER have exceeded the crowd-funding goal for the band’s new album in less than five days. The band announced details of its new album “The Lesser Key of Solomon” via the 30-day campaign on Friday, October 25, launching the project at 12:03pm EST with a $10,000 fund-raising goal. The goal was passed less than five days later at 9:26pm EST on Tuesday, October 29.
A SOUND OF THUNDER began recording its fourth album “The Lesser Key of Solomon” in July at Assembly Line Studios. Kevin ‘131’ Gutierrez (Raven, While Heaven Wept, Deceased) is once again handling production duties for the band. With the success of the crowd-funding campaign, the 10 track album is scheduled to be completed in late 2013 for a summer 2014 release.
In addition to recording costs, the crowd-funding campaign will also fund the production of extensive album artwork and a large-format book to accompany the album. The book will be 12″ x 12″ and will feature original paintings by artist Dušan Marković for each of the 10 songs, lyrics, photos, comments from the band members, and more. The book will be available in both paperback and deluxe hardcover slipcase editions. Both versions of the book, as well as the album and an array of additional items can be pre-ordered via the crowd-funding campaign. The campaign runs until November 25th on the popular crowd-funding site Kickstarter and can be found here.
A SOUND OF THUNDER is embarking on an east coast US tour in November to promote its latest album “Time’s Arrow”.
“Time’s Arrow” was released on June 4, 2013 via the band’s own labelMad Neptune Records. The album was recorded at Assembly Line Studios and produced by Kevin ‘131’ Gutierrez.
