July 12, 2010 - Hemoptysis Enter Studio With Producer Ryan Greene -

Award winning metal band, Hemoptysis, have entered the studio to record their full length debut album with famed producer, Ryan Greene.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hollywood, CA – July 12, 2010 – 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

March 9, 2010 - Hemoptysis Release Official 'Shadow of Death' Music Video -

Phoenix, AZ – March 9, 2010 – As if the sonic barrage from the juggernaut known as Hemoptysis wasn’t enough to pound you into submission, enter Shadow of Death – the video! 

This marks the band's debut full production music video, released in time to promote their first ever SXSW Music Festival Showcase (9:30PM March 19, 2010) at Austin's SOHO Lounge. 

Filmed and produced by the Phoenix-based Big Shot Studios, the shoot took place in an abandoned school on the Gila River Indian Reservation, Southeast of Phoenix. Co-production credits go to Desert Core Management and Hemoptysis. It also features guitarist, Chris Cannella of Autumn’s End and N17. 

Written by front man Masaki Murashita, the song deals with senseless wars in which citizens are forced to fight or die for. The video portrays these citizens as prisoners of war, subjected to the bombardment of constant media coverage. It begs to ask when will this end? 

Originally recorded and released on the Hemoptysis debut EP, “Who Needs A Shepherd?,” Shadow of Death was re-recorded/produced by Ryan Greene (Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick), mastered by George Marino (Sterling Sound), then released as a single. 

PureGrainAudio.com
have been kind enough to host the video on their website. With 30,000+ monthly visitors, they are committed to continuously offer new, exciting, and unique music content.

You may also view the Shadow of Death video on the official Hemoptysis YouTube Channel, as well as the band’s MySpace Profile.
