CLINT LOWERY RESPONDS TO OUR DARK NEW DAY ARTICLE

Apparently Dark new Day (and ex-Sevendust) guitarist Clint Lowery (or someone close to the Dark New Day camp) reads MetalSucks — MetalSucks commenter Julie has informed us that Clint posted a public response on the band’s official website to our Nov. 19 article which asked “Is Dark New Day getting the shaft from their record label?“:

Regarding: Is DARK nEW DAY getting the shaft from their label?

It’s coming.

Nothing’s been released from the label yet because it’s still getting mixed and mastered.
They’re not gonna release or announce anything until they’ve heard the record completed.

I understand how people can speculate and assume the worst but rest assure this record’s not being overlooked or taken lightly by the label ((WARNER BROS.)) or the members of this ((DARK nEW DAY)) band.

This time of the year is called THE FOURTH QUARTER, and it wouldn’t be a good idea to release anything until next year because the industry kind of shuts down through the holidays.

Updates and artwork, etc., will be coming soon.

Thanks,

DARK nEW DAY

Well damn. I think your decision to wait out the 4th quarter is a wise one. We’re just worried, brother… we’re Dark New Day supporters through and though (click here for proof) and sincerely hope that the label is not, in fact, giving you the cold shoulder. I do wonder about the part of our post you didn’t address, though; that of certain key label personnel originally associated with the band possibly being dismissed. Lord knows in these major label lay-off happy times, all bands need someone fighting for them on the inside. Can’t wait to hear the new stuff, Clint.
