Here are the New Releases for the week of May 5th, 2009

Ben Harper & Relentless7 – ‘White Lies For Dark Times’
When Harper recruited Jason Mozersky for his album “Both Sides of the Gun”, Mozersky suggested his friends Jesse Ingalls and Jordan Richardson, then members of the Austin-cum-L.A. band Oliver Future. The resulting sessions yielded the track “Serve Your Soul,” and were the genesis of Relentless7. Their “White Lies for Dark Times” album was favorably previewed in Rolling Stone’s “Spring Music Preview: Inside 45 of the Year’s Biggest Albums” and the Austin Chronicle. As of April 16th, 2009, the still unreleased album was ranked as high as #183 overall on Amazon.com, and #5 in the blues category based on pre-orders.

Hatebreed – ‘For The Lions’
‘For the Lions’ is a cover album by American metalcore band Hatebreed. The album will be released on May 5, 2009 through Koch Records. The album consists of 18 cover songs from bands that had an influence on Hatebreed’s music. The album was originally set to be released in winter 2008, but the band wanted to record a few more tracks for the record, and so the release date was pushed back. Starting on March 31, Hatebreed will release a new single from For the Lions for purchase on iTunes every Tuesday until the album is released on May 5, 2009. The first single released was the cover of Black Flag’s “Thirsty and Miserable”. This single will be followed by Suicidal Tendencies’ “Suicidal Maniac”, Sick of It All’s “Shut Me Out”, Slayer’s “Ghosts of War”, and finally Metallica’s “Escape”. Hatebreed has also filmed a music video for their cover of “Ghosts of War”.
