CKYBELIEVER's fourth album,
"Gabriel", was released in March through
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE frontman
Howard Jones's new imprint label
Cesspool Records via
Metal Blade. The CD features guest appearances by
Jones,
Joe Rico (
SACRIFICE),
CKY/
WORLD UNDER BLOOD guitarist/vocalist
Deron Miller and
Rocky Gray (
EVANESCENCE,
SOUL EMBRACED,
LIVING SACRIFICE).
Regarding the musical direction of the album,
Kurt Bachman told
Decibel magazine, "We think that fans will hear some of each record but the writing is a bit different. It's still
BELIEVER but we wanted to offer something new as we have in the past. Some people would like us to put out another
'Sanity Obscure' or
'Dimensions' but we didn't want to rehash the past. Those close to us have said that the new material sounds like a natural progression from
'Dimensions'. We wanted to have fun with this and get back to our emotional metal roots. Getting together to write and record was exciting. It's when the creativity and insanity was let loose."
