The video for the song « Meltdown » from LOVE & DEATH, the band led
by KORN guitarist Brian « Head » Welch, can be seen below.
LOVE & DEATH‘s debut album, « Between Here & Lost », will be re-released on September
24 as a « deluxe » edition containing a brand new track, « Empty », along with remixes of the songs « The Abandoning » and « Meltdown » by the CD’s producer, Jasen Rauch (RED, BREAKING BENJAMIN).
« Between Here & Lost » sold around 4,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 95 on The
Billboard 200 chart. The CD was originally issued on January 22 via Tooth & Nail Records.
Recorded in Nashville with Rauch and mixed by Paul Pavao, Ben Grosse (MARILYN MANSON, DISTURBED)
and Jim Monti (KORN), « Between Here &
Lost » consists of 11 tracks, ranging from songs about personal struggle and triumph (« Chemicals », « My Disaster », « Paralyzed ») to emotionally charged anthems (« Fading Away », « Watching The Bottom Fall ») to a riff-heavy rendition of DEVO‘s 1980 hit « Whip It ».
LOVE AND DEATH is comprised of Welch, lead guitarist JR Bareis, bassist Michael Valentine, and drummer Dan
Johnson.
Like the album title suggests, « Between Here & Lost » captures the honesty of light and darkness, beauty and tragedy, good and evil,
delivered by a band with intense passion and commitment to the message of its music.
« This record was birthed from trials, tribulations, pain, suffering, anxiety, depression, and drama, » stated Welch. « However, we came out on
top and the end result is a very real, raw and honest record. We are so stoked for people to hear it! From our opening song, ‘The
Abandoning’, to our cover ofDEVO‘s ‘Whip it’, to our collaboration
with Mattie Montgomery from FOR TODAY on ‘I W8 4 U’, It’s an exciting piece of art and the listener will feel the different range of emotions with the lyrics and melodies of each song. »
LOVE AND DEATH formed when Welch decided to have open auditions
on YouTube in 2009. « I picked the guys and then had a jam session in Phoenix, » says Welch. « Over the last couple of years, there have been a few lineup changes as we went through normal growing pains. The current band has been together and
touring for a while now and they are a big part of the new music and the future of LOVE AND DEATH. »
