(PR) Candlebox make their triumphant return to the modern music game this summer with their first new record in ten years. Into The Sun will be released July 22nd on Silent Majority Group in conjunction with Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group. The original Candlebox songwriting team of singer Kevin Martin and guitarist Peter Klett along with original drummer Scott Mercado, reunited shortly before the 2006 Rhino/Warner Brothers retrospective, Best Of Candlebox was released. Candlebox's 2008 lineup features 3 of the founding 4 members – Only bass player Bardi Martin has been replaced by Adam Kury. After being apart for more than 7 years, Martin and Klett discovered that the time and tide apart had nurtured enhanced chemistry and mutual personal evolution that has now manifested in a cache of new songs that leave their past works, for lack of a better phrase, far behind.
Into The Sun was produced by Ron Aniello (Barenaked Ladies, Lifehouse) engineered by Cliff Norrell (REM, Henry Rollins) & mixed by Norrell and Mike Shipley (Nickelback, Def Leppard). Kevin Martin (Vocals) and Peter Klett (Guitar) Scott Mercado (DRUMS) and Adam Kury (BASS) have come together to make a bold, eclectic mix of rhythms and textures that will make long-time Candlebox fans mouth's water and has the potential to vault this band back into the national spotlight. Remember, this is a band that's sold over Six Million albums in the US alone.
