Gypsyhawk's debut album, Patience and Perseverance, is slated for a July 6 release in the US. In a decided departure from his former band's blackened-thrash tendencies, former Skeletonwitch bassist Eric Harris takes up double duty, grabbing the microphone and bass guitar alongside bandmates Andrew Packer, Scotty Conant (guitars) and Joe Fabio (drums) with Gypsyhawk drawing inspirations from (and yielding comparisons to) Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Motorhead, and the like.
Recording wrapped in late April with producer/mixer Zack Ohren (All Shall Perish, Light This City, Heartsounds) in Oakland which also featured Gypsyhawk's first Bay Area show.
The band is now back in the Los Angeles area and wrapping up plans for a two week tour in July support of their debut. Dates for that trek, which will hit cities along the West Coast, will be available soon, as well as more information about artwork and the double LP configurations of 'Patience And Perseverance.'
