Facecage

[Box Hoy]

This is an awesome metal band that I discovered while I was at a Slipknot fan site. The band's name is Facecage and Slipknot frontman: Corey Taylor, is going to be producing the next album.
Here's what he has to say about the band.
[quote=facecage.net]STONE SOUR/SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor is currently hard at work with Midwestern Based FACECAGE on their next independent release.

FACECAGE is and independent Midwestern U.S. metal band. Formed in 2001,
FACECAGE has grown into a powerhouse live act and an independent D.I.Y.
success story.

Taylor describes the band as "...the heaviness of Sepultura, the groove
of Sabbath, the dark melodies of the Midwest and the drive of one
hundred bands from either coast." Said Taylor of the band: "I've seen
them work very hard, go through various changes, pay their dues and
become a great band over the years. I'm very proud of them. Success
doesn't come without sweat".

When asked about the recording process so far, Taylor remarked "very
VERY well.", and, "I see them breaking out further and hitting the
national circuit. If they can stay as competitive, poignant and focused
as they have in the past, they have a chance of making it."

Last summer, Taylor was approached by longtime friend and collaborator;
Denny Harvey, about the possibility of him producing the next album.
Harvey, and his (515) Management Group have managed the band for the
last two years.

Said Harvey: "Corey has been a friend and confidant to FACECAGE for some
time and he was ecstatic to be a part of this. He has watched FACECAGE
go from playing clubs and paying their dues to becoming a Midwestern
success story. This is really the next step for the band and a chance
for them to work together, something Corey has been interested in for
awhile now."

FACECAGE has independently released two albums so far: "FACECAGE" (2001)
AND "II" (2004).

When asked about the future of FACECAGE, Taylor had some stern advice
for those who would stand in the band's way: "Whoever signs them better
be ready to keep up, because if they can't they've wasted a great band's
opportunity. So don't waste our time if you're not ready for history"[/quote]

The band's next release, III, is going to be released some time in the summer of 06'.
