WE GOT THIS FAR already has received acclaim with its debut 12" vinyl single, "Bludgeon" (2008) and live appearances with acts like Dismantled, Deathline International, Dawn Of Ashes, Mankind Is Obsolete and others. August 21st, 2009 will see their official debut album „Blunt Force Volume“. Recorded and produced by the band at Fang Studios in San Mateo, 453 in San Jose and Littlegrey II in San Francisco and mastered by Tom Baker (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Orgy, Static X), the album offers a thrilling menu between juicy riffs and crunchy synths, at times heavy hitting and merciless, at times melancholic and thoughful, accompanied by Ollie's distinctive vocals. WE GOT THIS FAR were founded in 2007 by Ollie Marsh and Jason Silva after meeting in 2006 while being live musicians for San Francisco based group Stormdrain. They eventually found out they vibed with each other musically and on a personal basis and started working on songs.
Not only musically the band offers a rollercoaster of emotions - the lyrics are inspired by the end of love. Jason Silva comments: „I hated the expiriences that inspired these songs, no one should go through them ... but we all do, it's human, it's painful, and it's with us all. There was so much risk in building Blunt Force Volume’, it's so expressionally nude that it can be almost too personal ... too revealing. But I'm proud of that, because it is "real", proud to reach into the emotional flesh and pour everything meaningful onto a table and let it take shape song by song, lyric by lyric.“
"Blunt Force Volume" will be released as digipak version and contain nine tracks plus a remix by Gary Zon (Dismantled). The album will also be available as digital release through iTunes and various online outlets.
