This Is Hell to release new EP

On July 28th, Think Fast! Records will be releasing a yet to be titled new 7"/digital download from Long Island's This Is Hell. Think Fast! Records co-owner Ryan O'Connor comments: "2009 has been a very busy year for the label, and I couldn't be more psyched to add a one-off for This Hell in the mix. They're really hard workers and have been close friends of mine for a number of years, so it makes perfect sense for us to team up for this release. Plus, I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed with Rick's endless knowledge of Professional Wrestling." This Is Hell guitarist Rick Jimenez says, "people can expect the same energy and intensity any This is Hell release has had, with some new elements. Some of the new stuff we've been working on is a bit more metal influenced than before...old Metallica & Anthrax, Cro-Mags & Leeway... almost crossover-ish stuff. Playing with and incorporating those new elements has been so much fun and has reinvigorated me on writing and releasing a new record, so we'll be putting some of that onto the EP. A surprise cover or two may surface as well." In early-June, the group will enter The Outpost with Jim Siegel (Blood For Blood) to begin recording.
