Los Angeles based hardcore band, Strife, will be heading down to Brazil this week to start recording a brand new full length record.

They have enlisted long time friend, Iggor Cavalera (Sepultura / Cavalera Conspiracy) to play drums on the album. The album is being produced by Terror’s Nick Jett (Take Offense, Lionheart).

The Album will be recorded at Mix Nova Studios in Brazil, and finished at Blood Tracks Studio and Sunset Lodge in Los Angeles. Producer Matt Hyde (Hatebreed/Slayer) will be handling the mastering of the release.

Guitarist, Andrew Kline, said

“This album is going to be our best release yet… We have been working on preproduction tracks for the last few months, and the songs are amazing… This record is more along the lines of “In This Defiance”, but with a harder and a little more modern edge… Plus Iggor’s drumming is really going to take everything to the next level.”

A final release date, label, cover art and additional information will be revealed in the near future. And yes, Rick Rodney does indeed have a beard these days.
