Joey Jordison releases details on Scar The Martyr

Acclaimed Slipknot drummer and Murderdolls guitarist Joey Jordison has released details of his new band Scar The Martyr.

Moving into more post-punk and industrial influenced territory, Joey has co-written and performed drums, bass and rhythm guitar on the album. He has also drafted in former NIN and Marilyn Manson hand Chris Vrenna, vocalist Henry Derek Bonnr of Blood Promise and Lillitu, as well as guitarists Jed Simon of Strapping Young Lad and Kris Norris of Darkest Hour.

"With this project, I focused my efforts on writing for the better of the song,” says Jordison. “I wasn't worried about flash or persona...It's all about writing a good solid song. I'm writing music that people can grasp and hold on to...something that resonates. If you don't have that, then you have nothing."

The as-yet-untitled album is scheduled for an Autumn 2013 release via Roadrunner Records and was produced by Rhys Fulber [Fear Factory, Rob Zombie, Mindless Self Indulgence, Front Line Assembly]
