Eight Bells Finish Recording New Album Legacy of Ruin
Eight Bells have completed the recording process for their next full-length. Their third, and reportedly titled Legacy of Ruin, it will see release in 2021 through Prophecy Productions, which puts the Portland, Oregon, outfit in the company of Alcest, Amber Asylum, Antimatter, and a whole league of badass groups and artists whose monikers start with other letters of the alphabet. By the time it arrives, the new Eight Bells will follow five years after the band’s prior outing, Landless (review here), which was issued by Profound Lore. And in case that’s not good enough company to keep, the new record — like the one preceding — was engineered by Billy Anderson. So there.
The band’s own Melynda Marie Jackson posted the following on thee social medias:
What a relief! Eight Bells has finished the recording and mixing of our 3rd album for release on Prophecy Productions and we are excited to share it. I should say finished but still needs mastering.
I know I have been saying “It’s coming It’s coming” for a couple of years now and that was not a lie — but timing was not with us. We managed to complete production after postponing tracking twice; the most recent postponement related to a GLOBAL FUCKING PANDEMIC. Large amounts of Oregon and California burned bringing dangerous air and electricity outages affecting both vocal tracking and mixing.
I won’t even go into the general feeling of doom….but good things happen too and I am so crazy thankful to my friend Billy Anderson for the patience, support, help, production, tracking, mixing, joking, and silliness throughout the process. It helps to laugh especially when times are as bleak as they are right now.
Also thanks very much to my amazing bandmates Matt Solis and Brian Burke for their tenacity in the face of it all- could not have been done without you. Then there’s also contributions from Melynda Marie Amann and Andrea Morgan to enjoy!…
