Release Notes:
16Volt have returned with their latest opus! FullBlackHabit
continues along the lines of what theyÆve done best and what has
earned them much attention from press and media alike: raw
guitars, heavy beats, solid electronics, and meaningful lyrics.
The album mirrors the struggles that 16VoltÆs mastermind Eric
Powell has faced throughout his career as a band.
The bandÆs history is one gigantic rollercoaster ride through the
perils of the music industry. From their humble beginnings in the
early 90Æs on Re-Constriction Records (a subsidiary of Cargo
Records), the band released three albums which catapulted them
into the spotlight with countless press features in Alternative
Press, Kerrang!, and many more. Together with the media attention,
the band garnered numerous radio spots throughout the world
including the coveted #1 and #2 positions on Rolling StoneÆs
alternative chart, and spent hundreds of days on the road in a
custom van touring relentlessly. It all paid off in the end when
16Volt inked a deal with Slipdisc/Mercury/Polygram for their
fourth album. Just when it seemed all was going flawlessly,
Mercury/Polygram was bought by SeagramÆs and all promotion for the
album was dropped. After an intense two years, the band managed to
get the rights back and re-release it on their own. The release
was barely back on the shelves when Sony contacted the band to do
the soundtrack to the video game ôPrimal.ö To celebrate their
return, 16Volt hit the road with KMFDM in 2002. Upon returning
they were approached by Capital Records, who they inked a deal
with. Over 11 months of demoing new tracks to the label, the band
parted ways due to artistic differences. Never giving up, the band
kept plugging away on new tracks and shopped them to various
labels. Finally in the fall of 2006, 16Volt settled into their new
home at Metropolis Records, and in June of 2007 will release their
first album in nine years, FullBlackHabit. The album is a
reflection of their life as a band through the triumphs and
turmoils that they have been faced with in their 16 years of
existence. FullBlackHabit features many guest musicians including:
Paul Raven (Ministry, Prong, Killing Joke), Steve Pig (KMFDM),
Bildeaux (Necrofix, OHN), Kraig Tyler (Chemlab, Virus23,
Crazytown), Scott Robison (Drone), and Jason Bazinet (SMP), and
was mixed by Eric Powell (of 16Volt) himself and mastered by Ryan
Foster at Freq Mastering.
