Although they didn’t win the No Need For A Label contest, they were definitely my pick. At least they didn’t lose to a shitty band. Arizona’s Hemoptysis have been on a fast-track to fame with their debut Ep, Who Needs A Shepard and now are tracking the drums for their first full length studio album with famed producer Ryan Greene. Greene has worked with the likes of legendary metal bands/artists such as Alice Cooper, Megadeth and Mr. Big. Here is the presser.

Hollywood, CA – July 12, 2010 – Hemoptysis, two time L.A./Phoenix Music
Awards ‘Metal Band of the Year’, have entered Validus Recording Studio
in Hollywood, California to begin work on their full length debut album.
This as of yet untitled CD is the follow up to the band’s 2008 EP, ‘Who
Needs A Shepherd?’. The release date for the album is TBA.

The new CD will be produced and engineered by veteran producer, Ryan
Greene, who has worked with Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Mr Big, and many
others. Slated to feature 10 new songs, it will also include a newly
recorded version of “Shadow of Death.” This song originally appeared on
the EP, but was re-recorded/produced by Ryan Greene, mastered by George
Marino (Sterling Sound), and released as a single. “Shadow of Death” was
also chosen for the band’s debut full production music video.

CD cover art for the new album will be provided courtesy of Evil Dave, a
tattoo artist from Incision Tattoo in Glendale, Arizona who has done
work for former Metal Blade artists, Vehemence, as well as others. Evil
Dave was the artist who created the Hemoptysis mascot, Vetis, the
creature featured on the cover of ‘Who Needs A Shepherd?’. The band held
a ‘Name The Beast’ contest and Vetis (Tempter of the Holy or Demon of
Corruption) was chosen.

Hemoptysis will be filming the recording sessions to keep fans up to
date on the album’s progress. Videos will be posted on the band’s
Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/hemoptysis), Myspace
(http://www.myspace.com/hemoptysismetal), and Youtube
