New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ ABC PR) Egypt Central's highly anticipated new album White Rabbit is out today on Fat Lady Music/ILG. The first single, title track 'White Rabbit,' is making its way up the Active Rock
Radio chart, currently sitting at No 19 and rising.
The music video for "White Rabbit" premieres today at Ultimate Guitar. Watch it here:
https://www.ultimate-guitar.tv/misc/egypt_central_-_white_rabbit.html. The video was recently shot in Nashville with director
Mason Dixon (Framing Hanley, Tantric), and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video can be seen on Noisecreep.com here: https://www.noisecreep.com/2011/04/15/egypt-central-white-rabbit-video/
Produced by Skid Mills (Saving Abel, 12 Stones), White Rabbit is the follow-up to 2008's self-titled debut, which reached No 8 on the Billboard "Heatseekers" chart. The 12-song set features heavy riffs, lyrics from the soul and strong melodic hooks. Threaded throughout this collection of songs is a story of consequences that occur when one accepts or declines the invitation from the fictionalized character of the "White Rabbit." A comic strip created by bassist Joey
Chicago depicts the story in more detail and can be found in the CD booklet.
EGYPT CENTRAL has been criss-crossing the U.S for the past few months, including a recent stop at Rock On The Range in Columbus, OH where over 6,000 screaming fans packed into the Jagermeister stage to hear an explosive set of new tracks, as well as their hits "You Make Me Sick," "Taking You Down" and "Over And Under." They're now gearing up for a round of headlining shows starting June 1 in Augusta, GA. Check them out at any of the following stops (with more dates to be added throughout the summer):
EGYPT CENTRAL is John Falls (vocals), Joey
Chicago (bass),
Blake Allison (drums) and Jeff
James (guitar).
Press Quotes:
"...the album doesn't have any letdowns. Fans already won over by Egypt Central's previous record will recognize the band's original sound here, and new listeners will be taken a wild ride to a strange, dark wonderland and back. Follow the White Rabbit."
-- Revolver
"Egypt Central have managed to take the best qualities of turn-of-the-century nu-metal, update them for the modern world and add a dark melodic sense to create a sound that's sinisterly catchy." - Guitar World
"...an intelligent, thought-provoking, well-written album that is already started to make an impact with both fans and critics alike. White Rabbit should bring a more-than-deserved jump-start to Egypt Central's career and position the band for continued success."
- Creative Loafing
"This is the ever-elusive perfect assembly of kick ass rock 'n' roll...this album is a virtual cornucopia of bonafide hits. Already the leading candidate for my album of the year, this is a MUST HAVE. VERY, VERY HIGHLY recommended." 10 out of 10 rating."
- Away-Team.com
"From clean guitar melodies over power chords, to acoustic guitar backups set nicely under the mix, the soundscape, as a whole, is simply powerful in a way that goes beyond what a good riff can achieve by itself...White Rabbit may very well be their ticket to the big time." - Blogrockingbeat.com
