New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ New Ocean Media) Love & Death, the new band led by former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, will release its debut album "Between Here & Lost" January 22nd via Tooth & Nail Records. Recorded in Nashville with producer Jasen Rauch (RED, Breaking Benjamin) and mixed by Paul Pavao & Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Slipknot), and Jim Monti (Korn), the CD consists of 11 tracks, ranging from songs about personal struggle and triumph ("Chemicals", "My Disaster", "
Paralyzed") to emotionally charged anthems ("Fading Away" "Watching The Bottom Fall") to a riff heavy rendition of Devo's 1980 hit "Whip It".
The album is available now for pre-order at the following location: https://www.merchdirect.com/LoveandDeath. All pre-orders include a free instant download of the song "The Abandoning".
Love & Death is comprised of Brian "Head" Welch, lead guitarist JR Bareis, bassist Michael Valentine, and drummer Dan Johnson.
Like the album title suggests, "Between Here & Lost" captures the honesty of light and darkness, beauty and tragedy, good and evil, delivered by a band with intense passion and commitment to the message of its music.
"This record was birthed from trials, tribulations, pain, suffering, anxiety, depression, and drama" states Welch. "However, we came out on top and the end result is a very real, raw & honest record. We are so stoked for people to hear it! From our opening song 'The Abandoning', to our cover of Devo's 'Whip it', to our collaboration with Mattie Montgomery from
For Today on 'I W8 4 U', It's an exciting piece of art and the listener will feel the different range of emotions with the lyrics & melodies of each song."

Love & Death formed when Welch decided to have open auditions on YouTube in 2009. "I picked the guys and then had a jam session in Phoenix" says Welch. "Over the last couple of years, there have been a few line up changes as we went through normal growing pains. The current band has been together and touring for a while now and they are a big part of the new music and the future of Love & Death."
Love & Death will be touring extensively in 2013 to support the effort.
