POWERMAN 5000 Has Recorded Ten Songs For Upcoming Album
KNAC.COM's Krishta Abruzzini conducted an interview with POWERMAN 5000 frontman Spider One during the band's recent "Set To Stun" North American co-headlining tour with ORGY. You can now watch the chat below.
Speaking about POWERMAN 5000's plans for the coming months, Spider One said: "We go back home after this [tour] and finish our record. We've got most of it done — about ten or so songs tracked. And so go home and make sure they're all good, and make a few more, and then put a record out this year, and do more of this. I mean, it's not that complicated — you write and record some songs, and then you play 'em live."
Asked which producer POWERMAN 5000 has been using on its recent recordings, Spider One said: "We've been working with different people. On this record, we are working with this guy Greg Johnson, who's actually a good friend of Kevin's, who's our tour manager. He introduced me to Greg, and it's been really cool."
He continued: "Like most bands, the way you make records has changed drastically over the years. You used to go in and hunker down for a month and a half in a two-thousand-dollars-a-day studio, and now it's, like, we've made the majority of this record in my house. You just roll in a Pro Tools rig, and you set up, and you can be in your pajamas, and make your record. I mean, some of the glamor of it may have gone away, but there's something about it that I actually maybe enjoy more — just being able to do it on your own time. So we create our own schedule, and that in turn can control the quality of the music a little bit more. You work on it, you live with it for a while, you work on it. Whereas before, it was, like, 'Here you go, guys. You've got four weeks.' That's it. It's either good or it's not."
POWERMAN 5000's latest album, "Builders Of The Future", sold around 4,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 63 on The Billboard 200 chart. Issued in May 2014, the CD was the first release through POWERMAN 5000's partnership with T-Boy Records, a co-venture with Universal Music Enterprises founded by veteran rock manager Andy Gould.
