The Autumn Offering have decided to self-title their forthcoming new album which is slated for an August 31st release date through Victory. The effort will be the groups first with newcomers Jesse Nunn (Scum Of The Earth) (guitars) and Carl Bensley (bass). Speaking on the effort, band frontman Matt McChesney offered the following:
“I always thought we were unfairly lumped in with the ‘metalcore’ bands. I always thought we did much more musically and were a bit more sophisticated than your typical good-cop/bad-cop band. It takes balls to admit this, but yeah, we wrote a few songs that were mistakes. We made a push, half heartedly, for the mainstream. Yet I feel like a few bad choices don’t taint two albums that I love dearly. There were a million reasons to make a record like this. Also, sensing the death of that genre of metal, it made no sense to make a record that resembled it. I think we came out of it all, integrity intact.”
