Of Mice & Men will enter the studio in March with two and a half months scheduled for the writing/recording sessions for their next album. In addition, the band have launched the first episode of their 5-part documentary series “The Full Circle Story” over at their official website, Ofmiceandmenofficial.com. You’ll need to signup for their new fanclub The Ampersand to view the series, with a new part to be released each Monday for the next few weeks. Band vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley says of the Jon Stone directed feature:
“‘The Full Circle Story‘ offers the viewer an incredibly unique perspective—our perspective. The 5-part series takes the viewer on a wild international journey through our past few years, as seen through our eyes. It also showcases some of our favorite moments since the release of Restoring Force, complete with live footage from shows played around the world and interviews from the band. With the help of our friend Jon Stone, ‘The Full Circle Story’ captures what it’s like to be in Of Mice & Men, and we can’t wait to share that experience with our fans in a way we never have before.”
Frontman Austin Carlile added:
“It’s been an extreme past half year of broken ribs, head, hips, and tour dates. After initial surgeries, followed by more medical exams & tests, and physical therapy multiple times a week, the last few months have been a real hurdle for me mentally and physically. Now that we’ve reached the other side, I’m ready to get the relentless machine that is Of Mice & Men back on track. It will start in March with two and a half months in the studio recording our new album.
Then a UK / European festival run (taking in Slamdunk and Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park). Next up we will be opening for Slipknot & MM all summer long in America, playing various American rock radio festivals along the way, including Chicago Open Air Festival. We hope our new documentary series ‘The Full Circle Story’ will hold you over for now. We put a lot of time and energy into it and hope you enjoy watching part of our Artemis journey and just how it all came Full Circle. See you on the road. Tell everyone you know, Of Mice & Men is back.”
