Bride will be in the recording studio working on a new project starting
in late April. Without a major label to finance the project, we must
come up with the money on our own. An idea we would like to pursue is
a Fan Financed Album. What this means is that you will help us finance
our new project.
This is how it will work:
- Donate $20 or more to Bride to help finance the new project and we
will get you a signed copy of the release when it becomes available.
- We will also email you links to places where we will post
pre-production "rough" recordings of the songs so you can listen to the
project as it is happening. This will also allow you to send us email comments
and participate in the production of the next Bride release.
- The project will not be completed and pressed (in CDs) until sometime in late
June or early July. We're sorry for this delay, but that is how long the
process takes.
If you choose to help us, you should receive your copy in this time frame,
but we will keep you posted via the Web site as to the progress we are making.
It is a pretty simple process. Basically, you are buying your CD in
advance, which will help us produce a better product.
We accept Paypal or US money orders.

Troy and Dale have been writing songs for the past few months together.
This upcoming project may very well be Bride's last endeavor. Back in 1985
when Bride first was formed Dale and Troy never imagined that the band would
still be viable after over twenty years of music making. Bride has had
incredible opportunities to write record and release songs world wide while
also touring to support every release. This 2009 project is a no hold barred
when it comes to creativity and music making. This labor of love should take
the listener beyond any imaginative work Bride has ever done in the past and
challenge the audio senses.
It is important concerning this work tentatively titled "Tsar Bomba" to
capture the listener and to unpredictably throw them into the vat of
mechanosensation.
Tsar Bomba simply means Mother Of All Bombs and was the largest most
powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It is important for this work to
leave such an impact. Even though some would argue that a Christian CD
should have nothing to do with such destruction, it is our belief that in
this day and time a certain amount of destruction leads way to new growth
and a fresh start.
Back with the Thompson brothers is drummer Jerry McBroom. It is only fitting
that the most popular drummer in Bride's history rejoins them for the
finale. G.W. Watts notoriously known for his Hong Kong sessions will be
contributing bass guitar. Also returning will be the guitar virtuoso Steve
Osborne.
One of the most exciting aspects to the new work is the studio master Tim
Bushong. Tim will be exercising all of his recording talents to the project.
Expect to hear raw rock, heavy metal, and all of the surprises that make you
smile when you hear a Bride release.
