40 Watt Sun: The Inside Room – new album

Featuring five original tunes, 40 WATT SUN's debut album, ‘The Inside Room’, came out in North America on July 19th, 2011 via Metal Blade Records; Cyclone Empire is the label to turn to for the record if stationed in Europe. The new music project of singer, guitarist and songwriter Patrick Walker, best known as vocalist and guitarist for doom metal band WARNING, features drummer & percussionist Christian Leitch, (guitarist and founder of London-based band THE RIVER), and bass player William Spong. ‘The Inside Room’ was recorded over three days and nights at The Library Studio in London, produced entirely by the band and engineered and mixed by bassist William Spong. Below you’ll find 40 WATT SUN's new songs ‘Carry Me Home’ - and its acoustic version – and ‘Between Times’. Head over to Brooklyn Vegan for the third tune, ‘This Alone’. And since you just won’t be able to continue on without hearing the two remaining songs, buy ‘The Inside Room’ here (Metal Blade) and here (Cyclone Empire).

“The debut album by 40 WATT SUN,” writes Natalie Zed for About.com, “is extraordinary. In a year already rich in excellent releases, ‘The Inside Room’ shines much brighter than a 40-watt bulb. With all the emotiveness needed to cut a listener to the quick, and none of the drag that often mires the subgenre in muck, this album is nothing short of a doom metal triumph.” Read the rest of her review here.
