Album:

The fifth album by the American post-grunge / hard rock band Shaman's Harvest and their first for Mascot Records.Few bands have the strength to overcome the challenges, the Shaman's Harvest were asked on their impressive road to success. The quartet of Missouri gave their vision not even then, as a singer Nathan Hunt during the recordings of "Smokin 'Hearts & Broken Guns" was diagnosed with cancer. The long-time companion look more optimistic about the future and no doubt is now finally the fate on their side."Smokin 'Hearts & Broken Guns" is not only purely different in his feelings and emotions, but also from song to song. Sometimes they act cinematic, sometimes as a reminder flashback, the next moment they reflect the simple experiences of life resist. After the end of the recordings was clear that the band had done an album without the typical rock temple.The simple, AC / DC-heavy groove of "Dangerous" rests gently against the side of the pounding Southern rhythm of "Blood Inf The Water". "Here It Comes" Hunt describes as a "greasy jam session with sexy harmonies and powerful riffs about a poor bastard who has fallen in love with a prostitute." »Country As Fuck", however, is an ardent Blue song. "It's a stupid Midwestern text, the only basically says, 'If you do not fucking country are, then fuck you!'"

Album:

Shaman's Harvest and Mascot Records have announced the global release of "Red Hands Black Deeds" on July 28. Produced by Keith Armstrong, the new album premeditatively took on a more organic approach, utilizing vintage gear. Singer Nathan Hunt offers: "We used analog effect pedals and vintage amps. It was kind of like trying to find the melting point between Midwest and L.A. It still has the Shaman's Harvest Midwest vibe to it, but it definitely has organic L.A. written all over it." Guitarist Josh Hamler adds: "Goat toes are the new cowbells. We'd tell Keith we wanted a certain sound, and he'd pull stuff out that we never thought of, like the goat toes we used on 'Blood Trophies' and 'A Longer View' or sandpaper on 'Scavengers'." The band - singer Nathan Hunt, bassist Matt Fisher, rhythm guitarist Josh Hamler, lead guitarist Derrick Shipp and drummer Adam Zemanek - simply didn't want to use anything digital, and when a certain effect was needed, they approached the process creatively, coming up with solutions to reach a realized vision. As Hamler shares: "We had been so stuck in our way of writing and recording, but Keith had a different, more interesting approach to coming up with that sound. He really helped us find a fresh new creative path.""Red Hands Black Deeds" has a darker, visceral and more layered sound than past repertoire offered on the band's first five studio albums. The album ranges from the ominous, haunting vibes of the title track prelude, "A Longer View", "The Devil In Our Wake" and "Scavengers" - which could fit just as easily on a horror film soundtrack as it does on this rock band's album - to quieter, more vulnerable moments as heard on "Tusk And Bone" and "Long Way Home". Lyrically, the band also ventured into new territory, taking on the current political, social and economic struggles the USA is facing as a nation under the new administration. "'Red Hands Black Deeds' touches upon the darker nature inside all of us", says Hunt. "The whole record has a contrast and push and pull tension - a juxtaposition of good and bad or questioning what is right and wrong. The record ended up having a concept, though we weren't intending it to", says Hunt.The writing of the record began in November 2016 at the time of the US presidential election, so it's no wonder there are social and political undertones to many of the songs. "The tension in the record kind of speaks for itself. There's a dark anxiety, tension-filled feeling that reflects what's going on in the world", says Hamler. Take for instance "The Broken Ones", which touches on immigration issues, as well as anyone who feels disenfranchised, such as Hunt's own Native American ancestors. "My father's family is part of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, which is made of a lot of different races and regions, and because of that they don't get all of the benefits that federally recognized tribes have. The song is a cynical look at society today", says Hunt, whose heritage inspired the band's name.Hunt overcame throat cancer in 2014, which could've derailed the band, but didn't. And despite other trials and tribulations every band goes through, the band has persevered. Born in Jefferson City, Missouri, Shaman's Harvest released their first album, "Last Call For Goose Creek" in 1999, followed by "Synergy" (2002) and "March Of The Bastards" (2006) before having their breakthrough moment with 2009's "Shine". "Shine" featured the stand-out track "Dragonfly," which hit #9 on Billboard's Heritage Rock chart and #15 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It was also featured on the soundtrack to the major motion picture, "Legendary", and the video has garnered more than 4.5 million YouTube views. The band followed that success with their Mascot Records debut, "Smokin' Hearts & Broken Guns" in 2014, which has garnered more than 31 million streams. The album's "In Chains" peaked at #11 on the Media Base chart after a run of 22 weeks at Active Rock radio. It also spent over four months in the Top 10 of iTunes Metal Songs Chart. The song's video has more than 3 million views on YouTube, while the band has a cumulative 8 million YouTube views.Shaman's Harvest has had equal success on the touring front. They've toured or shared the stage with major artists like AC/DC, Alice In Chains, Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Nickelback, Three Doors Down, In This Moment, Daughtry, Cheap Trick, Theory Of A Deadman, Hinder a.o. and played major festivals like Rocklahoma, Rock on the Range, Rock Fest, KRockathon, Rockin' The Rivers, Texas Mutiny, Rock Carnival 2016, High Elevation Rock Festival and Midwest Rock Fest.The key to the band's longevity is threefold. First: staying in Missouri, which gives the band a Midwestern authenticity. "Our music wouldn't be what it is if we weren't from a hillbilly kind of a state", notes Fisher. Second: knowing the gift of distance and being open to change. "It's been 21 years for us", Fisher continues, "so it's a brotherhood and there are fights, but I think over all it's just keeping some distance in between tours when we need it." And third: "Growing musically as a band each time. I think this record, with how differently we approached it and how we expanded our sonic palette, is a good step toward a new future for us", adds Fisher.

Album:

"This was the hardest record we've ever made, on every level," says Nathan Hunt, referring to Shaman's Harvest's seventh LP.The storyline seems obvious: The Missouri hard-rockers assembled this project during a global pandemic that debilitated the entire music industry. "Hard" has kinda been universal lately. But the road to Rebelator was even rockier than the band expected: natural disasters, logistical nightmares, an extreme case of collective writer's block.Luckily, they had time on their side. After a couple grueling years of touring behind their last album, 2017's Red Hands Black Deeds, Shaman's Harvest were creatively and personally drained.So founding members Hunt and Hamler, along with guitarist Derrick Shipp and drummer Adam Zemanek - hit the reset button hard, clearing out six months for demo construction at their Jefferson City rehearsal space. This meticulousness marked a distinct change from their usual methodology - instead of slapping together outlines before entering the studio, they treated their first takes with a new level of sensitivity, fleshing out the pieces until they knew them intimately.This new track sets the tone for what’s to come. A new album that unequivocally captures a band looking forward, not repeating their creative past.
