all five horizons

Just heard some exciting news about Zach De La Rocha and his new band, One Day As A Lion: 

ONE DAY AS A LION, the project featuring Zach De La Rocha (vocalist for RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE) and Jon Theodore (former drummer of THE MARS VOLTA) has inked a deal with Anti Records. The group’s eponymous debut EP is scheduled for release on July 22.

ONE DAY AS A LION’s sound is described in a press release as “a defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It’s a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask.

Describing the sound as a “defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare” is in no way pretentious, is it?  Hee!  In any case, I just had a gander at their MySpace page and as yet, no music is uploaded.  Their website just plays static, presumably to intrigue and build the excitement.  It’s working, I guess.  All this means is that I haven’t heard anything yet but I will keep you posted.  I will leave you with this final thought from the band:

One Day As A Lion is both a warning delivered and a promise kept.

Ok then.  I’ll consider myself warned and promised I guess.
