Within The Ruins have entered the studio to begin recording their new album for a release later this year. Recording sessions will take place at the band’s own studio with their guitarist Joe Cocchi overseeing the production duties. Vocal production for the album however will be handled by Jim Fogarty (Killswitch Engage, The Devil Wears Prada) at Zing Studios in Westfield, MA. Cocchi said of the as-yet unnamed effort:

“The writing process was a bit different for this album. We took a step back and kind of reviewed some of our older material. Typically we’d rush and blast out a group of songs and then hit the studio. At the time it felt right. And It had a more organic feel. Now because of a combination of maturity and honestly just feeling sick of the same old formula, we really focused on creating something different sounding.”

“We went back to a more organic style of writing and production. I personally was finally able to abandon a lot of my writing habits or ‘rules,’ if you will. No more ‘oh, that part doesn’t really sound like us, have to change that,’ type of bullshit. Doing that created a fresher sound. This is the most raw and extreme sounding material we’ve ever written.
