CENTURY launches e-card featuring three songs, tour dates, video trailer

Pennsylvania’s CENTURY has posted an online e-Card here (http://www.blackoceanalbum.com/), featuring three tracks from the band’s forthcoming effort, ‘Black Ocean,’ alongside biographical information, tour dates, and a trailer for the “Black Ocean” music video, which will see a debut on MTV2’s Headbangers Ball later this month. Fans can also spread the word about the e-Card at the above link. In the meantime, ‘Black Ocean’ will see an April 29 release on Prosthetic Records, and is the follow-up to 2006’s critically-acclaimed album ‘Faith and Failure’ which saw a release via Tribunal Records.

Mastered by Kim Rosen at West West Side Music in New York, a completed version of the title track from ‘Black Ocean’ and the album’s cover art are also available on CENTURY’s MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/century). Two years in the making, in conjunction with the release of ‘Black Ocean,’ CENTURY is launching a special album website (http://www.blackoceanalbum.com/) as well, featuring a fully-interactive, full-flash site will feature exclusive content, including hidden features and a bonus track only accessible by solving a code found in the album’s artwork. The website will be officially launched April 29 along with the album’s release.

Prosthetic Records

Century’s Black Ocean arrived in the mail the other day and I was excited to hear it. When the music started playing it was cool. It was very heavy and relentless on the ears. I thought “This is great”…and then the vocals hit. As any metal fan, I’m very picky when it comes to vocals and If I don’t like the vocals it can ruin the entire cd for me. This is one of those cases. I love the music but…

The drums are good, the guitars are great with the exception that there aren’t really any exceptional if any solos, but to me the vocals are a little too…well, screamy. When it comes to screams I like a good screamer but I can not seam to shake my dislike for Carson Slovak’s vocals. I thought this was going to kind of be like the first time I listened to Hail!Hornet. I hated the vocals there but after a second listen I really started to enjoy it.

Some of may like it, some may not. If a cd is garbage you know I will say so. This is just one of those cases where there is only one thing about it that I don’t like. You can check out Century on their Myspace and have a listen and read up on them at Prosthetic Records if your not familiar. The new CD Black Ocean comes out on April 29th.
