Chastain re-works old tracks to sound better

The music scene is a creative place. While things are troubled these days with the ongoing pandemic musicians resist to give up. Instead they constantly work on new ways to push on forwards. 

Chastain re-worked some classic tracks for 1321.

In these case Chastain decided to breathe new life into some older cuts. The new effort 1321 takes tracks from each of the 5 albums the band released since 2013 with Leather Leone and presents them with different arrangements. 

Guitarist and Producer David T. Chastain explains "1321 is the album we would have released if we only could have released one album during the Leather Second Generation Era. The tracks now are little more listener friendly and more accessible for the first time "Chastain" metal fan who may have never experienced the music before. For long time Chastain fans I believe they will like the new arrangements." 

David adds, "We chose the tracks that we thought I could make the biggest arrangement changes from the originals. When listening to the 5 albums on their own certain tracks I could just hear a new arrangement that I thought would work. Tracks I could make stronger... or at least a new take on the song. 

Also included on 1321 is the never before released track "The First Attack." That track was originally recorded during the "Surrender To No One" sessions but to due to time constraints was not inicluded on the original release. 

 

This track "Evil awaits us" sounds far more straight forwards then I've heard the band before. The good thing is that the music quickly steps into the listeners ears but without losing the soul. All the dedicated detail work on the voice and the expression that comes with it keeps intact.
