Rear Naked Choke
Rear Naked Choke
The self titled album, Rear Naked Choke, is the bands first full length release. It was recorded and produced by CJ Pierce of the group Drowning Pool. The tracking for the album took place over the course of about 18 months starting in mid 2015. The length of time for the recording was mostly due to working with CJs busy schedule commitments, but the end results were worth the time spent on it. The 10 tracks (plus 5 bonus tracks) that comprise the album reflect the varied styles and influences that comprise the Rear Naked Choke sound. Youll find heavy hitting metal in songs like Nothing To Me and I Will Rise, some southern swing in songs like Suicide Betsy, Red, White & Texas, SWAP and A Toast To Dime as well and some emotionally fueled power with Mikes Song, WarDrum and BetterMan. Youll also find a high energy version of the song Shine (originally by Collective Soul). The album was recorded, produced and Mixed by CJ Pierce at his Ravens Nest Studio. Mastering was done by Ari M, whos worked with Otep and many more.
