Shattered Sun was the first band to be signed to Breaking Bands Management which is the directed and founded by the powerhouse team of Adrenaline PR CEO Maria Ferrero, former MegaForce Records and Crazed Management owners Jon and Marsha Zazula, and Testament vocalist and co-manager Chuck Billy. We recently had the opportunity to talk with vocalist, Marcos Leal and are pleased to bring that interview to you here:
Shattered Sun is set to perform with rock legends, Skid Row next week May 17th at the Whisky a GoGo on the Sunset Strip. For more show details, please visit http://www.whiskyagogo.com/site/event/skid-row/. That will be a great show not to miss and the following week, they set off to perform at the River City Rock Fest on May 24th in San Antonio. Check out their new song, Hope Within Hatred which is off their upcoming album:
Mark explains about the song, “When I wrote this song it seemed like my life was in a downward spiral. I was holding on to a lot of negativity and people who were truly bad for my future,” states vocalist Marcos Leal. “For some reason I could never see past this and always held on and avoided change. ‘Hope Within Hatred’ is the flip side of that, about having your own voice, embracing change and facing the ugly truth about things.”
The album is due out later this year and is produced by Robert Beltran of Precision Studio, LLC in Corpus Christi, TX. In addition to production from Robert, SHATTERED SUN also credits Spineshank guitarist Mike Sarkisyan with assisting with pre-production duties and general consultation. The band greatly appreciates the work put in by both Mike Sarkisyan and Robert Beltran. “We’ve been working with Rob Beltran for a while now and he’s definitely become more than just our producer. To us, he’s family and at times feels like a seventh member of the band. In addition, we’ve learned a lot from Mike Sarkisyan through our early touring days and keep in contact with him still to this day,” adds Marcos.
