Norma Jean, ETID & Dead And Divine members form new band

Posted by AP on 23/10/15

Norma Jean vocalist Cory Brandan has teamed up with former Every Time I Die drummer Ryan ‘Legs’ Leger and former Dead And Divine guitarist Chris LeMasters in a new outfit christened Hundred Suns.


The band has apparently been in the making since 2013, with Brandan telling Revolvermag.com:


I think it was early 2013 that Chris sent me some demos for a new project he was working on. He’d mentioned that Ryan was interested in the project as well, so I was already into it without even hearing any music, just because we were all already friends. All I’ve ever wanted to do in life is play music with my friends, regardless of the outcome.


I flipped out after listening to the tracks! I instantly had vocal ideas for them and basically went right to work tracking scratch ideas. I think It was the fastest I had ever been able to complete a song, or several songs for that matter, with any musicians I’ve ever worked with and the end result was this huge sounding, sonically powerful set of demos.


Chris was mainly just recording everything at home and sending it to me. I was tracking vocals in my closet and sending ideas back and forth with him, and Ryan was adding his ideas sporadically throughout. On top of that, our friend Dajaun was helping us to mix everything and put it all together. To us, it was all a sign of something big. We all three seem to have a very good working chemistry and at the end of the day, we were having a blast with it so we thought, Why not do something real?


It’s definitely been important to us that the standard of music we create aligns with the emotion of the content behind it. From lyrics to sound, it all has to make sense. We don’t want to just make a song that we can lose our minds to. We want to insert a mood that wasn’t in the room previously. They’re equally important qualities.


As for the music, for now you will have to make do with the following teaser:
