Hailing from southern California's prolific metalcore conniption of the 2000s, Sinai Beach's initial entranceway into the suppression frazzle was their album When Breath Escapes, issued in March 2003 via Facedown. The guys -- vocalizer CJ Alderson, drummer Mike Dunlap, guitarists Logan Lambert and Mike Risinger, and bassist Jeff Santo -- toured heavily for the next two old age in support of the record, playing shows in both North America and Europe, and hooking up with bands like Bleeding Through, Throwdown, and Norma Jean along the way. They at long last caught the attention of Victory Records, which sign-language Sinai Beach up in early 2005. Working with producer Eric Rachel (Atreyu, Dillinger Escape Plan), the band recorded its irregular full-length, Immersed -- which was released that April and exemplified the gang's passion of groups like Pantera, Danzig, Hatebreed, and Slayer. Directly next Immersed's release, Risinger proclaimed his resignation, and Sean Durham filled his shoes on guitar; bassist Santo was later swapped out for Daniel Barachkov as advantageously. When Breath Escapes was reissued with young cover artistic creation in the spring of 2006 by Victory, as the band readied material for its third album.

Diamond finds "Home" field advantage with Rubin

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Neil Diamond doesn't mess with success.


That's why he "never doubted" he'd work again with producer Rick Rubin, who steered their 2005 collaboration, "12 Songs," to a No. 4 debut on the Billboard 200, Diamond's best since "The Jazz Singer" in 1982. The album has sold 571,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.


Diamond, 67, says he and Rubin began working on "Home Before Dark," due May 6 via Columbia, "within weeks after '12 Songs' was finished. All of those questions you have when you work with somebody new were yesterday's news. We knew what we wanted to do."


So after "14 or 15 months" of writing, Diamond hit the studio with Rubin and an improvisational-leaning band featuring guitarists Mike Campbell, Matt Sweeney and Smokey Hormel and keyboardist Benmont Tench. Dixie Chicks vocalist Natalie Maines chipped in on "Another Day (That Time Forgot)," Diamond's first major duet with a female singer since "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" with Barbra Streisand in 1978.


As with "12 Songs," the material on "Home Before Dark" is drumless, with Diamond's still-commanding voice front and center and his rhythm guitar, which he hadn't played in the studio for three decades, guiding the way for the other instrumentalists. On "Whose Hands Are These" and the title track, Diamond hammered out the final arrangements (with Tench and Sweeney, respectively) after the regular session was over for the day.


"Working with these guys, and having Rick's ear, made it a great deal of fun," Diamond says. "Of course, I had to have the enthusiasm of the band, and their consent, in a way. When I played them a new song, I wanted them to love it and feel where they belonged in it. I was lucky enough to receive that on all of these songs. They'd be playing along and looking for their places even before I'd finish the first run-through. It was magic, in a way."


Diamond's summer tour starts May 24 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and touches down in North America on July 19 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Included in the itinerary is an August 23 date at Boston's Fenway Park, which Diamond announced with a surprise video appearance on the scoreboard during an April 8 Red Sox game.


"I always like to include songs I haven't done in the show in a while," he says, declining to reveal specifics but promising that material from "12 Songs" and "Home Before Dark" will be on the set lists.
