Pure Steel Records artist POWER THEORY have released the following information and a brief video regarding their forthcoming third CD release that’s planned for a late 2013 release. Founder Bob “BB” Ballinger has announced the CD will be titled Driven by Fear and the band is recording at a new studio with Matt DiFabio (SINGLE BULLET THEORY, Hard Attack Entertainment) as Engineer and Associate Producer and Peter Baltes (ACCEPT) overseeing the project as Executive Producer. Matt’s home studio is a guitar sound mecca with an endless choice of amp heads. The new cover art work has been completed by Timo Wuerz from Germany who has worked with HELLOWEEN and STEEL ASSASSIN.

“We are five songs in with guitars and Matt has helped us create some amazing guitar tones, as we are pushing for this album to be much heavier sounding without losing our traditional metal sound and dynamics. That’s where Peter’s experience and excellence will be present by making sure we maintain the integrity of our style and stay true to the metal.”
Ballinger also noted that the band welcomes Drew Foster as their new bassist. “Drew has been involved with Power Theory for four years now with photography, video, web design, and cd layouts, and has been along for every step of the way so far. Drew is a rock solid bassist.”

A video report from the studio can be found below:

GunShyAssassin.com has posted an exclusive stream of Power Theory’s “Colossus,” from the band’s recently released An Axe to Grind. Praised by critics for their energetic brand of traditional metal and stellar musicianship, Power Theory brings a modern edge to the classic NWOBHM style. Check out “Colossus” at this location.

In other Power Theory news, the band recently welcomed guitarist Steve Stegg [Blood Feast, Sleepy Hollow, Tapping the Vein] into the fold. “Power Theory has been looking to add a second dual rhythm/lead guitarist since the end of the recording sessions for An Axe to Grind, but our commitments haven’t given us the time to do anything but start to compile a list of potential candidates,” guitarist Bob “BB” Ballinger explained.

“Steve is a great friend and supporter of the band, and has been a regular at our local shows; in fact he replaced me as the Colossus guitarist and played with Jay Pekala prior to his first Sleepy Hollow tenure. We would always jokingly added Steve as our top candidate when we discussed it, but knew he was very busy with Sleepy Hollow and there was no chance, so we moved on to other names” added BB. “Steve informed us he had become available  in mid July and was interested in jamming to see if there was chemistry and it was evident from the first few minutes it was a great fit for both Power Theory and Steve.”
Power Theory has started work on the follow up to An Axe to Grind. The band will enter the studio in February to begin the recording process. Stay tuned for more details.

“Power Theory has been looking to add a second dual rhythm/lead guitarist since the end of the recording sessions for “An Axe to Grind”, but our commitments haven’t given us the time to do anything but start to compile a list of potential candidates” BB explained.

 “Steve is a great friend and supporter of the band, and has been a regular at our local shows; in fact he replaced me as the Colossus guitarist and played with Jay Pekala prior to his first Sleepy Hollow tenure. We would always jokingly added Steve as our top candidate when we discussed it, but knew he was very busy with Sleepy Hollow and there was no chance, so we moved on to other names” added BB. “Steve informed us he had become available  in mid July and was interested in jamming to see if there was chemistry and it was evident from the first few minutes it was a great fit for both Power Theory and Steve.”

Immediate plans for the band are 2 area shows in August:

We will then take a short break from live shows to start demo tracking for a new full length CD we are planning to start recording in February 2013 and release in 2013 as well. We are currently negotiating with a legendary artist/producer for the project (more to come soon on that). Steve will be a very big part of the writing and recording process for the new album, and we will resume some live shows in October 2012. European dates are being planned for 2013 with Red Lion Music.
