DAUGHTERS OF MARA (NOW ON ITUNES!)

Post by 10topprs »

UPDATE: Itunes Link http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-am-d ... d547246972

I don't know how many of you had the privilege of grabbing the album "I Am Destroyer" when Shawn Zuzek posted it on his Myspace page about 4 years back, but it's about to be officially released on iTunes, remastered and with additional tracks included! This album is an absolute masterpiece, in my opinion, and deserves to be heard at the very least. It's packed with raw emotion, and fantastic musicianship. It may be a bit heavy for a lot of folks' taste here but it's a perfect balance of brutality and beauty... The very best album I have listened to as a whole, quite possibly EVER!

http://www.facebook.com/ShawnZuzek

Here's the link to Shawn's Facebook page where he made the announcement of the release... For those who have never even heard of the band before, this was one of Erock's projects from a few years back... his "favorite" band he's ever been a part of according to him. They were signed to Virgin and dropped shortly after production of the album was complete... one of the greater flubs of the music industry in recent years... I think this album would have been huge. Keep checking in on Shawn's Facebook for the release announcement, and do yourself a favor... buy this when it hits iTunes! It's well worth it!

One of my personal faves from the album!

YEEEES, was thinking about making a thread about these guys actually, the album also ranks very, VERY high on my list, looking forward to the re-release as well and will instantly buy it when it hits Itunes.
Dying Game is one of my favs, hoping to see a new solo EP from Shawn too, love everything he does.

I've had those for quite a long time actually, Botomless and Stays Inside too, you can find those on youtube though, Shawn also released 2 demos a while back but I sadly lost those.

Edit: Itunes release also doesn't include Swallow, Heaven, and Lion's Den actually, or those were also not on the original album? i dunno, i got the thing i listened to from some blog site a few years back :lol

I downloaded the leak awhile back, and fucking loved it. Great news!

Can somebody confirm or deny whether there are issues with the files?

If I were in an all-male band and we were trying to come up with a name, anything with "daughters" would seem a bit weird to me. This band name and Projected are among the worst I've ever heard

There's a problem with the iTunes downloads (fucking tech right?).

I will address the issue with the parties involved. If you have purchased the album and are experiencing difficulty, please hang tight while I get everything in order, and I will be sure to send you a link to the proper MP3's so that you can add them to your music library.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
From Facebook... Not sure if everyone is experiencing the same issues? He posted this after I sent him a message telling him what happened with my files.

Never used itunes before, looks like I'll finally have to give in since I've been waiting for a re-release of this album for ages.

What is the bit rate on tracks from itunes?

That's interesting, I just read the new issue of Rhythm magazine and the drummer of this band was interviewed, and he spoke a little bit about Daughters of Mara, I'll type it up when I get the time.

Wow! I'm excited! I haven't listened to that style of music in quite a while but they were one of my favorites.
