Just in case you aren’t the huge Protest The Hero fan you thought you were and skipped out on their six dollar Pacific Myth subscription service (which, for those who don’t remember, was a six-month plan where the band released one new single every month), the Canadian outfit has just announced the “official” release date of their Pacific Myth EP.
The six-track release – which will also include instrumental versions – will be available to the masses physically and digitally November 18 via Razor & Tie. In regards to why the band chose to deviate from their subscription and finally release the EP for everybody to hear, the band explained saying:
“Pacific Myth was purely an experiment. Normally, we take as much time as we need to write records – lots of which is spent procrastinating. With Pacific Myth, we didn’t have that luxury – we promised to release 1 song per month on the 15th of each month for 6 months running. What we discovered in writing these tunes was the fact that strict deadlines (even if self-imposed) do not allow for over-thinking – something we are incredibly guilty of on our four existing full-length albums. Surprisingly, the constricting time frame lead to some risks in writing we wouldn’t have normally taken – or at least some risks we would normally have had the time to identify as “too risky” and then re-worked until we felt safe again. For this reason, it’s a totally ‘go-with-your-gut’ record and one we are extremely proud of.”
