Louder Than The Music

US rock band Third Day are coming to the end of the recording process for their forthcoming seventeenth career album. The band have spent large parts of 2012 so far in its own recording studio in Atlanta working with award winning producer Brendan O'Brien. Third Day released their previous studio album, 'Move' in 2010.

"O'Brien is well known for his work with Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Audioslave and The Fray, among others", explains Provident Label Group. "A former vice president of Epic Records, O'Brien has won two GRAMMY Awards including 2010's producer of the year, Non-Classical award. In addition, O'Brien has production credits on 14 albums that have topped the Billboard 200 sales chart."

Mac Powell, the band's front man, shares, "Our time with Brendan has been nothing less than an amazing experience. He is one of my favorite producers. Having made so many great records with so many amazing artists through the years, I consider it such an honor to be working with him. Brendan has definitely stretched me as a songwriter and vocalist more than any other producer ever has."

Posting on their twitter pages last night, the band members revealed they were listening to the recordings to decide if the album was now complete. "In the studio listening to the new @thirdday album!" wrote Mac Powell, while bassist Tai Anderson tweeted "I hope we're done. We'll decide today if we have it, or if we need more songs."
