Living Sacrifice’s ‘The Infinite Order’ Embraces New Technologies

For their latest album, 'The Infinite Order,' Living Sacrifice embraced relatively new technology -- like Pro Tools -- which weren't super popular (or utilized) during their last album cycle for 'Conceived in Fire' back in in 2002. Given the fact that the band lives in different states, it was a matter of necessity to employ modern technology in order to make the album, which is due out in January.

"It all came together well," Fitzhugh told Noisecreep. "I was concerned since I live in Nashville and the other guys are in Arkansas. There were a lot of MP3s going back and forth, and I would drive down for weekends and we'd all sit in a room and put stuff together using Pro Tools. That was new for us. Pro Tools was around in 2002, but we weren't using it. We were demoing on four-tracks or hard disc digital recorders. Also, most of these songs were not played live before they were recorded. We pieced them together."

Musically, the band went into the album with no sense of the marketplace or market conditions. "We wanted to write something really heavy and not worry about it," Fitzhugh said. "Basically, we were not putting pressure on ourselves. We approved it that way. We wrote a lot of what we like, and it sounds a lot like us, what we've done in the past. There's no big leap or anything."

The band recently shot a video for 'Rules of Engagement' and will be posting blogs and videos from the band "acting stupid" in the studio on their web properties and the Solid State YouTube channel.
