Metal/Industrial artists Less Than Under announced today that Ahrue Luster of International recording/touring group "Ill Nino" will be producing the band’s second album. "This is an exciting time for [Less Than Under]," said Michael Aranda guitarist for the band, "having such an accomplished and respected artist agree to produce the next album will really help push the band to the next level."
Biography
All good things come to those who deserve them. That is the philosophy of Denver based metal/industrial act, Less Than Under. Most people ask "What does Less Than Under stand for?" One thing Less Than Under stands for is LIFE. When life seems to be at its lowest, and you think nothing else can happen, or things can’t get any worse, you know one thing you can be sure of...Things can always get worse before they get better. That’s life and life sometimes can slap you in the face. LTU’s songs are about how we react and learn from these harsh lessons that life teaches us. LTU strives for hard-hitting, powerful grooves, while maintaining driving, thought provoking lyrics that resonate with the fact that there is a rougher side of life, even though most people would rather pretend that type of life doesn’t exist.
Less than Under was formed in January of 2006 when Michael Aranda and Jace Nimz, who were playing in a band that was opening for national acts such as 30 Seconds to Mars, Flyleaf, Mindless Self Indulgence, and KMFDM, joined forces. They came together with Dustin Hollmer, who was in a band that was opening for national acts such as Monster Magnet, and Lacuna Coil. The trio wrote 2 songs on the first night jamming, which are on the debut album "A life less Ordinary". Soon enough the mojo kept flowing and they were writing song after song. A total of about 50 songs were written in a 5 month period. 11 of those songs made it to the debut album "A life less Ordinary" which is available on CD Baby.com.
The missing piece was the rumbling of low end on their hard hitting, larger than life grooves, so they went on a search for that ever elusive bass player. In the early stages, LTU was using electronic bass, but then realized the necessity of having that live bass sound and feel. And soon they met up with Mike Gray. Mike brought in the low end that was missing and necessary to complete the unit. When he’s not charging full steam to put fires out and save the lives of people that he doesn’t even know, he’s locking the foundation of LTU’s hard-hitting style of music. In March of 2007 Less Than Under added a second guitarist. All of you might already know the Metal Maggard from his other band Cevrance, but now you can see him strumming away with his new band Less Than Under. Jon joined just in time to start working on the groups second album. From what I’ve heard so far sounds sick as hell with flavors like Lamb of God meets Machine Head. It’s going to be one sick album.
