Lybica has announced that their self-titled debut album will be released through Metal Blade Records on September 16th. The band features Justin Foley (drummer of Killswitch Engage) on guitar with Joey Johnson, bassist Doug French and Chris Lane on drums.
Along with the announcement details, the band released a video directed by Maria Jazel for their latest single “Manifest” which you can find below. Foley offered the following comments:
“I’m thrilled to announce that our debut record will be out September 16 on freaking Metal Blade. It’s fitting to share ‘Manifest‘ today, as well, since it was the first song Doug [French, bass], Joey [Johnson, guitar], and I played together a few years back. Now that [drummer] Chris [Lane] has completed the band, it’s time for some shows.
Fellow Floridians can see us at Respectable Street in West Palm on August 5, and also at Fest (!!) in Gainesville, with about 200 of your favorite bands. I also suckered the KsE guys into letting us play with them in Albany on September 22, just a week after Lybica‘s record comes out. We can’t wait to see where this band takes us, and we’re excited to get things started!”
