The White Rabbit is an invitation to step out of ordinary time. You have been chosen
and it is not necessary to know or ponder why. It calls us out from our ordinary life to go
on an extraordinary journey which will lead us to an experience which will transform us
in some very significant way. It is an invitation to enter the realm of the real, hidden,
intuitive, unconscious world that exists underneath what appears to be reality. The
unlikely pilgrim will be taken to places that he or she never dreamed possible and the
passage will cost more than what most are willing to freely give. If you happen upon a
White Rabbit, remain awake and alert to the direction you must go and be ready to let
go of everything you believed was important. Or...you can continue what you were doing
and ignore the invitation. The choice is entirely up to you.
The return of Egypt Central has made for quite a journey in this young bands career.
Having success with their self titled debut cd, the four men from Memphis, TN are
poised to continue their impact with the release of their new album White Rabbit and
invite the listener to come along.
Entering the studio with producer Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, 12 Stones, etc.) in early
October 2011, they had a clear vision of what they needed to take the next step of this
journey and set out to accomplish just that. “We knew we had solid songs, but when the
opportunity came to work with Skidd, we found the person that could not only make a
great sounding record, but also bring the best out of us.” states lead singer John Falls.
“We had a lot of growing to do and the time was right to give our fans what they
deserved and what we knew we were capable of…Kick Ass Rock!”
What came out of that recording session is White Rabbit. The body of work is a twelve
song compilation of heavy riffs, lyrics from the soul and strong melodic hooks. Threaded
throughout this collection of songs is a story of consequences that occur when one
accepts or declines the invitation from the White Rabbit.
“Collectively this is the best group of songs we have ever written” states bassist Joey
Chicago. “Testing the patience of our fans during the writing process was tough. But as
a group we were not going to rush our sophomore record out for the sake of time. We
heard their questions as to why it took so long, but once they hear this album, I think
they will understand. We wanted to get it right and put everything we had into White
Rabbit.”
Chicago continues, “White Rabbit signifies the struggles we have gone through
individually and as a group. We all have our demons in our lives and Egypt Central
exists to be the voice or ear for fans to lean on. We want to encourage them to never
give up and to never quit on their dreams! It?s a credo we live by because we have only
begun our journey to bring Egypt Central to the masses!”
The first single White Rabbit will be released Feb 2011 to Active rock
radio and iTunes and the full length CD will be released in May 2011.
They will hit the road in early 2011 and if there is one thing you can be assured of is,
once you see an Egypt Central show you can?t wait for them to return. In the words of
drummer Blake Allison “Our secret weapon has always been our live show. I can?t tell
you how excited we are to play this new batch of songs for our fans that have stuck by
us and this is our invitation for anyone new to Egypt Central to come along on this
journey… we hope you accept!”
