Reunited, and it feels so good :
Everyone at Victory is ecstatic about the forthcoming album from Hawthorne Heights. It is by far their best material to date. When Victory and Hawthorne started our relationship in 2003 it was always about beating the odds. Our country has just seen and experienced historic change with the Democratic nomination of Barack Obama. Everything happens for a reason and there is tremendous positivity in the air.
We have lived in a reality of petty disputes, unresolved misunderstandings, unhealthy friction and negative sensationalism for too long. Forgiveness and the ability to reunite are powerful gifts. They create a spirit. Couple that spirit with great music and you have something that is extraordinary and transcendental. You cannot change the past but you can affect the future. There is a bigger lesson and story here than just releasing a new album. Victory, and I know Hawthorne Heights, are thankful to be a part of that.

So how did Hawthorne Heights contribute to Barack Obama? Prehaps they’re thinking like Richie Havens who commented at the opening of the Woodstock Museum “If we have today a woman and an African-American running for president, that’s the legacy,”.

I hope this record will be available on 180g vinyl. I might have to sell my “Cold Son” 10″ EP to pony up the funds for this one.
