Year Long Disaster, have begun recording their second full-length album with Grammy award winning producer Nick Raskulinecz in Los Angeles, CA at Sound City studios. The new album, titled, Black Magic: All Mysteries Revealed, is set for release in early 2010.

Daniel says that with Black Magic “there is a thread that runs through it that is quite strong, but not necessarily a theme or concept” and describes his lyrics for the new songs as “traversing schizophrenia interspersed with graveyard seductions, Pontius Pilate, girl-on-girl grinding, six foot tall cats with pistols, at least four songs about the sensuality of blood, two songs concern turning over a car and riddling it with bullet holes while screaming random obscenities at the top of my lungs to every passing motorist, allusions to 24 hour breakfasts, ancient sexual rites of the Celtic goddess Agrona, the lust of Count Drakul, sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches, observations of a bloated man standing before a jukebox and of course, a song just about wondering how my clothes got soaking wet, covered in kerosene and why I was in a storeroom behind a riverfront Waffle House in Mississippi with a broken lock on the back door, desperate to find a hacksaw to free my shackled legs.”

About Nick. He is a Knoxville, Tennessee native, who is well versed in the savage dialect of the South, which should aid him in his duty of helping to tie that lyrical onslaught together. Perhaps best known as the producer of the Foo Fighters albums, One By One (2002, Grammy Award for “Best Rock Album” 2004) and In Your Honor (2005), Raskulinecz has also worked with and produced albums from Alice in Chains, Coheed and Cambria, Velvet Revolver, Shadows Fall, Superdrag, Rush, and Trivium, among others.
