That’s right. Most anticipated album. That isn’t exactly a phrase to be thrown around lightly but Alternative Press has deemed PIERCE THE VEIL’s forthcoming sophomore album to be worthy of such a title as “most anticipated” and after A Flair for The Dramatic it’s hard to fault them for going there. The California based quartet have been writing and recording demos at their home studio since the completion of the 2009 Taste Of Chaos tour.

“When we got home from Taste Of Chaos, we set up our home studio here in San Diego and started working on the new album,” Vic told Alternative Press in September.  “We haven’t taken any breaks or any time off.  It’s just been straight writing every day as much as we can… Touring so much over the last couple years, we have grown very close to our fans… Their excitement has been very inspiring to us and has given us even more incentive to try and make the best record we can.”

Having toured so extensively over the past three years the boys of PIERCE THE VEIL have not been able to completely hush themselves. To keep in touch with the fans, the guys have launched a weekly online chat hosted by LiveStream.com called “I’d Rather Be Touring.” Every Friday at 4pm fans can tune in and be updated on the progress they have made.

Recording for the yet-to-be-titled sophomore album enlists Mike Green (of Paramore and the Matches fame) for the role of producer. Recording will take place between December and January in his Los Angeles studio. “His records sound amazing and he is a very down to earth and passionate person,” Vic explains of their decision.  “We wanted to work with someone that has the same love for what they do as we do.  We have 100% confidence that we can make a very special album with Mike.”
