Local purveyors of unabashed hair-metal Sunday Night Blackout have completed work on their debut album, produced by Seattle rock mainstay Kurt Bloch.

After procuring Bloch, SNB holed up at the Institution, more specifically in Post Stardom Depression’s practice space/studio, which was generously offered by PSD frontman Jeff Angell. SNB spent nearly a week recording and overdubbing in the space, then Bloch took the project to Seattle’s Chroma Sound for mixdown. Bloch is also handling mastering duties for the record, and SNB are currently entertaining label offers, says guitarist and founding member John Wokas. If things go to plan, Wokas says, the record will be released as soon as August. Although opinion varies widely among members, the band are working with the tentative title Public Boner.

Whatever the name, fans of SNB’s frenetic live show should be happy to hear that the local act will soon offer a product ripe for blowing out the sound system in the ol’ Camaro. Tracks slated for inclusion feature heavy metal-meets-Blue Oyster Cult dual-guitar attack from Wokas and lead-guitarist Omar Schambacher, reserved, un-augmented bass compliment from ex-Catheters guitarist Derek Mason, and appropriately throaty bellowing from apparent Bruce Dickenson protégé Neil Devlin, formerly of Spitting Teeth.
