Rotting Corpse Records was proud to announce that their recording artist Urn, the Chicago-based gothic/metal act is now being endorsed by Fryette (formerly VHT) amplifiers.
Dominic St. Charles, Urn's lead singer/guitarist, has been using Fryette exclusively the past couple of years and was humbled and honored by the endorsement.
“I wish to thank Kevin and all of the staff at Fryette for selecting us for endorsement. It is a high honor to be chosen by one of the industry's leading amplifier companies as well as to be listed among the iconic artists that also have sworn by the quality and durability of their products.”
Urn is currently touring heavily in support of their release Scribings of a Forgotten Soul which they had recorded with Fryette amplifiers.
Scribings of a Forgotten Soul which is a concept album based on a true story of several individuals that were in St. Charles' life that were directly involved in a prison riot at state correctional facility near the town where he attended high school. “Think of it as a 'Law & Order' approach to the story we are telling here,” he explained. “Of course, all of the characters are completely fictitious and do not represent any person living or dead. It was a major event that shook my community at the time and my best friend's father was the night shift supervisor. So a couple of months before it happened, he took a group of my friends and I on a tour of the prison at 2:30 a.m. (we thought it would be interesting to do). The experience of seeing all that was going on from the inside from many perspectives, the prisoners, the guards, etc., ended up being highly enlightening for me. So when the riot broke out, it was hitting very close to home and I had been doing a good bit of writing at the time and decided to chronicle these events. So in essence, that is what this album is about a fictional depiction of this event.”
