Norma Jean will release Meridional on July 13, 2010. The record is the fifth from the band and was recorded in February 2010 at Glow in the Dark Studios in Atlanta with producer Jeremy Griffith. The band recorded eleven official tracks for the record as well as a few extra bonus tracks and B-sides. Vocalist Cory Brandan described Meridional,

It’s a heavy record, multifaceted with epic sounding, experimental songs, some fast, chaotic songs, and some melodic, commanding interludes. Any track we didn’t think had reached its utmost sonic prowess was given a second look, revised to be as powerful as possible.

The album was preceded by The Anti Mother, their final album for Solid State Records.

Bridge Nine Records has announced the signing of Buffalo, New York’s Lemuria. Label boss Chris Wrenn commented on the potentially unexpected signing for the hardcore label:

It’s important for us to have a diverse roster of artists and we feel like Lemuria compliments a lot of our other bands while standing strong on their own accord. We’ve had Get Better in rotation in the office here for a while and after adding two hardcore bands to our roster, Mother of Mercy and Foundation, we decided to change it up a bit and sign Lemuria. I think our roster really mirrors our collective musical tastes and it’s always exciting to expand on the types of music we release.

The band has released a myriad of splits and 7″s (drummer Alex Kerns runs the label Art of the Underground) and one full-length LP, Get Better, on Asian Man Records in 2008 that our own reviewer called the best debut full-length of the year. This July, Lemuria will hit the studio with producer J Robbins at the Magpie Cage in Baltimore, MD (Hey Mercedes, The Promise Ring, Jawbreaker) to record their yet-to-be-titled Bridge Nine debut.
