Cleveland, OH, August 15, 2005—Northeast Ohio-based heavy rock band Prism Theory is set to release their sophomore album, Unity For Insanity, on Latticesphere Records on October 18. The album is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2003’s In the Wake of a Dream, and features a more mature sound that draws from Prism Theory’s roots in heavy, melodic hooks, as well as more personal lyrics that have been drawn from the band’s experiences together as a unit.

For this project, Prism Theory was initially set to record a few songs to get a feel for where they wanted to go as a band. But the studio proved to be a breeding ground for inspiration, and soon the band had enough material for a powerful full-length release.

Unity For Insanity was produced by Bill Korecky at Mars Recording Studio. Korecky is known for his work with Northeast Ohio’s powerhouse bands such as Mushroomhead and Disengage. His demand for fundamental performances and a high intensity work ethnic were a key reason the band selected him. Prism Theory knew that with having those same principles in mind, they could capture their true style and sound.

"Bill has been nothing but great to this project, and he sees and shares our vision," says guitarist Barry Davis. "He has really brought out the best in all of us for sure".

After completing nine songs in the studio, the band dug back into their catalog and brought back some songs that where never recorded or released. But bringing those songs to the level of the other nine was going to be a challenge. Then much to the band’s surprise, the new versions of the songs fit very well with the theme of the album, and brought new dimensions to the overall style of writing.

With Unity For Insanity, Prism Theory once again takes you on a musical journey though musicality, brutality and lots of emotion. With powerful songs such as "Too Far Gone" and "Falling Down (Like Rain)” to very melodic sing-along songs like "Wanted" and "What's Real" to progressive/musical songs as "Storm Shower" and "You Don't Know Me," this album is sure to strike a chord with just about anyone.

As far as lyrics, there were more ideas being brought to the table this time. "This was my first time contributing song ideas and coming up with something to say lyrically,” says drummer Drew Pen Cook. "I had all these ideas and lyrics building up in my head, and was glad they worked their way into the context of this band. It brought a new element to the writing."

Another addition to the album was a version of Genesis' "Land Of Confusion" which the band had been performing live since late 2003. "We always felt like it was such a great song to do, being it really fit with what was going on in the world today, says lead vocalist and keyboardist Chris Imlay. "Not to mention we're fans of Genesis."

Then in the spring of 2005, word was out that the metal band "Disturbed" was set to release the same song on their new album. Due to a lot of live performances of the song over the past year and half, Prism Theory felt as if the idea had been stolen out from under them. The band was unsure if they even wanted to include the remake on the album after the news, but decided to carry out their idea because their version was going to be totally different from Disturbed’s.

"We have had a lot of people who have seen us perform “Land of Confusion” and have requested many times to include a version of that on our upcoming album,” says Davis. “So we are going to do just that. What we want people to know is that our version will be different yet more genuine to the original and it will give people two different perspectives on one great song."

With the release date approaching and expectations running high, Unity For Insanity is sure to plant Prism Theory's feet deeper into the music world and let the essence of power, feeling and emotion reign in the modern music genre once again.

"Whats up everyone. Okay, all the music is done for the first 9 songs on the album! Chris hits the studio this week to start the vocal tracks.
