Superbly recorded and produced at Vault Studios in the rock heartlands of the Black Country.

The new JD Miller record ’World War X’ sounds like the musical child bred by Eclipse and Evergrey. If you like melodic, guitar driven rock fronted by edgy vocals and soaring harmonies all wrapped up in modern production - JD Miller is your thing!

World War X’ was recorded at Studio Haga and Studio Berghem in Sweden by JD Miller themselves. The album was mixed by former member Christian Svedin as he understands the sound of JD Miller, and it was mastered by one of Swedens true audio greats in Thomas ’Plec’ Johansson at ‘The Panic Room’.

"We are super exited to be a part of the Mighty Music family and we feel like they are a perfect fit for us. 'World War X' is a great melodic hard-rock album that we are really proud of and that we have slaved over for the last 2 years. It's the first record featuring our new line-up with Chris, Alex and Elias who joined during the recording process. We hope that the listeners will love the feel and sound of the album as we gear up to get out on the road to meet them." - JD Miller

"World War X" is the follow up to the 2014 critically acclaimed "Grand Intentions" that got a 9 out of 10 in Rock Hard by Stefan Glas and mentioned JD Miller when he summed up the best from his music year in 2014: ”In Sweden, JD Miller made crunchy hard rock with ’Grand Intentions’ which has an awesome groove”.
 
Out April 28.
