What are your hopes for the band's next album?

The news is out! It appears that Corey Brown (Magnitude 9/Section16) is going across the Atlantic with his vocal skills and is currently in negotiations with London based progressive rock group, Balance of Power.

Corey voiced his thoughts on Balance of Power, Section 16, and the future of Magnitude 9 -

Recently, Corey flew to the U.K. to meet up with the band members of Balance of Power and audition for the group. There are plans for a concert with the band at this year's Fire Fest Rock Festival in Nottingham, England in November as well as a new album in spring of 2006. There are also negotiations on the table for multiple tour dates in Europe during summer 2006.

In the meantime, Corey returns to lead Section 16 back into the studio in August to wrap up new tracks for Section 16's second anticipated release (no title as of press release). Corey stated in a recent interview, "Section 16 is my band at home in the U.S. We have a sound that is very different from that of Balance Of Power, and the fact that I have Section 16 and Balance of Power allows me to explore various styles of vocal techniques and delivery. I get to have multiple channels of creative output and work with some killer musicians at home and abroad, Section 16 is my primary focus, but the chance to play in Europe with a band as established and talented as Balance of Power was too hard to pass up!"

When asked about his involvement with Magnitude 9's next album, Brown said, "I am not sure that Rob (guitarist for Magnitude 9 ) is really interested in working on another album at this point. Rob has other projects that he wants to focus his energy on, and he is trying to pursue other avenues musically, such as instructional guitar videos and the like. The last time that I spoke with Rob about doing another Magnitude 9 album, Rob said, 'I am not sure if I personally want to do another Magnitude 9 CD. I want to go in a heavier direction. I no longer want to do a CHAOS TO CONTROL or REALITY IN FOCUS type CD with long drawn out 7 minute songs. I've been there, done that...' "

Corey concludes by stating, "The future of Magnitude 9 is unknown at this time. I told Rob that I am interested in putting out another album with Magnitude 9, but I am not sure about the direction that Rob wants to go, how it might affect the overall sound of the band, or if it would appeal to the musical tastes of Mag 9's fan base. I guess the proverbial ball is in Rob's court!"
