One Day As A Lion is the creation of musical comrades Zack De La Rocha and Jon Theodore. This is music about space the space between friends and collaborators where ideas form; the space in a song where the tension builds waiting for the next wave of sound; the space in the corners of the recording studio (Sinatra s old room at Ocean Way) where the sound gathers to fade and die. One Day As A Lion worked hard to capture that space on tape, unadulterated, unmolested, from heart to hand to skins to mics to tape to speaker to ear. The result, someone said, sounds like Led Zep meets Dr. Dre. Here then are the facts: Jon Theodore (Mars Volta) played drums while Zach de la Rocha (RATM) played a beat up Fender Rhodes piano. The melodies change quickly from hard and minimal to soaring and emotional. Then Zack hit the mic and brought the hard heat to the mix the lyrics are fierce and they transform the music so it takes on its own identity and stands for itself without the need to be introduced, explained, or justified, says Theodore. The music is majestic, apocalyptic, and celestial. The music will stand for itself. Millions have been waiting for this.
