Metro Manila Aide: Second Album Plans

Second albums are notoriously tricky, typically rushed out by the record label to satisfy the demand for more product. When the first record is forty tracks and over two hours long it can be an even greater pressure. Well, it's not a problem for this band!

Metro Manila Aide have revealed the new album, the follow up to world record breaking debut album The Devils Handbook will be recorded underwater.

The new album is understood to be a prequel to the debut album The Devils Handbook, starting a century before The Devils Handbook picks up.

The band revealed they are sampling the sounds of Dolphins and recording is apparently taking place in the setting of the underwater oil rig from James Cameron's 1989 movie The Abyss.

The band are clearly optimistic about the outrageous plans. Paul McBride said, "We have to go one better than the last album!"

Fans are being asked for ideas to come up with a title for the new sub aquatic record and can leave their suggestions on social networking sites Facebook and Myspace.
