Schaffer's goal for this project is not to sell records, t-shirts or tickets, but rather wake people up and to get them to start researching and talking with each other. The album hits stores today and features a lengthy and very detailed booklet with stellar content. The brand new website www.sons-of-liberty.net is now active, so be sure to head over now to find out what this message is all about.

Born from Schaffer's desire to stimulate curiosity about a pattern of global banking corruption that is undermining the independence of people and their countries, SONS OF LIBERTY aims to spearhead a multi-faceted and peaceful resistance of the tyranny being wrought every day on regular people.

Sons Of Liberty: : Brush-Fires of The Mind Set For July 13th Release, New Website Streaming Debut Album and Alex Jones Show Video Interview

Century Media Records — Wed, 19 May 2010 12:39:27 GMT

Historically, music has always been at its most powerful when coming from a place of oppression or struggle. As the reality of making ends meet in North America becomes a bleaker prospect with each passing year, regular people who never before questioned their own government, are now finding themselves looking for answers to explain the increasing levels of difficulty and fear we are all now forced to deal with. ICED EARTH brainchild, Jon Schaffer, has developed a new project, SONS OF LIBERTY, for the purpose of spreading awareness about the current state of affairs worldwide. Schaffer's goal for this project is not to sell records, t-shirts or tickets, but rather wake people up and to get them to start researching and talking with each other. He setup the very informative resource website www.sons-of-liberty.net as a think-tank containing lots of interesting web-links, book and movie recommendations, and much more. SONS OF LIBERTY: Brush-Fires of The Mind is set for a July 13th release. Schaffer knew exactly what he was doing when he initially launched the SONS OF LIBERTY project via his very public and outspoken appearance on Alex Jones' radio show, the man behind the controversial and wildly-popular www.infowars.com and Prison Planet TV. You can check out this in-depth interview now below.

Schaffer, in turn, has reverently named his new project after a secret organization comprised of notable United States' patriots that formed in 1765. These patriots worked fervently to expose and resist the tyranny that the colonists were subjected to, which ultimately led to the American Revolution.

Sons Of Liberty: : JON SCHAFFER STATEMENT REGARDING THE PASSING OF RONNIE JAMES DIO

Century Media Records — Mon, 17 May 2010 20:09:01 GMT

"I just wanted to write a note about Ronnie James Dio and how much I will miss him. Ronnie was the most genuine person I've ever met in the music industry. I think we've all had run-ins with our childhood heroes, and sometimes it can be a disappointing experience. This was definitely not the case with Ronnie, he was a wise, kind, and special person, and a dear friend that will be greatly missed. Rest in peace brother, your spirit and music will continue to inspire generations to come." Jon Schaffer
