Originally originally due for release on August 7th (read story on
UG, "
On the Western Front" is
D.I.'s first proper studio album since 1994's "
State of Shock". The band have began work on this album for a few years and many believed that it was actually made in the wake of their 2002 compialtion release Caseyology, which also featured some unreleased material.
Due to many delays, D.I. have been touring constantly since reuniting for good in the early 2000s, even when they supported the "Caseyology" compilation. The band unexpectedly split up sometime in 1995, just a year after the release of their last album "State of Shock", which did not sell very well as their older albums.
