LOS ANGELES, USA, July 8, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rock band Beat the System, a four-time Asian Voice Independent Music Award-winning group from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is announcing their upcoming debut album, which is slated to record in September.

“The album will be a secular positive rock album, as Beat The System stands for positive music,” said Gerald Sellan, drummer, songwriter and composer. “We will be including elements of Asia blend with American production. That’s why the band is coming to the U.S. to work with the finest producers to realize the vision.”

The album will consist of a mixture of rock, hard rock, alternative rock, grunge and modern rock elements.”
