Just wanted to give you all an update as to what is going on. There's some ups and some downs, but things are still going on and forward. So, here we go...sorry for the long read.
- The album will be recorded/mixed at Rookwood Audio in Butte, MT. Mastering is planned to be done by the great Maor Appelbaum. Drums will be performed by Charlie Fell (Abigail Williams/Cobalt/Nachtmystium/etc) for the purpose of recording the album. He will be coming through in the next few weeks to do his tracking and then on to Olympia where he lives. Bass on the recording will still be performed by my longtime friend James Carrick, as originally planned. We will be recording video of the recording session and uploading stuff to youtube, so stay tuned for that.
- If we pursue any shows after the album is finished, we will be looking for a live drummer. AJ Puckett is still currently involved as our 2nd guitarist. If we do anything in the future beyond recording the CD, he will be the man onstage with us. Tom Thompson is still our voice. Everyone needs to start plugging him to practice so he can record his vocals. :-p
- Still planning on the same guest spots on the album. As originally mentioned before: Greg Burgess (Allegaeon) and Brad Hull (Forced Entry/Sanctuary). They haven't been sent anything, so I can't tell you what's going on with that yet. I also plan on fulfilling our original interest of having our friend Jeremiah Hammon (Ravings Of A Madman) do a guest vocal spot. There might also be a spot from my friend Ben Epperle (At Home In Hell). Lastly, I'm hoping the stars align so Cori can play some of his parts on the album. After all...he wrote most of the music for this effort. Artwork will likely be completed by A Thousand Arms, though, we are still looking at options..
- We will indefinitely be unavailable for any live performances. In the meantime, you can catch me performing with At Home In Hell and Age Of Nefilim. The rest of the guys (besides Charlie, who tours all the time) aren't doing anything else live, or I would tell you to go support them as well.
Here's a video of me performing with At Home In Hell on Halloween in Great Falls, MT
So, that's pretty much the meat of it. Help us out with the funding of the full length by purchasing a download of our remastered demo here at our Bandcamp page. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and winter! - K.
