Since this band's inception we have always tried to evolve and progress in our sound and this release is the next chapter in this bands search for something more.
We Set Fire To The Sky is different in more ways than I can describe. Not only has our sound evolved into something bigger and better but the way I approached writing lyrics was different. The theme of the record is isolation; feeling isolated as a human, feeling isolated as a species, and embracing that feeling. This feeling has always been a struggle I've had within my self and it felt good to purge it into this piece.
We have always wanted to release a record our selves, and this will be the first of ours. We wanted something more tangible than what we have grown accustomed to. We wanted to get our hands dirty and get out exactly what we put in. We'd like to thank Dom/A389 for helping us with everything along the way. We would have not gotten this far if it wasn't for Dom and his patience with us.

Vendetta records has agreed to do the pressing of the European version of this record. His version of this record will be slightly different. We appreciate his patience and dedication to this project.
Last but not least, the art work was done by
Thomas Hooper. I saw a piece of his in a flash book he created and I fell in love with it. I contacted him and asked him if he would like to contribute to this project and he said he would draw a piece for us, the raven hexen above is exactly what he sent me. It is an honor to work with someone as talented and that appreciates art as much as he does. His contribution to this project means a lot.
We are waiting on the test presses for this record to come in and pre orders will be going up on Vendetta and through us.
Without further ado, here's a track from this new LP.
Ears to the ground,
