10 years on

Hello,

We went away for a while. A lot has happened since our last post in Feb 2014. We released a song in 2019 and went dark shortly after. The world became sick, we became distant, there was movement but not enough. We saw the ashes rain down over us in that pandemic year, due to wild fires. Then we went back to business as usual while we were still getting sick. Meanwhile our art was being co-opted and ravaged by online influencers and tech companies; for better or worse (mostly worse). Now you need to feed the leeches in order to get anything done before someone even looks at you or your art. Some of us fled the cities for a quieter life, for a life outside of the confines of those piles of concrete. Where grifting preachers used to say "end times are coming", they now say "the end times is NOW". We saw our heroes fall like many others. We are in the decline of whatever it was we all had back then. The forever wars cant last forever, maybe just lasting our lifetime. The genocides are televised and we are still selling ourselves to the highest bidder. The stage is set for something to break, we're all just waiting to see what it will be and how bad the fall out is. 

We never said goodbye for a reason, there was no need, no one would care, not even ourselves. There are rumblings of a thought, a wish, a dream that need to be realized. Maybe we'll see you again, sooner rather than later.


In the meantime check out our other projects:

We are sad to say that it is now time to part ways with our bass player, Kevin. He will be leaving the band due to other obligations that require him to move out of state. We will miss him, but it was a long time coming.

We will be searching for a replacement for Kevin in the mean time. We will continue writing and hopefully this new member can fill the void that is left when Kevin leaves.

We Set Fire To The Sky

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.

Stefan at 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,
