The records have arrived! They look great and sound amazing. They're going to be added to the Big Cartel as soon as I figure out how much postage will be. Alas, sending the records will be expensive, so it's easier to pick them up at our gigs.
This Saturday, we played the VERA for the first time ever, and even though we've played in Groningen before, this one was the best without a doubt. A small basement, arches everywhere, and as soon as there were more than 40 people, sweat dripping from the walls. Pictures can be found here, but they don't do the show justice. Wizard's Beard and Five Will Die were not only amazing guys (doing the dishes at the place you slept, never had that one before!), but harsh, heavy and loud as well.
Luckily, we'll see them in a month's time at the Siege of Limerick.
First up though, our official release-party for the 12". Friday the 7th of October, ACU, Utrecht, with Envy and Screw Houston, Start Screaming! who will release their EP too. This show is probably going to sell out, and there won't be any presale, so just be at the ACU around 21:00, get some amazing tofu/tempeh breadrolls at Babby's Snacks(across the street) and celebrate with us.

Chain Wandering Deeply
Two huge shows coming up, one awesome weekend.
This Saturday, we are playing at the INCUBATE FESTIVAL, with amazing bands like Celeste, Light Bearer and Planks. It's part of a huge festival, spanning one week and one city, with art, performances and discussion fora spread throughout Tilburg. We will play at the 013, stage01, around 18:30.
With a whole bunch of luck, we might have our 12"s then, becuase Shawn sent them this Monday, but it's a slight chance.
After this weekend, we have an Irish weekend with our friends from Five Will Die and Wizard's Beard, and we'll play both ACU, Utrecht and VERA, Groningen. Come and slug proper whisky/whiskey with us.
ALas, our friends from Cathode had to cancel because their singer has ripped his throat (true story), they hope to be back in a month or two. Be sure to check them out then!
We have decided to have an official release party for the "A Rage Of Rapture Against The Dying Of The Light" 12". Because Friday, the 7th of October, we will be sharing the stage with long-time heroes Envy, amazingly intense screamo/post-rock from Japan. This show is going to sell-out, so be sure to get to the ACU, Utrecht early! Screw Houston, Start Screaming!, a local screamo band will release their EP too then, so it'll be a night full of vinyl and friends.
In two weeks time, we'll finish up the recordings of "A Chosen Hollow", as will STARVE. Good times acomin'. Share them with us.

To Pluck Up The Night By Its Skin
You can pre-order our record now!
We've approved the test-pressings, Mell Dettmer at Sinister Kitchen did an amazing job in mastering our 12", the sound has improved immensely. She has done stuff for Earth, Trap Them, Sunn O)))), Altar of Plagues, Six Organs of Admittance and Fauna a.o., and you can hear her expertise in the end-result, more prominence for every instrument, a better balance and a broader, deeper sound.
We'll get our part of the deal around mid-September probably, with a bit of luck we'll have them for the mini-tour with FiveWillDie and Wizard's Beard, both of whom'll have a new record with them as well!
With this pre-order comes a contest, where you can win the original artwork for the shirts by mr. Eikenaar.
Somewhere along the next two weeks we'll finish recording the split with STARVE, more updates then!

Sick Transit Gloria Mundi
Today, the test-presses arrived. According to Richard and me, they sound AMAZING, but we have to wait what the judgement of the rest will be. Know that the sound, when compared with the EP, is far more expansive, the bass has more prominence and there are no FUCKING ANNOYING GAPS BETWEEN SONGS. As far as I'm concerned, we've got a definite improvement here.
As soon as we approve, this will be sent to press, and I think that we will be able to sell them around half September. We'll get a couple of golden vinyl records and somewhat more black, the rest of them will be sold via Shawn's amazing Antithetic Records. At the end of August, STARVE will record their half of the split while we finish up our song, so expect that one around October.
Since things are finally working out for us, we definitely feel an urge to write songs now, to complete the full-length. I really hope we can start this at the beginning of next year.
I leave you with the assignment to buy stuff from Heinali & Matt Finney, they are two amazing guys with an unrelenting musical eerieness that keeps you awake at night, clutching at straws.

Blue-Collar Tweakers
In a huge blogspot-entry, Shawn of Antithetic Records gave us all releases he's planning this year on putting out this year.
As you can read, mighty stuff up ahead. Especially the East of the Wall and Wildernessking records are something to look forward too I find.
As the more vigilant reader might have noticed, I lied to you.
Instead of 300, Shawn's putting out 500 of our 12"s, of which 200 will be coloured for the TRVE KVLT fans. The audio has been mastered, the artwork got approved, now we wait for the test-pressing. Expect more news on this soon, and keep an eye on Ebay.

The locust has no king
Let's start with the new records.
This fall will bring the re-release of our EP "A Rage of Rapture against the Dying of the Light". Antithetic Records has asked us to cooperate on this, and since Shawn has a penchant for weird metallic music (hence the releases of Kayo Dot, Maudlin of the Well ao.), how could we not join in?
Three hundred 180gr gatefold 12"s will be pressed, of which we will receive sixty. Pre-orders have not started yet, but if you keep an eye on Antithetic's webstore and ours, things'll work out fine.
Around the same time, we will release a split gatefold 12" with fellow Dutch merchants of filth Starve Starve, which will feature the first proper new material since the EP. Our apologies for that, but dealing with broken limbs, new guitarists and work tends to put off the writing. Expect a long track on the burrowing behaviour of the feeble. Or something along these lines. Badger Records will be releasing this, after releasing Starve's new 7" Black Sludge, White Sludge.
We are looking at the end of this year and the beginning of the new one to start recording our full-length. It appears that our show with Glorior Belli and Kjeld is cancelled, so when you come and see us at the amazing Incubate Festival the 17th of September, alongside Celeste, Aura Noir, Nadja, Lustmord and many more, you'll hear loads of new material.
See you soon.
