Take As Needed For Pain

THERE IS POSITIVE NEWS.

Three weeks ago we received the test-pressings of the 12" with Starve. We heartily approved them (the sound is so much better when compared to the mp3). GO AND PRINT.

Well, no.

But now, all the artwork problems have been resolved and today we got an email, telling us that they'll be shipped the 29th of August!

There are 250 black LPs and 50 crystal-meth, pre-orders have started via badger_records@hotmail.com, but as soon as there are records proper, we will make them obtainable in our bandcamp.

So, we have another release-party to look forward to. But this time, the records will actually be there. And of course, we will have our CRY ME A BADGER FEST 2012 at the ACU. It will take place the 16th of September, a Sunday late afternoon show, and we will be again bejoined by STARVE, our Northern buddies in Ortega and the amazing UK Caveman Battle-Doom heroes of Conan.

As soon as there's a flyer and more info it'll get posted here.

As for the rest, we are still looking at an end of the year/start of next year tour with label-buddies The Great Old Ones, so bookers take note. We are mainly looking for shows on the mainland Europe, but the UK is doable too.

New songs are coming up too, we have just started working on what might well be the last song needed for the full-length. As soon as everyone's done holidaying and marrying we will finish this elusive beast.

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!
