Updates, Acoustic, and Collaborations....

Hey everyone - we've been insanely busy this past month, so just wanted to stop in and make a quick post on here. If you haven't seen our news section, we've had some nice progress in the digital front. Our Sellaband account is now at $1130, we started really interacting with new fans on myspace, and "Death Clock" is getting some nice press in multiple outlets.

In the "real" world, we've been practicing to play some acoustic shows and hope to begin those in March/April. Didn't think we could do acoustic did ya? Sure can! We are excited to play the songs off "Blinding Epiphanies" for people in a different way. During these sets, we'll also be playing some new material. We'll be mixing up the sets on different nights, but look out for songs like "The Manual", "Groupthink", and "One Last Funeral" - just to name a few.

We've also been working on a new song called "Beautiful Chaos" - this song will be a collaboration of sorts. Another Sellaband artist, Telepathy, wrote the amazing lyrics to this song and is asking for other artists to put it to music. We decided to take on this task and we are really excited with how the song is coming out so far. Hopefully we can work out a way for Willow (from Telepathy) to lay down some vocals on this track and make it a true collaboration.

Here are the lyrics she wrote, along with her description

Beautiful Chaos
Escape to an Oasis
from the middle of the mad rush
breathe the green air garden
hidden from the road dust

Oh the dust of the road
in the heat of the sun
the clashing of souls
and the firing of guns
we rest in the peace and quiet of our homes
but we just can't escape
the contradiction of this beautiful chaos
oh this beautiful chaos

Oh ain't that life ain't that life
you can know what you want
but you still got to strive to find your way out of the labyrinth alive


"I wrote this lyric after living in Nepal for ten years and seeing so much of conflict and poverty and political disarray, the complete messiness of life, that although ugly can be found to contain so much beauty. I think it is appropriate to much of the state of the world everywhere!"

-Willow of Telepathy





We will be adding some of our own words to make it fit with the music we wrote.

Can't wait to get it done and out there for you guys to hear!

Til next time...
