After a long winter:

• Personnel changes! Michael has moved from bass in the primary band to working his magic on an acoustic project that we’ll be releasing sometime in late spring/early summer on Sinister records. Our friend, Russ Vanover, has since picked up the bass end of things and we’ve already got a few old songs down while charging off into new material. Welcome, Russ!

• Recording projects! We’re finishing up 6 songs that we recorded over the past few months with the intention of attaching them to 4 songs recorded in 2005 (the ill-fated Comfort in the Cold project) with Joey Maas drumming. I’m not sure exactly when or how these 10 songs will be released, but it seems reasonable to say it will happen in summer/fall of this year.

• As for the acoustic project: This is something of a nod toward our earlier years, but of a much higher quality in both recording technology and songwriting. Once the recording is finished, we intend to play some live shows with the material and see where it goes from there.

• Despite being released nearly 2 and a half years ago, reviews for New Roman Twilight continue to trickle in. I’ve added some recent ones to our Reviews section.

• Live shows? Not until early summer for either project; we’ve got recordings to contend with.
