NEWS AND NOTES: As you guys have probably figured out already, the release of "Revelation of the Lost" has been delayed (to say the least) due to some internal disasters within 1x1 Music. Though we would love to fill everyone that follows us in on what's going on, certain legal technicalities prohibit us from going into further detail. These same setbacks have been responsible for our downtime over the last few months, but we want to make it clear that we're not going anywhere and that we're still working hard to make sure "Revelation of the Lost" sees a street date in the not-too-distant future. We'll be back in full effect this August, beginning with a performance in our hometown with underground legends, Coalesce. We're also working on getting a track or two from the new album online sometime soon, despite its delayed release. We're sick of sitting on this material and want nothing more than to let you hear it. Continue checking back for updates and we hope to see you at a show soon. PEACE.

STUDIO UPDATE: We started mixing this week after being in the studio since December. The time and effort put into the album by ourselves and the wonderful people we had the pleasure of working with at Trax East and Labyrinth Sound over the last few months has really gone a long way. After spending a long time writing this record, we're greatful to have had the opportunity to sit down, take our time, and make sure that it translates as precisely as possible to recording. We're extremely happy with the results so far. We'll wrap up post-production by next weekend.
"Revelation of the Lost" is 11 tracks of us at our best to date and will be available in stores EVERYWHERE this June through 1x1 Music/Fontana Distribution.

STUDIO UPDATE: Recording is coming along great so far. The album will be called "Revelation of the Lost" and is 11 tracks long. We've spent the last few weeks in two different studios taking care of business. Jeff wrapped up drums at Trax East with Eric Rachel (God Forbid, A Life Once Lost, Every Time I Die) back on the second to last week of December and the drums sound monsterous. We began tracking rhythm guitars last last week at Labyrinth Sound in Cherry Hill, NJ. Rhythm guitar will be completed today and will then be reamped at Trax East within the next week or two so we can get a sick ass tone for the record. Erik will begin tracking bass today after we wrap up the last rhythm guitar track, so we hope to have Alex recording leads early next week. We'll keep you guys updated.

We'll be entering Trax East this Monday (12/18) with Eric Rachel (God Forbid, A Life Once Lost) to record our 1x1 debut, Revelation of the Lost, which will be out this coming spring. Check out a demo version of one of our new songs, Man Down, on our Myspace page.

NEW SONG/NEW BASSIST: We just posted a new demo track called "Behind the Lies" on our Myspace page. "Behind the Lies" was recorded along with the track "Wasted" this past February at the Skylight (Bury Your Dead, A Life Once Lost, The Minor Times, One Dead Three Wounded, Shattered Realm) with Vince Ratti. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Secondly, we would like everyone to welcome our newest member, Erik Pendergraft. After Muff's departure in May, Erik was quick to apply for the bass position and played with us on our June tour with Lokyata. Since the chemistry between Erik and the band was so great and we already felt like he'd been in the band for years, naturally we decided to make him a permanent member. Erik formerly played for the now-defunct Lansdale, PA area band, Blood of the Innocent.
Big thank yous to everybody that we met on the road on our tour with Lokyata. We got to hang out with a lot of people that we will never forget. We hope to be back again sometime soon. We have some great shows coming up in the next few months and we hope to see you out there! July 21 in Wilmington, DE be sure to come on out for One Dead Three Wounded's record release show for their sophmore album "Moving Units" on 1x1 Music. Also playing will be Anterrabae, The Banner, and The Minor Times. August 4 we will finally be making our way up to Rochester, NY again after bad luck had intervened on our last two attempts--with a show cancellation and most recently a car accident. We'll be sharing the stage with New York's own If Hope Dies at the Penny Arcade and it's been over a year since our last Rochester show, so needless to say we are really looking forward to this one! That's all for now. PEACE.

LOKYATA/THE DIVINING TOUR: We'll be kicking off our tour this Friday in Wilmington, DE at the Harmony Grange. For all you Philly people--the Grange is about 45 mins away, so come out and support. Due to a serious illness in one of the member's immediate family, Iscariot decided to cancel their dates with us and Lokyata but will be hitting the road again later this summer. We will close out our tour on June 24th in Aston, PA. This will also be the last show ever at Harry Katz. Again, this is very close to Philly, so try to make it out--especially if you can't make it out this Friday. Taking up bass for us on tour will be Erik Pendergraft, formerly of Lansdale area's Blood of the Innocent. So long as everything works out on tour, Erik will be taking the job permanently.
Late July we will be back at the Grange in Wilmington, DE to bring the house down with One Dead Three Wounded as they release their sophmore album, "Moving Units". The Banner and Anterabbae will also be playing. We have some new T-shirts coming in this week, which you can purchase either through us at a show or online through the Dressed to Kill Records webstore. Lastly, all of the info for our tour dates is now available in the Shows section. See you on the road!

TOUR/NEWS: We'll be hitting the road this June for some dates with Jacksonville Florida's Lokyata and Indiana's Iscariot. The dates are posted in the Shows section. We have a show coming up tomorrow night in Harleysville, PA, and it will be our first show in the Lansdale, PA area since September, so all you Lansdale kids better come on out! May 25th we'll be opening up for the 2006 Abacus Records tour in Philadelphia at the First Unitarian Church with Caliban, Sworn Enemy, Ion Dissonance, and Embrace the End. Both shows should be a lot of fun and we hope to see you there.
In other news, our bassist Muff, has decided to part ways with the band following the June tour. Muff was not kicked out of the band and this decision was his own. He plans on pursuing a carreer and life outside of music and our plans to go full time next year will not leave room for him to do that. Naturally, we will be looking to fill the bass position. We will be having try-outs for anyone interested within the next few weeks leading up to tour and then more after we return. However, there are a few things to consider if you wish to apply:
- Must have own decent equipment
- Must be able to tour
- Must live within 30 minutes of Philadelphia and be responsible for their own transportation. We will not pick you up unless it is feasable.
- Special consideration will be given to individuals that have a driver license, that have experience playing in other bands, and that are cool dudes.
- We bust eachother's balls... a lot. If you are a crybaby, don't bother.
- We are a metal band and naturally we like to get down to the ground and eat meat. We are not opposed to trying out individuals that do not, but please keep in mind that this is what we do and if it bothers you, we will not be persuaded to change our lifestyles and your addition will probably not work.
With that said, if you are interested or have any questions, you can contact us by emailing Dom. That's about it for now, see you soon!

NEW SONG: Our deepest apologies for not updating in such a long time. The good news is, in light of not updating in such a long time, we have a lot to update you on! First of all, we recorded two new songs February 26 and 27th with Vince Ratti at the Skylight (A Life Once Lost, Bury Your Dead, Turmoil, One Dead Three Wounded, The Minor Times, etc). You can now download the new track "Wasted" on our Myspace page.
We had a blast on our tour in January and to everyone that came out to our shows, hung out with us, or let us crash--we can't wait to do it again.
Lastly, we got some great shows coming up in the next few months before the tour. We'll be playing the second annual Death 4 Life fest at the Championship in Lemoyne/Harrisburg, PA on April 1st. We'll also be playing Philadelphia, PA again for the first time since our December 2nd show. That's about it for now--take it easy!
