it's been a month

since the last update. so we'll get going on this. the tour is almost happening. we've been booking this thing for a long time and still some of the shows aren't coming through, but we have more shows booked than not, so it's a go!

we're going to try to get a new shirt design done before the tour, so hopefully we'll have it. sorry the update is lagging so much, there just isn't too much to report.

oh! except that we'll have our new split with Landmine Marathon VERY VERY VERY SOON!
so be sure to pick that up.

Listen to Cult Of Luna's "The Eternal Kingdom"

summer summer summer

it's been a month since the last post, so i figured i'd liven this place up and do something. this post may not be informative or worthwhile, but i just don't want to feel complacent. you get me? ok then. so basically this blog is for me to just make me feel like i have self worth, which i don't. anywho, onto stuff and more stuff.

- we are getting the summer tour booked, even though some areas are taking a tad longer than others, i feel like it's coming together fairly well and right on schedule. but of course, as the weeks go by, i'll start freaking out. so, YOU see any dates that are TBA and YOU feel like you can help, please feel free to e-mail ME (john) at Myfinalautumn(at)aol(dot)com

i like doing that.

- split 7" with landmine marathon. all the parts are done, we worked out a price with the printers and now on monday, i think we're going to give it to the plant to print. we're super excited about it just because we like putting stuff out for no reason other than to just add to our cataloge. well, that and landmine rules. so, if you haven't ordered it, please do so - forestmoonproducts.bigcartel.com

- oh, we also have a twitter now. just because we don't have enough outlets for me to talk about basketball and black metal. twitter.com/thefuneralpyre

i don't know what else to say, there's no important information at all.

Hardcore

Hey everyone. We've finished the tracking for our split with Landmine Marathon. It's sounds pretty rad. Super harsh recording, dirty, fucking aye. It was recorded with our friend Roger. It's low budget, but fuck it, it's awesome. So here are the tracks that we did.

1. Torched Sky (New song!)
2. Attempt (ACME cover)

There are limited quantities of this bad boy, so be sure you check out the forest moon page and pick it up. It's available for preorder, so do it up.

Split news/Tour news

Been laying low for a few months, not really doing anything. I guess it's a much needed break from the "metal" world. But that's what we need as we get ready for the long summer tour which will inevitably leave us all broke and disheartened again, by the so called "metal community." So why stop there? Maybe we'll write another full length record for all of you kids to complain about, maybe tell us how our "older" stuff was superior? Yes, we'll be writing another record, regardless of what the internet "elitists" think, or what you kids think. It'll be full of early Swedish black metal worship because, let's face it, there's nothing left we can offer that is original. On to other news, we still need help booking our upcoming tour. So if you see a date that you could help with, please e-mail me, john, at this e-mail MYFINALAUTUMN@AOL.COM and we'll hopefully get it all sorted.

We also have some news about the upcoming split with our friends in Landmine Marathon. The artwork which is just about completed is being done by Matt Martinez of Landmine Marathon. The artwork is awesome, so we're all stoked on it. Once we have our song fully mastered and done, we'll be sending it to print. Which could be as early as next week. Preorders will be launched on the Forest Moon page as well as our webshop very soon, probably by the end of the week. So stay tuned as this is going to sell quickly. Thanks again for all the support, to those who actually support.

In Time,
The Funeral Pyre

News / Summer Plans / Records

Hey,
It's been a while since I've posted anything. So here you go. We'll get caught up a little bit and keep it relatively short.

- We are doing the split with Landmine Marathon, our 2 songs are just about finished, we'll be recording with our friend Roger (Cerberus) so be on the look out. We'll have one brand new song and we'll be doing a cover of the song "Attempt" by ACME.

- We will be doing some summer touring, I can't say how much, for how long, and with who yet, but once we know, we'll tell you!

- After the split is recorded and ready to go, we'll start writing for our next record. This will be our 4th full length record. Not sure what to expect yet, but we'll do updates frequently throughout the writing and recording process. It will probably be out in early 2010.

- We're going to get some new merch, we're just trying to sell off the last of the other stuff, so please help out, spend a few bucks, get a cool shirt.

Until then,

update / update / update

So it's been about a month since I last posted something, so I figured I'd get you all caught up to speed on the happenings within The Funeral Pyre. So, let's get started.

We've finished up the "December" ep and should be receiving the product next week, then we will ship all of the preorders we've gotten. We'll also have some new t-shirt designs for sale soon. I know we have a bunch right now, but you should definitely just buy those cheap ones that we're trying to clear out, help us out and in return we'll get some awesome shirts up on that webshop.

thefuneralpyre.bigcartel.com

We have some shows coming up, be sure to check out the Myspace page, including our record release show with Crom, The Dolemite Project, Ghostlimb, Landmine Marathon and Bomb Raid. It's going to be an amazing show.

Well, that about does it for now. Let me know what kind of records you've been listening to. Post them in the comments section, i want to know.

Cheers

NAMM convention and some venting

So, I recently spent the last couple of days down at the NAMM convention down in Anaheim, CA. It was the first one I'd ever been to so naturally I was pretty excited to get in there and see what's going on. I mean, I'm not an instrument buff, but I can definitely appreciate the skill of a player. With that being said, let's talk about why NAMM sucks. Don't get me wrong, I think it's an amazing place for people who are involved in selling guitars, owning a shop, technology advances for instruments and what not. But all you assholes who show up and think that you're going to "make it big" by getting a pass somehow and passing out demos or trying to get endorsements when you haven't even put in the time with your band. This just pisses me the fuck off. I was there with some friends who got me in and asked if I would like to go and just check out all of the latest guitars, drums, and whatever else, but not once did I go in there thinking that soliciting my band, when these companies are trying to do business to make a living, would be a priority for myself or my band. Also, wearing leather pants, with bandanna's in your back pocket, hair down blowing in the wind, playing the most dipshit ass solo ever heard, just stop this garbage now. 80's metal is not back, it's not cool. Let's just stop this right now. You're embarrassing to yourself and to metal in general. I'm not saying everyone has to be "black metal" cause hey, I really do enjoy Saxon, Skid Row and other bands of the genre, just, now, 25-30 years later, you can stop dressing like a fucking moron. ok i'm done.
