Tracking - Day 14 or something
So, we've been at Awkward Studios putting together our latest record. All of the drums have been tracked, most of the guitars have been tracked, and we've put down 2 songs with vocals. This process has been new to us, being that this is the first time we've tracked our own record. It's definitely been a learning experience, but thus far we feel this has been better for the sound, or music, or whatever it is that we really do. None the less, we are extremely excited about this record. We have 11 songs (with probably 3 more that we'll record immeidately following this recording process) but not all 11 will make the final record. I think we'll go with about 9 songs on this release. Is it different than our previous record? I guess so. Do we think people will like it? Who knows. But we're stoked, and we honestly hope that you will be. More updates coming soon.

Recording / News
Hey everyone,
So, we have 8 songs tracked (drums only) and are shooting for the end of this week to wrap all of the drums up. Then, we'll start the guitars and proceed from there. I can give you two song titles, one of which we've played live, "Vultures" and "Monolith" are two tracks that will be on the record. We're still mulling over what the name of the record will be... We're not sure when it will be released, but that news is to come.
As for the release of the album, Prosthetic Records will again handle the duties as they have handled our last 2 records, (well, The Nature Of Betrayal was re-released, but alright). So, expect some kind of announcement about it in the near future once we've pinned down a date/time etc.
Also, we'll have about 4 new shirt designs for the SXSW tour and the final LIGHT THIS CITY shows. As for the LIGHT THIS CITY shows, be sure to buy your tickets in advance as I'm sure these will sell out... Just fair warning..
Thank you for reading, until next time.

News - 12/3/2009
Some news to relay. Thanks for being patient with us as we gather our collective thoughts in preparation for 2010.
New Album
- We are currently in the writing process and we are becoming extremely excited about this new record. We have about 9 songs ready to go, some of which will be played next year, maybe even starting in January. We'll probably be recording sometime early to mid next year. Song titles and album name will be decided upon later, so we'll announce that once it's set.
- We are currently in talks with doing a split cassette tape with our friends in The Dolemite Project. This would be an extremely limited tape, probably 100 copies.
- We'll also have a new 7" out next year, after our record, which will also contain new songs. Will it be a split? We're not quite sure at this point.
Touring/Shows
- As you know, we are playing SXSW (South By Southwest) We are currently unsure of when/where we'll be playing. But given this opportunity to play, this means we'll be doing about a week tour around it. We'll have a routing soon, so please get in contact if you can help out.
- We currently have 2 shows just about ready to go in January
January 15th - The Blvd Cafe in Boyle Heights w/Landmine Marathon and The Network + more.
January 16th - TBA - Riverside w/Landmine Marathon
Merch
- We're working on new merch for the new year. I realize a lot of our stuff is old and crappy, but hey, we have to get rid of it. So please, if you can, spend a little bit of cash to clear us out of this bullshit and we'll get some new stuff up there as soon as possible.
That about brings us up to speed. There's a lot going on but without a new record, we're kind of at a hault. We'll have more details on everything in the coming months and we'll be sure to let you know asap.
Thanks again,
The Funeral Pyre
