In the music industry, there are always the bands that come and go. This fad will always be an issue within the realms of underground and even main stream music. So what bands have the potential to go on and have successful run at creating the art that is music? What is considered a successful run? For me, I feel that it must be the longevity combined with constant creativity that makes a band successful. The constant progression of a band and their sound is absolutely vital in order to maintain a well oiled machine. What most bands are not understand now a days is that success is not measured on how many kids will mosh at your show, or how much merch you sell. But is measured on how many kids actually "listen" to your music!
With all that being said, we hope that some of you actually listen to music. Not for the cool factor or the most factor. We hope the art will outlive the current times of metal and hardcore, because this is a very dark time.

Tracking completed, mixing to take place. Final tracklisting.
Hey there everybody,
So we have spent the last 2 weeks tracking our new record with John Haddad. What a swell time it was indeed. We're happy with the way it has come out thus far, as we hope you will be too. We're actually sending the record over to Florida to have Eric Rutan mix it down. We will have a finalized cover for you soon, with hopefully a new myspace layout as we are all sure as hell tired of the one we have. With all that being said, I'm going to give you the final tracklisting to our record. The artwork will be posted as soon as we have a finalized version.
"Wounds"
Thieves
Black Earth
The Gathering Bones
Wounds
These Ties That Bind
Arches Of Existence
When The Light Ends
Devourer
Ghost Walker
There it is. The final tracklisting for our 3rd record. We hope that you people will enjoy it. We have worked extremely hard in the last 2 years putting this together. Thank you for your time/patience/support.
Cheers,
The Funeral Pyre

Returning home, recording new album.
We just wrapped up our west coast tour with the almighty BOOK OF BLACK EARTH. Was it fun, you ask? All you need to do is look at this one picture.
That proof enough? I believe so.
Now that we have that out of the way, I (John) as well as everyone else in The Funeral Pyre would like to collectively thank all of the rad dudes in BOOK OF BLACK EARTH. We had an amazing time and cannot wait to hit the road with you guys again. Many hails.
We record our new album "Wounds" in a few weeks with John Haddad (Intronaut, Abysmal Dawn, Eyes Of Fire) then we send it off to Eric Rutan (Hate Eternal, Cannibal Corpse, TTEOTD) to mix this bad boy down. We are extremely excited to do this record with these two gentlemen and are also excited to have some of you kids hear this new record. We have been playing 3 new songs live at our shows, which we've had really great feedback on. So thank you to those who's attention was on us during the show and not the hot girls walking around in tight pants. We appreciate it.
Lastly, we're going to revamp our merch section, get some new designs, and hopefully you will buy them. Maybe you won't, but we're willing to take that risk.
Don't expect a tour till summer, Southern California, don't expect any shows really, maybe 1 from now until summer.
Until then, stay safe, worship satan, do drugs.
In Time.

Cleaning the slate, the year is changing.
Well, another year has passed by us in our short life. A lot has changed, but one thing remains the same. We're still chugging away at our new record. I figured I'd keep you kids posted, well those of you that actually keep tabs on what we're doing. That's probably not a lot of you.... oh well!
In other news, we are gearing up for a little west coast run with the black/death metallers who go by the name of BOOK OF BLACK EARTH. Supreme blasphemy at it's finest. Here's a flyer equipped with tour dates for this little endeavor.
This is DEFINITELY THE LAST tour for our second record, "The Nature Of Betrayal."
We'll have some merch, maybe a new shirt design, we haven't decided yet.
But scope out the dates, promote the show. Help us out.
In time.

For the true and passionate lovers of music.
That's such a great Shai Hulud song. Well, I mean, Shai Hulud is probably one of the best bands to ever exist, but that's neither here nor there. On to the news about TFP........
-Album-
In this "blog" you will find information pertaining to our record that is currently in the works. The title I have been kicking around for this 3rd record is "Wounds." I'm not sure how you people will react to this, but, it's not really bothering me. I feel that this title sums up the lyrical content to a T. Which is what I am excited about. We are finishing songs, playing them live and fine tuning what will be the 3rd installment in the Funeral Pyre career of metal. It's been a long time already, to think that we're already on our 3rd record!? Nobody would have ever guessed we'd be here. I mean, we're not popular or anything, but hey, I like to think that we've accomplished a lot! If you have heard any of the new songs live, I'd really enjoy if you could give us some feedback about what you thought of them. These songs will be different then "The Nature Of Betrayal" but yet the same..... It's a big cycle we go through, you hear the same music, but it sounds different. How does that work? I'm not quite sure, but you will find out in 2008.
-Merch-
We still have a bunch of merch for sale. So help us pay off some bills by supporting. We'll also be redesigning our little myspace webshop here in the near future. Once I get my shit together. So look for a hoodie design up there etc. Should be rad.
-Shows-
We'll be playing very select amounts of shows until the new year. But in January, we will be doing 9 shows with Book Of Black Earth from Seattle. So you can keep checking back for the dates on that. After that, we'll be recording the new record. So please do not ask us to play any shows for a while. We need a break. Just keep checking back for the dates in January.
Other than that, we'll be laying low and working a bit. You might see us at some shows or parties, or whatever. So if you do, don't be a schmuck, come up and say hi!
Until then....
Worship satan.

Tour - Half Way Point
With the tour starting on a Saturday, we figured we could get this tour off to a great start. Soledad is a always amazing, so we set up and play one of our finest shows. The kids were amazing. Apiary destroyed the stage. Mayhem ensued.
So we head up to Oregon for some rainy and cold weather, but some amazing scenery and great people. Eugene, Portland, and up in Washington with Seattle and Spokane. Great shows all the way around. The Pacific Northwest is an amazing experience and we'll definitely be coming back.
Now, we start the second half of the tour. Tonight, with Downey, CA at the Epic Lounge. There are definitely a lot more experiences awaiting as we start this second leg. So if you're in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and finally San Diego, then come on out to these last shows.
Come on out, we'd love to have you.
