We are proud to announce that we have signed with Anchors Aweigh Records and are now part of their amazing roster.

Pre Orders for our debut "Abyssus Abyssum Invocat" will be up July 2nd.





Ever since forming in late 2007, Lighthouse have recorded 2 Demos and an unreleased EP. Now with their debut Album "Abyssus Abyssum Invocat“ to be released on Anchors Aweigh Records this five piece is ready to spread their crushing & complex, yet melodic take on the genre. Recorded at "Die Tonmeisterei“ adding more complexity and sleeze to their previous material one is literally dragged through one hellhole to another to hit rock bottom.

listen to XIII taken from "Abyssus Abyssum Invocat“ on our page
then hit up Lighthouse on myspace for 2 more songs !

pre orders will be up July the second !

let yourself sink

yes, thats right! it's hard to tell just how stoked we are about this.
we ve always looked up to Ritual's performance and work/tour-ethic and we ll be able to see them play every night for 10 shows in a row.
we are currently getting prepared for the studio. the new stuff needs lots of practice to say the least.
anyways.
see you on the road.

dear promoters,



RITUAL have been touring all over Europe for the last three years. 2009

will see these young men go about another touring offensive in support of

their brand new and much anticipated new album 'Beneath Aging Flesh and

Bone' released by Reflections Records. This record can be considered a

statement against a mental and emotional downfall, which can not only be

discovered in our society, but in the hardcore punk scene as well. In the

spirit of our age, where life is defined by numbers and not by values;

where information is gained through eating what you are being fed and not

through thinking, RITUAL is set to be an inspiration for a new state of

mind and a new state of heart.



RITUAL will be supported by Augsburg's very own LIGHTHOUSE. These lads are

going to release an EP on the well reputed labels Anchors Aweigh Records

and Day by Day Records in spring 2009. LIGHTHOUSE transform the conflicts

of growing older into a furious mixture of the emotion of recent hardcore

acts such as MODERN LIFE IS WAR with the self-destructive nihilistic

spirit of early 80ies punk bands such as BLACK FLAG. Keep your eyes open

for this promising band!

thanks a lot, nic.

we are happy to finally have our studio time booked at the notoriouslyknown TONMEISTEREI(new Ritual LP, Perth Express, The Now Denial,Tephra...to name a few).
To us it felt like this release was just not meant to ever happen. I am sure we were wrong.(lets hope)
Itwill be released on Day by Day Records by Anselm(the dude that inventedthe word "sickish" and made it go around the world) on vinyl. We dontknow what it will be, 7"-10"-12" whatever, but it ll be on vinyl.
Anyway, this is where we will stay and what we ll be working with:






we are hoping for a release before summer.
cheers.

Its been a long time since an update or any news regarding LIGHTHOUSE.
yes, we are alive. all of of us are fine and you ll wish we had never been summoned from our temporary graves again. we got our shit together and are working on lots of things as we speak.

first things first:
somehow we were out of luck when it comes to studiotime and recording in general so after postponing the release of our 7" for ages we still have no exact idea to when this will be released(letalone recording the whole thing).
After a last minute cancellation we had to cancel our trip to the UK and were left without proper recordings of our new material.
we decided to gear up and do it DIY-style which failed due to our perfectionist members.
it was a big hassle to find out that we were not happy with the outcome of our recordings so it is basically rotting on a dvd forever.

summer was a big bummer because we had to cancel a few shows + Light In The Dark Fest. we ll make it up to everyone that wanted to see us. more than half of us werent even in the country and tons of stuff had to be settled which we can finally lay to rest.

we are back to routine of practicing tons and writing new material.
we have already completed some news songs and we re sure they ll be a kick to a lot of people's heads. expect the unexpected.

we are currently looking for a suitable studio to finally get some studiotime ASAP.

we ll stay locked up in our rehearsal space til then and we ll show up on your local stage soon after
.
we ll keep you posted on future shows or any other news regarding the band.

Thanks.

Dani,Thomas, Dominik, David, Daniel...
