Realizing that Carbellion hasn't been performing live with the same frequency as in previous I thought it might be wise to catch everyone up on what is going on.
THE FOLLOW UP ALBUM TO VILLAINS IS FINALLY COMING OUT 10/31.
Yes, you heard that right. October 31st we are having a CD pre-release date party at Champs in Sheboygan Wisconsin. The CD will be available to the general public 11/3 via Dead Tree Music in Europe as well as RFTWC Records and Indie 500 Records in the US. It should be I-Tunes around that time as well for the digital people.
Some of the initial CD artwork being used you can find as our logo on the myspace and facebook profiles. It is a full length and features at least a few tracks that should come as a suprise to even our closest fans and friends. It was recorded at Bell City Sound in Racine with production cues from Chris Djuricic as well as advice from Marc Johnson at Indie 500 Records. Göran Finnberg (The Haunted, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames etc) is lined up to master the album which we are excited about.
We've got a few shows lined up before 10/31 to get the band back out live again.
September 18th we are back at the Reptile Palace in Osh Kosh with our friends in Droids Attack. It's always a good time playing with those guys as they riff with an intensity few others posess. September 19th has us back home in Sheboygan at KD's Standard Hall. It's always a good time when we play here and the club is in the process of "making it even more rock friendly" with no cover, bigger stage, bigger sound, bigger lights, etc.
October 3rd has us at the Skipper Inn in Sheboygan for a B-day party and a gig with Sheboygan metal stawarts Rusted Remains. We miss Texas so we decided to do a quickie tour back to the lone star date the following weekend. We were set to play October 9th at the Rockstar Sports Bar again but we are to understand that the booker changed and they won't honor the original deal that the label made. RFTWC/Indie 500 Records is in the process of working that date out we are told. October 10th is in stone at our favorite venue from the Passage West tour last January, the Deadhorse in San Angelo. It's a killer venue in the middle of Texas that has a certain Dusk to Dawn feel somehow to us. Closing it out in October is the CD Release show at Champs. It's shaping up to be huge with N-Tune giving us two Greg Bennett guitars to give away as well as their killer tuners and some t-shirts, some kind of free beer thing is being talked over, 106.5 the Buzz may be involved, and F!ck it if it isn't Halloween! Oh, yeah our new CD titled "the Horse" is coming out...
Aside from all of that we've got 7 new tracks being worked out in pre-production that are planned to be recorded sometime before 2010 at the Pop Machine studios in Indianapolis with Marc and Eric Lee Johnson. Should be a totally different spin for Carbellion. More to come on that.
As a closing note if you don't have a copy of our debut album "Villains" time is running out. We are now down to under 100 CDs left between our inventory, Indie 500 Records, Dead Tree Music, and CD Baby. I'm not sure at this point if more will be pressed so if your interested act fast or let us know so you can get a hold of one!
Until next time,
-Carbellion
