Hello all,

It has been some time since our last update, and we have had some major setbacks.  I'm glad to inform you that today we are disclosing some major information about our debut album:

The title of our album is "Awaken."  The album is set to be released November 17th, 2009! 

Pre-sale will be starting in this week.  They will be a vital part in helping us determine how many physical CD's to order, so if you know you are going to get it, preorder it!

It is an 8 song CD, containing all 5 the songs we have posted on our myspace re-recorded and reworked, and 3 new songs that have only been played live.  It also contains several ambient transition tracks that we wrote and recorded.  The album has entered the mixing stage for the first 5 tunes, while all of us concluding the tracking process within the next several weeks.  We had our good friend Matt Y (available for freelance work http://matty.ifequalto...com/portfolio and can be reached at myezuita@gmail.com) do all our album art. As the release date approaches we will be releasing the track listing, but we attached the album cover at the bottom of the page.  We will be doing a major myspace revamp soon, including the new album art, new organization, and eventually new tunes off the album.  

We are hoping ordering new merchandise (T-Shirts and things) to coincide with our debut album.  There will be a t-shirt/album package deal available, stay on the lookout over the next couple of months.  After the release date we will be looking to support our album with shows.  Funding the album ourselves has put us through much, but one of the major stresses has been financial.  We appreciate all the support we have received, and we hope it will continue with the new album.  We will be looking to book shows on weekends from November on.  We are playing Providence on October 23, and we have a New Jersey show and Utica, NY show booked for the weekend before our release.  We are hoping to book Providence and Boston for the weekend of November 20th and 21st.

We thank you all for your support and patience.  This album has been a struggle for us to record from the get go, but now that we see the finish line we are getting really excited.  Stay tuned for some new songs on myspace, and other various media.  Spread the word, the more friends we get via myspace and facebook the better!  Thank you for your support!

Also, we ask you all to take a moment out of your day to remember the victims and families affected on this day eight years ago.

With Love

The Empire Shall Fall
