Update 11/23

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  This week is just full of awesomeness, if you ask me.  Turkey day tomorrow, a ton of sweet deals the next day, and officially being able to listen to Christmas music without upsetting people for "starting too early."  And to top it off, here's an update.

- - - - -

Speaking of Christmas music, Deas Vail will be releasing a four-song Christmas EP titled For Shepherds & Kings on November 29 (next Tuesday).  The EP includes the songs "Do You Hear What I Hear," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "Coventry Carol," and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."  I'm no expert, but I'm thinking they'll do an awesome job with this.  Also, don't forget to check out dates for their Christmas tour, which you can find here.  

- - - - -

Onto a totally different note, Demon Hunter has announced the release of a deluxe edition of The World Is A Thorn, due out on the same day as Deas Vail's EP.  It will have one cover song and four acoustic tracks, in addition to the rest of the record.  Hopefully those songs are on iTunes so we all don't have to buy the album over again, yeah?

- - - - -

For all of you Owl City fans out there, pre-orders for Live From LA begin November 29th as well.  You can pre-order it on iTunes and have it for when it releases digitally the week after, on December 6th.  If you want to wait for a hard copy, set your eyes on February 7th.  It'll also be on Blu-Ray, if anyone's interested!  You can watch the trailer by clicking here.

Last (but definitely not least), Five Iron Frenzy has made a pretty big announcement.  They're back together!!!  And to make things even better, their new album is more than 200% funded, according to Kickstarter.  That is unbelievable.  For more info, click here.

That's all for now!  Enjoy your turkey!

Update 11/11

Happy 11/11/11 everybody!  Hopefully all of your wishes came true today.  Right now I'm chilling with my new pet dinosaur and am about to go for a ride in my new hovercraft.  But before I do that, here's an update.

If you haven't yet heard, Matt MacDonald of The Classic Crime is going to be a dad very, very soon!  With this, however, came the question of how to afford another mouth to feed.  The answer?  An EP MacDonald recorded with his wife under the name Vocal Few.  The EP is called She'll Be Right, and "the proceeds will go to buy diapers and pay for baby checkups and all the weird things babies need and she won't starve or die because this EP will ensure, in part, that She’ll Be Right!"   To pre-order the EP and show your support, you can go here.  

As some of you may know, Showbread is currently on tour in Europe.  From the looks of their recent tweets, they could really use some prayer.  Also, if you want to help them out over there, you can buy their first ever remix album.  I, for one, am very intrigued to hear what a Showbread remix will sound like.  Sounds like it'll be raw.

Lastly, if you "like" Run Kid Run on Facebook, you can download an acoustic version of their new song, "Someway Somehow" for free!  The new album drops this Tuesday, and from what I've been hearing, it's great.  I. Can't. Wait.

That's all for now!  Hopefully the world doesn't implode from the awesomeness of 11:11 tonight on 11/11/11.  Blows my mind.

- - - - -

New to Tooth & Nail, Blessed By A Broken Heart is releasing a song for free from their upcoming debut, Feel The Power.  The song is called "Deathwish," and it sounds like a mix of hardcore music and classic rock (?).  You're going to have to see for yourself.

Update 10/11

An update?  What is this, you ask?  Every once in a while I'll post a few tidbits of news regarding the current state of your favorite artists, and put them all in one post such as this one?  Sound familiar?  I haven't done one of these in forever.  So...

- - - - -

To start, Deas Vail's newest self-titled album is out today.  And if that doesn't get you excited, the fact that it's only $3.99 on Amazon MP3 might.  I have no idea how long that deal will last, though, so you may want to hurry.  The album was produced by Relient K's Matt Hoopes, and it's pretty sweet.  Still a bit early to say anything definitive, but I'm definitely liking what I'm hearing.  Link up here.

Now, this one is a bit interesting.  The Devil Wears Prada has announced something called Zombie Slay: The Game.  Today they launched the official website, on which you can find several links and this description:

Did you know there’s a zombie apocalypse upon us?! Prepare for it with Zombie Slay. Be the hero that rises from the darkness as you traverse realistic city and surburban landscape to save other survivors from disgusting, evil creatures that have overtaken the earth.

To keep your momentum up while fighting against the undead,  you’ll need some serious tunes — so enjoy your personal metalcore soundtrack while you destroy approaching zombies with a simple swipe of your finger. Your temperature is sure to rise as zombies crowd your screen, but get excited — the more you kill, the more features you unlock!  Awesome weapons, much needed armor and different environments become available with more play.

Zombie Slay is more than a game, it’s preparation for the inevitable zombie invasion!

Compete with your friends and foes using OpenFeint and Game Center integration! Zombie Slay is supported on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

Lastly, Showbread has announced the title of their next album, which is in the works.  It is currently being titled Cancer.  No joke.  The band will be headed off to Europe in a few weeks, but expect some more announcements on that in the near future (hopefully)!

House of Heroes- "Lovesick Zombie"
