EARLY MAN Cancels Tour with VALIENT THORR; New Album Title Revealed
April 10, 2009, 15 years ago
EARLY MAN have issued the following update from band leader Mike Conte:
"Unfortunately due to an arm/back injury that I suffered after our last tour we have had to cancel all of our tour dates this month with VALIENT THORR so I can get some much needed rest. We will hit the road again after this month and all summer long in support of our new full length which will come out this summer. The record is called Death Potion, I actually had a chance to hear a couple mastered versions of the new songs earlier today for the first time and they sound amazing. This record is clearly a new level for us as a band and I can't wait to take these songs out on the road. We will see you all soon!"In other recent Early Man news, Conte has been ranting, raving, answering questions, and keeping the public up-to-date on his and Early Man's debauchery in a regular column at MetalSucks.net.
"With this column," explains Conte, "I plan to give [readers] weekly updates and a behind the scenes look into everything that is going on in the world of Early Man, whether it be drinking, touring, recording, drinking, shredding, drinking, etc., if it’s happening I’ll be writing about it. What I won’t be doing with this column is writing 9 page essays about the 'current state of the metal scene' or 'my take on the new Metallica record' or any other boring crap like that. Don’t you get enough of that horseshit already? WHO FUCKING CARES!"Conte's latest blog entry is available here.
Early Man recently finished recording their long-awaited sophomore full-length, entitled Death Potion, with Jack Endino (High On Fire, Zeke, Valient Thorr, Nirvana).
The album - the followup to the band's 2005 debut Closing In (Matador) - will be released by The End Records in 2009.
