Bay Area death metallers LIGHT THIS CITY have begun pre-orders for the bands forthcoming swansong, Stormchaser, online here. The album will see a November 11 release through Prosthetic Records and marks Light This City's first posthumous release following the band's hiatus announced earlier this summer. The album's music was finished and artist Kristian Wåhlin (EMPEROR, DISSECTION, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER) had completed artwork for the effort, so a release was scheduled as the band's fourth full-length and third for home Prosthetic Records since Light This City's birth in 2002. A new track from Stormchaser, 'Sand And Snow', is available on the band's MySpace page.

Stormchaser tracklisting: 'Stormchaser', 'Fragile Heroes', 'The Anhedonia Epidemic', 'Beginning With Release', 'Firehaven', 'The Collector. Part 1: Muse', 'The Collector. Part 2: Donor', 'A Desperate Resolution', 'Wake Me At Sunset', 'Bridge To Cross', 'Sand And Snow', 'Self Portrait'.

"Looking back on the writing and recording of Stormchaser, I have to say it couldn't have been a more amazing experience," drummer Ben Murray said. "Rehearsing every day for two months to write this record was grueling, but rewarding in the end. Working with producer Zack Ohren was awesome as usual, and he definitely got the best performances out of all of us. Having Chuck Billy do vocals was a surreal honor, and having our friend John from the Funeral Pyre contribute his vocals was also an awesome addition. Both tracks, 'Firehaven' (with Chuck) and 'Collector Part 2: Donor' (with John) came out heavy as hell thanks to those guys."

Stormchaser is the follow-up to 2006's Facing The Thousand, which took the band on the road DEATH ANGEL, labelmates ALL THAT REMAINS, the Death By Decibels tour with VADER and MALEVOLENT CREATION, HORSE THE BAND, EDGUY, INTO ETERNITY, THE FUNERAL PYRE and ANTAGONIST, among others, over the course of nearly two years. Three in-studio updates from Light This City's time recording Stormchaser are available here in three parts: part 1, part 2, part 3, while the video for 'The Unwelcome Savior' from Facing The Thousand is available below:
