THE FUNERAL PYRE Complete New Album, Announce Title
March 29, 2010, 14 years ago
Los Angeles-based metallers THE FUNERAL PYRE has completed the follow up to their 2008 album, Wounds. The new album, entitled Vultures At Dawn, was recorded by Adam Campbell at Awkward Studios, mixed by Ryan Butler (LANDMINE MARATHON, MISERY INDEX, PHOBIA) at Arcane Digital and was mastered by Dave Shirk (INCANTATION, NILE, TODAY IS THE DAY) of Sonorous Mastering.
Artwork for the album is being handled by Justin Barlett, known for his work with bands such as TRAP THEM, INTRONAUT and SUNN0))) and more.
Vultures At Dawn will hit the streets in late spring.
The band commented, on the sound of the new record: "On this record we stepped out of our comfort zone and tried to create better songs, never focusing on what style of metal it actually is. Just writing the songs was most important to us."
No strangers to the DIY metal circuit, having multiple US tours under their belt, The Funeral Pyre has a run of dates next week on the west coast; two with EARLY GRAVES and four with LIGHT THIS CITY on their farewell run.
The band also just completed a batch of dates to Texas and back with Landmine Marathon, which included Prosthetic's South By Southwest showcase on March 17th in Austin and a Brooklyn Vegan SxSW day party at Hoek's Death Metal Pizza.
