A Couple Shows Coming Up, and Record News

So, Follow the Earth is playing a few shows before we move to Wyoming. One is Muse Music's Battle of the Bands, and we're playing the final slot on Friday, May 14th. Kind of late notice, but we're doing it. The other show is our "farewell" show, and it's May 29th at Muse as well. We're moving to Wyoming, because Brandon and Shane got bomb ass jobs erecting windmills. While we're out there, we plan on getting a house and all the equipment we need.

We also plan on resurrecting our album "The Man With Guns For Arms", Follow the Earth's first venture into this crazy world. The songs written and re-written over the course of about four years, the track list is as follows:

Disc 1:
1. Iccasis Overture
2. All Was Well
3. Interlude: A Thought on Survival
4. Act I: Copper and Steel
5. The Walk
6. Act II: Armus Virumque Cano
7. The Sound of Winter
8. The Silence of Winter

Disc 2:
1. In the Wake (Of the Reoccuring Glory of God)
2. The Man With Guns For Arms
3. On the Seventh Day
4. Tangency
5. Return to Arcadia
6. Blue Ocean Garden
7. Aside: A Thought on Redemption
8. The King, The Meterist, and The Duel

Our music around this time was darker, more primal and introspective. Elements of post metal, avant garde style ambience and jam passages help illustrate a man's slip into insanity. This is music I'm really close to, being the period in which I joined the group. Aside was actually the first song I wrote to, and the writing process for The Walk was the greatest time writing I've ever had, as it is mostly just a jam song.

With the artwork already done for this album, we should finish it by the end of the year, but I'll make no promises, as we rarely keep them. I can promise that it will see the light of day though, and this music will never be forgotten.
