“The Wretched Sun” lyrics

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010
Mmmmmmm, tasty

Mmmmmmm, tasty

We’ve posted the lyrics to “The Wretched Sun” in our forum, because forums are fun, and lyrics are fun, and thus the combination should logically be double-fun! Hopefully, that doesn’t turn out to be anything like double-stuffed Oreos. Sure, they sounded like a good idea, but A: it’s just more lard & sugar, without more cookie, and B: you just don’t fuck with a classic. Unless you plan on making it bigger. Dude, imagine a fucking double-SIZED Oreo. Or wait, maybe not double-sized, ’cause it wouldn’t fit into most glasses of milk, thus completely defeating the purpose. Unless we’re talking total volume, not simply doubling the diameter. Double the volume would likely still fit in a glass, and still constitute a doubling of size.

Any way, here are the “double-sized Oreo” forum links:

1: “Like A Moth To Flame” (lyrics)
2: “Ever Flowing” (lyrics)
3: “Against The Grain” (lyrics)
4: “I Once Had The Crown” (lyrics)
5: “Forever Glowing” (lyrics)
6: “And The Sky Came Falling Down” (lyrics)

Cheers,

“The Wretched Sun” is released unto the world!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Finally, the wait is over: you can listen to/grab our album pretty much anywhere you'd like! It's out in the wild, like a tiger or giraffe or possibly a mosquito. You won't know until you listen, now will you?

No, you won't.

We worked quite hard on these songs, with certain mile-markers of the writing process highlighted in our YouTube videos back before this whole crazy contest came around. It's been an awesome, confusing, rewarding, frustrating, introspective ride, and with a difficult-to-book DIY tour about to commence, the amount and variety of adjectives is likely to increase. So I hope you're hungry for adjectives. And metal. And probably a tour journal.

*munch*

The Wretched Sun

It’s been a long and interesting couple of months, but “The Wretched Sun” is finally “out in the wild”, so to speak. The fine folks over at Big Machine Media have hooked us up with an AOL “Full CD Listening Party” for the next week or so. Head on over and check it out if you’d like! It’ll be on iTunes/Amazon/Etc. tomorrow when the record is officially released, as well as physical copies at our spiffy new merch store.

Psyched for tour in 3 days!

“The Number of the Blog” to sponsor/promote our 2010 Summer Tour

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

The extremely cool guys over at www.thenumberoftheblog.com have decided that they’d like to help us promote our upcoming 2010 Summer Tour, and we think that’s awesome! They recently reviewed “The Wretched Sun”, giving it a “666 out of 6″ (which I think is a good thing. Or an impossible thing?), seen here. We’ll post more info as things progress.

For now, here’s a slick poster I made for the tour:

Don’t forget: we still have a few slots to fill, and could use all of the promotion help we can get: streetteam [at] ironthrones [dot] com!!
