Stemage Reveal Album Details

Progressive metal band, Stemage, issue an update on their Myspace page regarding their album release:

"The album is called Strati, and will be coming out on Silent Uproar Records - www.surecords.com. The "street date" for the record hasn't been set, but all that's pending is art and pressing. I'm setting a tentative Oct 1, 2006 date, but that's pretty loose. You guys can snag the record on itunes way before the disc arrives if you're interested. As soon as I start taking preorders for the record I'll put up tracks periodically until release. Of course, by the time the first track hits, we'll have a hard date.

The art direction is being done by Asst Art Director of Rockstar Games, &rew, which is a privilege to say the very least. Little bits of his art can be seen on the stemage.com domain and the myspace page, but it's nothing but sketches so far.

Strati is 11 tracks and around 50 minutes of all new stuff. Here's the tracklisting in its entirely:

01 - Star Ninety-Six
02 - Calling the Kettle
03 - Library
04 - Luna
05 - Strati part 1
06 - Fabulous Fabulist
07 - In Dependence
08 - Duo
09 - Anosmium
10 - Strati Part 2
11 - All of Australia

I highly recommend you guys check out Far-less, Bellaparker, and Feersum Ennjin, the 3 current acts under the SU label. SUR rules all, and I'm damn excited about working with them. Far-less got picked up by Tooth and Nail last year and are currently on tour, Bellaparker is a soundscape in itself, and Feersum Ennjin is none other than Paul D'Amour, the old bass player from Tool, and mastermind behind Lusk (not to mention Matt Mahaffey played drums and recorded his disc).

I guess that's it. :) Next update will be for preorders, new website launch, preview songs, and final artwork."
