Crown The Lost Gives Year-End Wrap Up, Announces Temporary Bassist

Crown The Lost has posted a year-end round up on their MySpace blog, including word or their new stand-in at the bass position. Here's the update from the band:

"First things first: our show last night (December 19) @ Excuses was a success, so much thanks to our new friends Lucidity and the dudes of In the Wake for coming out and rocking. We'll have to do it again.

"Our bass position is going to be manned for the time being by Dom Scarano, who comes to us from Kevin's old band, Allanon. Dom's first show with us will be Friday, January 16 @ The Smiling Moose, so we have the next few weeks to throw everything we can at him. Methinks he'll handle it just fine.

"As for 2008, like most things, they didn't go as planned, although the band now is at a better place than it was a year ago at this time. Shedding three members was not something we particularly enjoyed doing, but in the end it has all worked out. If anything, we'll take the experiences of this year and translate them to 2009, where we plan on having a lot less bumpy of a trip.

"March of '09 will see the release of Blind Faith Loyalty via Cruz del Sur Records and suffice it to say, we are both enthused and relieved to get the album released. Subsequently, songwriting for our third album will commence in the coming weeks and that, along with promoting BFL will be the focus of the new year.

"Massive hails to all the new friends we made this year and everyone who has been directly or indirectly involved with CTL. We'll buy you a beer. Or if the Steelers win the Super Bowl (Satan willing they don't), Joe will buy you five. He gets generous when that shit happens. Not me. I'm skipping town."
