Epistle Reveals New Album
U.S. funeral doom metal band Epistle just issued this announcement about releasing a new album:
"I would like to present the new album art for the forthcoming 2nd album 'The Old Bridge.' This album is a bit strange inasmuch as its really a compilation of demo's written and recorded over the last few years, fleshed out to be a cohesive working whole.
"Like the first album 'Alone' this album is intensly personal. This time around however the topics not only range more but encompass a much broader existential scope than on 'Alone.' Additionally, this album will feature vocal work by a number of guests as well as compositional and keyboard work by my brother Justin Dagenhart. I'm very excited to showcase his work in conjunction with my own."

The Order Of Elijah Releasing New Album
Joplin, MO metalcore outfit The Order Of Elijah is pleased to announce that "War At Heart" will be released January 8th.
The Jerrod Naff recorded and Nick Morris produced album, which can be pre-ordered here, features eleven slabs of Christian metal and a guest vocal appearance by Zachary Scott from It Lies Within. The band will hit the road around the release date in promotion of the album.
The band comments: “We've poured quite a bit into this album over the past year. The title, 'War at Heart,' seems to perfectly describe that season of life when reflecting upon the lyrics. After treading through a battlefield of life tragedies, divorce, and overcoming all obstacles before us, The Order of Elijah is taking 2016 with us into the relentless storm.”
